Psychedelic/hip-hop/jazz-funk approximates what you will find on this groovy two-disc set. With instrumental flashes of the Zap Band and a voice akin to Barry White’s (though higher-pitched), Trible and friends produce dynamic tracks that will challenge assumptions. Hippy and hipster sets will accept this record immediately, but it might take the hardcore hip-hoppers a little longer. They, like all people, need to take Trible’s message to heart: “It’s all about love, peace, unity and havin’ fun.” Perhaps that’s why the trio included the second disc of instrumentals; to draw in rappers thirsting for innovative beats who might not have picked it up otherwise.
