JMS: Joint of The Week: Sweatshop Union - "Feelin' Alright" (2002)

This week's Joint of The Week is lifted from Canadian Hip Hop outfit Sweatshop Union's debut album Local.604 but more precisely from the artist that was previously part of the crew: Kyprios

"Feelin' Alright" uses an infamous Joe Cocker sample of the same name to lovely effect and combined with a classic drum break (the original artists escape these dusty memory cells at the moment) just works well, I can't say that I was a big fan of all of their materiel but the first couple of SU albums are differently worth checking out.

Copywrite-Read it and love it. Fuck those morons talkin shit about u "giving away free music". They'll complain no matter what u do. I've known camu longer than anyone in any crew he was ever in and I know he would love to be remembered for the obsession he put into his music and art. Much love fam. U even had "hear me talkin to you". A lot of people slept and never checked that out. Props fam. I'm gonna check the przm one out too. I miss both these people daily.
D.Lynch (Solid Scheme)-Thanks for the write up, you really did your homework. Thanks for taking me for a trip down memory lane. As for not seeing any photos of Solid Scheme your correct Chris and I were really on the low. We just made beats. Chris Passed away on March 9th 2001 of a suddden heart attack he was only 31That was my Dog! As for me I'm still making beats living in Los Angeles though originally from Brooklyn.
Hitman Howie Tee-Jaz, Your da man. Thanx for da hook up, what more can I say, but BIG BIG Thanx man. I'm in Orlando, FL now just chillin with the fam. I have maadd trax, but Hip-Hop is NOT the same, it's ALL about the money. When you do hip hop for the money, you make the money, But when you do hip hop for the love of hip hop, you make HISTORY (the money will come). Think About, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five did not get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame becouse they made money. Hollaback
