Next, the good people at Madhouse laced me with a brand new exclusive from Cham, going in extra hard over the classic “Showtime” riddim in response to the political situation in Jamaica. The mix let’s them stretch out in all their gal-power, coochy-popping glory, including their most essential 45s plus well more than half original material and freestyles over everything from MIA to Shelly Thunder to the Good Men’s "Give it Up." So in true Duchampion Sound style I decided to post down below the full-length Q&A I conducted for the FADER piece and the mix in it’s entirety, which is just about as much Badda Badda Gals as you can reasonably be expected to handle You may also have noticed they’re awesome. You may recall Max debuted all three members-Tifa, Natalie Storm and Timberlee-here back when he did his “Ladies First” guest column and you may also have read the NWSPRNT I did on them (and the all-girl concept riddim that launched them) in FADER #56. That happened to me at least twice this week.įirst, my comrades-in-palms over at Federation Sound dropped their new Three The Hard Way mix CD showcasing TNT aka the Badda Badda Gals on me, which you can download here.
Like, why kill yourself trying to paint to the Mona Lisa when it’s staring back at you from the box of pasta in your cupboard everyday? Draw a mustache on it, throw it up on the wall of a gallery and call it a day. This week I am definitely on some Marcel Duchamp shit. Some weeks I really have to struggle for things I think are original and worth covering in this column and some weeks stuff just falls into my lap like a rain of dancehall readymades. Every week resident FADER selector Eddie STATS runs through dancehall riddims and other artifacts from the ghetto archipelago.
