Well i'll post on it man! I bought this album back in the day when it first came out and played it til i had to buy another copy. And now here i am thinking of buying a box set just because it deserves that respect. Wonderful album full of intelligent, soulful, funky, housey, sassy, emotional grooves that you just can't get enough of. For me, the amazing vocals and the unforgettable piano hook of "black old of the sun" makes this the favourite track for me, but George Benson does some beautiful work on this album as does Roy Ayers. A real music lover's album, regardless of your preferences.
It's THE fucking shit.

Everybody excuse yourself and say what you mean about this piece of ground-breaking music from Little Louie And Kenny Dope. It is unbelievable.. First time i heard trough this i had to sit down later and just let it sink in. The last tune i heard then was Sweet Tears with Roy Ayers on Vibes and vocals. It`s a sad tune actually but is uplifting in the otherway.. It totaly blew my mind. To be able to fusionate House with Blues, Latin, Soul hip-hop.. You name it, Way back in 1996 is totally unbelievable. It was groundbreaking, turned the whole scene up-side down. If you ever see this 6-pack. Grab it whatever pricetag it may have. Its my most precious piece of music in my collection. Louie & Kenny became the most respected house producers after this. I rest my case!!!
(I belive that this boxset was released in even more limited releases. It was the same box but it featured 4 or 5 Cigars with "Nuyorican Soul" written on the belt. Totally awesome. And the picture here might be wrong, My boxset is not in color, its simply in a brown colored box (and was)Sealed with a green nuyorican soul bill)
