Now for some background: Back in 1993, J-Swift set up the Wascal Castle studio almost immediately after finishing “Bizarre Ride...”, to work with his ‘baby’ Pharcyde group, The Wascals. Bucwheed, Spit Anky, Alfalfa and St. Imey had been warming up on the sidelines, while Imani, Booty Brown, Fatlip and Slim Kid Tre were circling the globe. They jumped into the game by dropping their first 12” called “The Dips” in mid 1994, and followed that single up with “Class Clown” backed with “Hard Rhymes”. The Wascals were poised to become a sensation until the group mysteriously imploded and the album got shelved.
Jump ahead to the present, J-Swift and Michael Ross went into the Delicious Vinyl vaults to dust off this never before heard classic. The album is jam packed with goodies and every track showcases J-Swift and the Wascals at the height of their powers, as the psychedelic jazz beats blend seamlessly with crazy voiced lyrical shenanigans. It also features guest vocals on one track, and a remix of another, by Fatlip of The Pharcyde. This is not an album to ignore.
