General Elektriks is the brainchild of french keyboard wonder Herve Salters, who is gearing up to release his second album on Quannum, Good City for Dreamers. To promote the album, he's releasing one free song each month on his website, each featuring a different emcee over a sample-based beat. This, the third release in the Pocket Full of MCs series, features Pigeon John and Prince's "When Doves Cry." (The first paired Mr. Lif with an obscure Serge Gainsbourg sample and the second married rapper Beans with Duran Duran's "The Chauffer.") Here, a slowed-down loop of Prince's synths is mixed with Pigeon John's rhymes about having "no game at all." It's a refreshing take on the boy-meets-girl rap song.
THIS TRACK IS BAD AXE!!
