After a few weeks off after the Looped For Pleasure uploads, Empty Archive features some freestyle electro this week.
Big love out to August for the tip on this one. He played it for me after picking it up touring in Queensland.
The 'help' vocal has echoed throughout my mind since, and I am stoked to finally have my own copy and be able to share in on the web.
Ronnie DeVoe is a former member of New Edition, one of America's earliest boybands, and had a few solo releases on the relatively obscure freestyle label Kamikaze Records.
Here simply as Ronnie, his cheesy freestyle ballad gets a down and dirty electro treatment from E-Tone, who had a number of remixes giving more timeless treatments to of-the-time freestyle cuts.
The vocal production is undoubtedly the hero on this record, particularly the echoing help that has stayed in my head since August showed it to me over a year ago.
Pick it up while you still can.
