JR & PH7 may not be new to the Booth but, since their first (and, to date, last) appearance was nearly two years ago, I’ll refresh your memory: hailing from Cologne, Germany, the production duo were introduced in March ‘09 with Black Milk/Guilty Simpson collab Top Rank. Now, the beatsmiths are back on our front page with Let’s Get It, the third single off their sophomore set. This street-ready selection finds the beatsmiths blending gritty piano chords, pensive organ riffs and hard-nosed percussion (accented by the occasional clink of a fallen shell) as underground vet Rasco delivers a booming chronicle of his paper chase. Though the subject matter’s as old as cash itself, the San Fran mainstay’s intense delivery makes this joint well worth the price of admission, and the classic samples on the bridge (Wu-Tang‘s Ice Cream, O.C.‘s My World...) only add to the retro freshness. Like what you’re hearing? You can find more where where this came from on JR & PH7’s The Update LP, released last November via Soulspazm Records/Foundation Media.

JR & PH7 laid down a supremely-enjoyable beat, deeply rooted in the streets on "Let's Get It." The record reminds me of some 90s ish that you'd play on your walkman while walking home from the park around dusk.

These unfamiliar (to me) cats surely delivered behind the boards and the flow wasn't bad, either.

Goddamn it Z, you completely stole my comment.

Def, this had that aggressive quality feel that was so prevalent in the 90s - but it doesn't sound trapped in the past at all. I'll listen to more from these guys any day.

I cannot accuse this track of being highly original, but if it's cliché it at least does it very well. Excellent theatre.
