Album Review: El Michels Affair - Enter the 37th Chamber (2009)

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Drenched in Wu-Tang sensibilities and infused with 70’s/80’s kung-fu cinema bombast, I have entered the 37th Chamber and would like to linger ad infinitum.

Leon Michels is a scintillating lo-fi funk phenom whose instrumental weaponry and production aesthetics make the soul groove.

The Shaolin monks say the Wu-Tang school originated with them, shall we still say that?

Prestige tracks: Duel of the Iron Mics, C.R.E.A.M.E., Can It All Be So Simple, Uzi (Pinky Ring), Criminology, Heaven & Hell, Shimmy Shimmy Ya
