The PPP are a two-man dynamic musical duo with
an essential new twist on modern hip hop and soul. Producers Waajeed
(a founding member of Slum Village) and musical sidekick Saadiq
have worked hard for two years releasing 12” singles, contributing
to the Rewind series and performing several highly talked-about
live shows while working on their debut album “Triple P”.
The first two PPP singles sparked sold-out European tour dates and
a flurry of press from the LA Times to Urb Magazine’s Next
100 issue, a Top 5 rating from The Detroit Free Press for their
performance at Detroit’s electronic music festival, Movement
2004, plus a mass of features in lifestyle and music mags, and a
steady buzz in industry-savvy circles. They’ve appeared as
guests and had their music play on radio shows from San Francisco
to London to Paris and Tokyo, including Radio 1, Radio 1xtra, Ministry
of Sound, Radio Nova, Jointone, and on the Ninja Tune globally syndicated
show Solid Steel. In addition to multiple dates in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Detroit, they hold down a residency at the revered
Friends and Family Club in England, and have played several dates
in New York including a Puma/Giant Step Tsunami benefit alongside
The Brazilian Girls. They’re played an exclusive PUMA party
at WMC, and are touring the USA this summer.
Cover versions of Faze O’s classic “Rydin’ High”
and Bobby Caldwell’s “Open Your Eyes” on Rewind
Volume 2 showcased their ability to match beat making with musicianship,
and the original tracks flaunted on “Triple P” launch
an exciting voyage into Detroit hip-hop, soul, house, and rock.
It’s a mix that is that is at once polished and catchy but
also edgy for the underground heads. Fellow Detroit artists Jay
Dee, MC Ta-Raach, plus UK-based Spacek, and Los Angeles based SA-RA
Creative Partners pop up on the album. The jump off 12” featured
the vocal abilities of Los Angeles native and newcomer Georgia on
a classic Waajeed-style banger called “Your Day Is Done”
with New York based Tiombe Lockhart’s soulful jazz ballad
“I Got You,” on the flip – this track was nominated
for song of the year by the BBC Radio 1 Worldwide show. The second
12” also features Tiombe Lockhart on a bumpin’ soul
cut with Ge-ology and Rich Medina adding their remix prowess to
a joint featuring Jay Dee. Other album highlights include a Latin-fueled
version of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” (already garnering
support from DJs worldwide) and a track with Detroit MC Invincible.
While the PPP moniker may be somewhat new to the scene, Waajeed
is no stranger to those who know their hip-hop. Teaming up with
hip hop production guru Jay Dee in the early 1990s, Waajeed helped
form the trailblazing group Slum Village. He contributed tracks
to Slum’s “Dirty District” compilation on Sequence/Kinetic
in 2002 and recorded seven tracks (co-producing two) for the critically
acclaimed “Trinity (Past, Present, and Future)” released
on Capitol in 2002 - including production credits on “La La”
and the dub-influenced club banger “Star.” He worked
with Jay Dee co-producing tunes on the instant classic, “Welcome
2 Detroit” released on BBE in 2001 and co-produced songs with
Detroit soul sensation Dwele. Waajeed’s production work was
also featured in MGM’s box-office hit, Barbershop 1. His label,
Bling 47, provided the launching pad for “The Official Jay
Dee Instrumental Series,” regarded in many circles as an underground
classic, and the first installment of his own instrumental series,
“BPM.” Bling 47 productions have even wound up on Cartoon
Network’s Adult Swim programming slot.
Waajeed, a self-taught musician who feels right at home in front
of his MPC 2000, is known for his gritty Detroit hip hop style.
Whereas Saadiq, a master keyboard and guitar player, brought up
under the tutelage of world-renowned songwriter Barrett Strong (most
known for his work with Motown artist Marvin Gaye), brings the element
of improvisational live instrumentation to PPP’s sound. Waajeed
and Saadiq were introduced through their mutual friends, Slum Village,
and the two joined forces musically at the turn of the millennium.
Their partnership was formally launched on Ubiquity’s Rewind
Vol.2 and continued to flourish behind the boards for acts including
top-selling German group, ASD and Japan based DJ Mitsu’s album
“The Awakening Remixes” on “Right Here,”
featuring Dwele |
