The next volume in Stones Throw's new break series. Whereas the first featured the electro funky beats of James Pants, this one brings in Lootpack's DJ Romes for another round of hard hitting breaks. Romes flexes his funk and hip hop crate for most of these, translating everything from Jimmy Castor to "Rock Creek Park," NWA's "Boyz N Tha Hood" to Skull Snap-ish loops, and a whole slew of others for today's ear. Since these are more in the traditional break album form and are meant to be backbones rather than full tracks, I'd suggest two copies if you're planning to rip any routines. Just imagine the possibilities... 12 instrumentals total.
