Reaching the Jogalog this week is Mtume's "Juicy Fruit." Probably the most memorable tune of the LP would be "Juicy Fruit." Made super famous when it was sampled by Biggie for "Juicy," which appeared on "Ready to Die." While that maybe the only tune that will ring the familiar bell in your brainhead, its just one of an array of incredible dance songs.
Mtume's production style proves why he was one of the most sought after producers of the late 70's and 80's. He produced numerous records for Stephanie Mills (which may be Jogaloged very soon), also Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, and The Bar-kays. Not only does he have production credits, but also played percussion for Miles Davis in the early 70's. With all his experience he truly knew how to put a stellar band together and hit the feel right on the money. Enjoy the record and please shake your pants.
