Smoove - Blown / Faith (WACK-26)

Renowned producer Smoove returns with Wack 26, delivering two masterful reimaginings that seamlessly blend vintage funk with golden-era hip-hop.

“Blown” sees Smoove deconstructing massive slabs of funk from Slave’s original multitrack recordings, expertly weaving in the legendary Pharrell for a fusion that’s both nostalgic and futuristic. The result? A funk-fueled groove that hits hard and stays fresh.

On “Faith”, Smoove continues his deep dive into Slave’s archives, stripping back the grooves and injecting a daisy-age hip-hop essence. With crisp, phat drums and an infectious rhythm, this track keeps the faith alive—just a touch!

Wack 26 is another testament to Smoove’s ability to bridge eras and genres, ensuring that the funk and hip-hop connection remains as vital as ever.
