{"product_id":"extended-play","title":"Extended Play","description":"Photographer: Dom Dirtee.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing work with Strong Arm Steady, for his second full-length with N.Y.C. label Duck Down, DJ\/producer extraordinaire Statik Selektah taps into the golden age boom-bap beats of Pete Rock and DJ Premier and recruits a huge cast of classic-era and modern rappers to back up his endeavor. With nearly 40 high-profile guests -- including Action Bronson, Posdnous of De La Soul, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Freddie Gibbs, Black Thought, Blu, and Noreaga -- the album packs in as much talent as a volume of Lyricist Lounge, and Statik Selektah does a good job of reining it all in and showcasing the various rhyme styles with his beats. Standout single \"Bird Eye's View\" bounces between new- and old-school artists with Joey Bada$$ and Raekwon trading verses, before Black Thought delivers one of his all-time best 16 bars, and \"21 \u0026amp; Over\" maintains the same balancing act, with young Mac Miller keeping up with the hardcore rhymes of veteran MC Sean Price. Elsewhere, \"The Spark\" musically mirrors Kanye's soul-jazz production work with Common and \"Make Believe\" features a Fender Rhodes keyboard line and snappy breakbeat that would make Ali Shaheed Muhammad blush. Turntable scratching and a glaring lack of digital manipulation make this feel more like a throwback, but despite the fact that this is the fifth album completed in six years, Statik Selektah's Extended Play doesn't seem sloppily thrown together. Instead, it's a dense, imaginative outing that pays tribute to classic East Coast hip-hop lovingly. ~ Jason Lymangrover","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45935263514911,"sku":"693461233522","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/7a23cc6ded30158ad28425bfe403ffc7.jpg?v=1777737422","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/extended-play","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
