Tuff Love – We Soul Survivors (soulclap)

Released: 05/04/2006

It is always good to discover new labels. Soulclap is an imprint from the Above the Clouds crew. Apparently, it is dedicated to updating and re-editing old school Hip Hop classics. That goes down well in my book. Initiative, class and quality. 

London’s Hoop and Lil Gav aka Tuff Love works over “Pete Rock & CL Smooth – Take You There” and “OC-Born to live”.The first of the two is one of the best re-edits I’ve heard for a while, adding a beautiful and playful piano line to the original slow and groovy beats and keeping the vocal. I can’t get enough of it. Liv Gav’s edit of “Born to live is quality as well. Good downtempo beats with proper old school rhymes. This 12 is strictly limited to 500 copies – so get your copy asap.
