"STAND UP E.P."
"Breakestra never fails to satisfy the itch
for funk... peep out ‘Stand Up’ and you'll see why..."
SHORTKUT (BEAT JUNKIES)
Two
of the stand-out tracks from “Hit The Floor” get exclusive
re-works for this EP. Also included is an alternative laid-back
rhodes-heavy version of DJ-favorite “Family Rap” that
has yet to be made commercially available. If you missed "Family
Rap" first time out it's an old school posse cut in the spirit
of the live-band old school rap jams a la the Treacherous 3 and
Grandmaster Flash. This one features West Coast friends and family
Chali 2na and Soup of Jurassic 5 and Double K from People Under
The Stairs
Vocalist Choklate steps out from behind her hot underground hip
hop soul single “Waitin’” to deliver a new super
bad soul sister vocal over the instrumental of “Stand Up”,
while UK producer Quantic makes an old-school soul version of
“Hiding”. Hotness!
Breakestra embark on a tour of Australia (alongside James Brown,
Norman Jay, Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, Z-Trip) and Europe (including
two dates at the Jazz Cafe in London plus dates in Germany, Netherlands,
Belgium, Switzerland, England, Ireland, France) this March and
the single will be released just as they return home. For the
