Bacao’s cover of \u003cstrong\u003e50 Cent’s\u003c\/strong\u003e “PIMP” was featured so heavily in the film and plays such a huge role in the storyline that it became synonymous with its success. Subsequently, they ushered in the first appearance of steel pans in the orchestra pit at the Academy Awards so they could play the tune as director Justine Triet walked on stage to accept the award. All of this brought a lot of new fans to Bacao and pushed the streaming numbers of “PIMP” well past 40 million. For those in the know, this tune made its way into underground fame back in 2008 when it was first pressed on band leader Bjorn Wagner’s own Mocambo imprint and was often mistaken for the original sample source from which 50 made his hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll accolades and international fame aside, “PIMP” is literally just the tip of the Bacao iceberg. With four full length albums and a tall stack of 7” singles that have become staples to DJs around the world, they have been prolific since signing with Big Crown in 2014. Despite the constant releases and elaborate catalog, every recording session has borne more fruit than could fit on an album, leaving a handful of tunes in the recording vault. Here on Big Crown Vaults Vol. 4 we open up that vault and give all (well, most of) those tunes a proper pressing and release.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens up with their cover of the \u003cstrong\u003eBob James\u003c\/strong\u003e uber-classic breakbeat “Nautilus” and they put a spin on the original that puts it directly in the must have category for all hip hop and breakbeat enthusiasts. Keeping their foot on the gas, they give the BRSB treatment to the Khruangbin classic “Maria También” with their signature bottom heavy drums taking the energy of the tune to a whole new place. Infamous for digging deep in the crates when picking material to reinterpret, they next take on \u003cstrong\u003eRoyce the 5’9”’s J Dilla\u003c\/strong\u003e produced “Let’s Grow”. Originally the B side to the first pressing of “PIMP” (and making an appearance on the very limited first 2LP pressing of their debut album 55) we put the “PIMP (Version)” on here where they give their original recording the proper dub treatment with melodica and tape echo galore. They turn up the tempo and the funk covering the\u003cstrong\u003e Jackson 5’s \u003c\/strong\u003e“Great To Be Here” and again dive deep into obscurity with the \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e dancefloor burner “Lookout Baby (Here I Come)”. While part of the allure of a new Bacao Rhythm \u0026amp; Steel Band album is finding out what covers they are going to take on, it is equally intriguing to see what original tunes they’ve cooked up. While BCR Vaults Vol. 4 only has one original, “Kaiso Noir”, it’s an uptempo crowd-pleaser that sounds like a mix between a b-boy break and a James Bond score.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of songs spans from 2008 to 2023 and explores a variety of genres, from hip-hop to jazz to soul and pop, through the Bacao lens. The band is already working on their fifth full-length studio album, and this compilation should be the perfect thing to hold fans over until it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Nautilus\u003cbr\u003eA2 Maria También\u003cbr\u003eA3 Let’s Grow\u003cbr\u003eA4 PIMP (Version)\u003cbr\u003eA5 Look Out (Here I Come)\u003cbr\u003eA6 Great To Be Here\u003cbr\u003eA7 Juicy Fruit\u003cbr\u003eB1 8th Wonder\u003cbr\u003eB2 Murkit Gem\u003cbr\u003eB3 All For The Cash\u003cbr\u003eB4 Kaiso Noir\u003cbr\u003eB5 Guess Who’s Back\u003cbr\u003eB6 Giana Sisters\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bacao Rhythm \u0026 Steel Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853221323095,"sku":"BCR181C-LP","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/BRSBvol4.png?v=1782184115","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/big-crown-vaults-vol-4-colored-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
