I was very pleased to discover Kroot with this song. It is the first song Incahoots ever produced, and as a first track, I can say that they are on the right track. It was composed as an hommage to Public Enemy.
"...Just chill Spend a few dolla dolla bills and take our mind off hard times and crime..."
The lyrics are well written and the flow goes well with the instrumental. Guitar riffs and smooth piano chords, sometimes a pad / etheral voice accentuates the key notes of the track.
The non-lyrical parts of the song, starting with a few very snappy TR808-909 clap sounds and followed by the very symbolic piano chords, are reminding me some of the early house (1985-89) produced by Rhythm Kings such as the Beatmasters and other Bomb The Bass. This is maybe not intentional but was appreciated.
Unusual and well achieved, a guitar solo pops up during the last minute of the track, followed by a smooth out-tro with warm voices, ending the whole thing with class.
