MH-205 Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Wave Motion  Wave Motion, the first full-length instrumental release from Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician of The Five Deez, explores the deeper side of instrumental hip-hop. Using mature production and seductive jazz samples, Jon has created a truly notable record. Taking equal inspiration from 60's Kind Of Blue jazz and 70's Innervisions soul, Jon has crafted a release that chooses understated melodies and chord changes over cheap thrill loops and scratches. It is the work of someone who has spent years in the studio; it is the work of someone who has created thousands of tracks. Wave Motion is Fat Jon's finest work to date and a solid addition to the Mush catalog. |

| Fat Jon, the other half of 3582 and part of Five Deez, delivers a delicious hip-hop instrumental album that hits harder than Jackie Chan and a Richard Pryor punch line combined. Wave Motion is a nice chill-out filled with an Afro-soul that's impossible to dislike, combining rap and funk elements as deftly as an Ali Shaheed Muhammad. In fact, Wave Motion is also heavily reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest, and, if the Ample Soul Physician is a disciple of the defunct band, he couldn't have chosen a better religion. If your neck has been a little stiff lately from head-nod deficiency, I strongly recommend checking out Fat Jon. Everything from the clavicle up will thank you. - Ink 19 |
