Dip trip, flip fantasia

I’ll always give a lot of credit for Cantaloop, by Us3. It’s just a near perfect sample/interpolation that turns the uber-mellow Cantaloupe Island (by the legendary Herbie Hancock) into a real head-nodder. Sure, it lacks a little in the lyrics department — but the beat lets you overlook this.

You’d probably call the group a one-hit wonder, though the other single, the dancehall-ish “Tukka Yoot’s Riddim,” is solid on its own — and the rest of “Hand on the Torch” is pretty good too.

To my utter surprise, I learned recently that they’re ON THEIR SEVENTH ALBUM. What? Guess I’ll do a little homework.
