From South Africa to Los Angeles, Melly-Mel links with producer Tone Spliff to drop their collaborative album, "New People". This 12-track album brings back the Golden Era Hip Hop feel with Boom Bap production, scratches and raw lyricism. Guest appearances on New People include Mr. Lif (Boston), Kool Taj the Gr8 (Buffalo) and Mel's group, The Assembly (South Africa). I hear hints of Ras Kass in Melly-Mel's voice and delivery (which is 100% a compliment), and the producer/MC combination just adds to the nostalgic feel, offering us a cohesive body of work.
