Review

Funky. Soulful. Conscious. Organic. One part jazz, one part hip-hop, this double disc provides a sound that's both accessible enough to be immediately interesting and intricate enough to maintain that interest. The man behind Colossus, Charlie Tate, has drawn on his own impressive musical experience in creating this album, having worked with the likes of Roy Ayers, Fred Wesley, and Gil Scott Heron. Haunting keys, warm basslines, subtle scratching, and head-nodding percussion keep things moving throughout. The production is so strong that the guest emcees are often relegated to the background--the exception being the outstanding performance of London's Roots Manuva. With West Oaktown Charlie Tate establishes a level of artistic and musical credibility that makes many of his peers pale in comparison. While the mainstream media may sleep on an artist like Colossus, OM Records certainly have not: alongside J Boogie and People Under the Stairs, the OM hip-hop offering is suddenly looking surprisingly strong. -- Anish Acharya
