"This is none other than the Down to the Bone production crew working out before their 2001 Spread the Word release. The Hustlers release was available in the summer of 2000 and freshens up 1970 BT Express, Brass Construction, Crown Heights Affair, Brecker Bros grooves...it's like what this genre would sound like in the year 2000. SLIPMAT is the funkiest,groovin-est,bootyshakin-est jamm I have ever heard in my life! AFROVIBE-WARNING:DO NOT PLAY THIS IN YOUR CAR...you think you are driving a pimpmobile and maybe arrested for soliciting....MO'BOUNCE try and sit still while listening to this...your booty involuntarily bounces up and down and I have witnessed rhythm transplants for those who have lost it. New Jazz City is real music,familiar yet entirely original and best of all you will play it from beginning to end....just like your favorite old 8 track!!!"
