Rochester, NY beat-smith Kidd Called Quest returns with surprise project Sounds Of The Track. An eighteen-track instrumental effort, the producer revealed that the project was inspired by 1975 Blaxploitation classic The Candy Tangerine Man. An underrated slice of street-cinema, the movie follows the exploits of the "Black Baron" a pimp who takes on the mob, the cops and turncoats in his stable.
Utilizing a variety of production styles Kidd Called Quest captures the vibe of the original while incorporating actual dialogue from the film.
