British producer Colin Emmanuel [aka C-Swing] has gotten his big break with help from Lowlife Records, home to Jehst, Rodney P and Skinnyman. His production skills have helped him work with a range of artists from Jamelia to remixes for Nas and eventually allowed him to produce The Beta Band’s “Hot Shots 2” album and currently is involved with tours and production for Steve Mason’s King Biscuit Time.
This album is a nice mix of styles, from the rap skills of legend KRS-1 on My Thing!!!, Braintax‘s Let’s Go Away and Mystro‘s Heat to the terrifically catchy Pretend featuring Nate James’ smooth vocals. With other guests appearing such as Terri Walker, Michelle Escoffery and pop writer Daniel DeBourg, Emmanuel is able to put all sorts of different sounds into the pot and still come out with a tasty album. Amazing.
