ABDOMINAL - Pedal Pusher - 2007 - Single review

MC Abdominal. He pushes pedals...not crack.

ABDOMINAL – Pedal Pusher / Radio Friendly – 2007 – Single review
RATING: 5/5

Fuck 2007, hip-hop in 1991 sound so much better. Yes - Abs is back to prove once again that a mind-bendingly whimsical rhyme (about riding his bike), a Golden-era bassline capable of making a small city bounce and a fast looped funk break (courtesy of Ugly Duckling's DJ Einstein) are still dope. And the Cut Chemist-produced B-side is equally solid. It’s almost embarrassing that a formula so old still sounds so fresh – especially when compared to this year’s lack of virtually any memorable mainstream hip-hop hits - a bit like watching a father run effortless rings around his asthmatic-lardass of a chip-eating teenage son on the soccer field. Bring on the LP!
Out now.
