Kenny Dope: Classic Breakbeats Limited Edition 45 Boxset

Classic Kenny Dope breakbeat material! This is quite the collection of 90s cuts from the dude. Eleven downright essential tracks that showcase Kenny Dope’s ability to rise to the top of whatever genre he might dabble in. The Supacat sampling “Supa” along with Masters At Work’s “Buddha Chant” are text book examples of the sample heavy hip hop sound Dope had a hand in developing. These are party breaks at their most distilled; classic samples, heavy breaks, and looped up vocal chops. There are plenty of unreleased nuggets in this boxset as well. From the Shaggy featuring “Gunshot” to the Method Man sample on “Get On Down” there’s plenty of crowd moving material. You could probably rock a party with this boxset alone, just buy 2 copies so you can rock doubles a la The 45 King.
