Reviews
I'm a massive MAW fan and you know what?! The The Ghetto / El Barrio track is sooo good, I havent even listened to the MAW side!
When my friend and I used to DJ some Sunday evening's in Nottingham, everyone asked what this track was! Such a great Jazz / funk / soul track!
Woah, what a phenomenal track by jazz legendary George Benson doing a cover of Donny Hathaway's The Ghetto remixed by Masters at Work aka MAW (Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzales). This is a fantastic house track jazzed up with a latin percussion drum track thanks to MAW. A fine example of MAW productions.
