Masta Ace - Natural Forces (LP)

Facts Hip-Hop legend Masta Ace gets remixed with Earth Wind & Fire samples by remix mastermind Tom Caruana (Wu-Tang vs The Beatles / Jimi Hendrix). Tom remixes material predominantly from the Masta Ace Incorporated era, as well as other stages in Ace's career. What makes this project unique is the addition of 2 brand new tracks by Masta Ace, 'Freedom House' & 'Uncle Larry' which both see Ace in a retrospective mood. The Earth Wind & Fire material sampled is generally from their earlier releases, more raw and downtempo than the uptempo disco they are better known for. The album flows like a live show with soundbites and skits from both parties. There's tracks with Guru, Phonte, Wordsworth, Edo G, Torae, Stricklin and Large Professor. Ace and guests flow as if they were there onstage with the band creating cosmic vibes to the soundscape of kalimbas, vocal harmonies, funky basslines and banging drums!
