    Big shout out once again to the list! I don't go wrong when I listen to
    yall. Two sweet purchases over the weekend

    WOOKIE-(self-titled) (soulIIsoul recordings)
    I've had his name written down since January when I heard "scrappy" on
    Worldwide. It was worth the wait. It is two-step and a bit more. Even his
    anthems ("Down on me" and "Battle") don't sound like the regular riddim
    folks ride to me. A hell of a lot more bass everywhere. He loves the bass,
    loves it and any opportunity on the album to freak it he takes it ("VCF").
    As you can see I like the album a lot, recommending tracks like everyone
    should have it-you should!:).

    TWO BANKS OF FOUR-City Watching (Man if it wasn't for the list sometimes:)
    I saw it when I got Wookie and decided to give it a try, glad I did. I like
    this one definitely more Jazz influenced than others, It's really all about
    the "Afroblue" remake. All the way around another decent step in the
    rotation. They have beats too, check "Perilous Ways" and "Hook & A line". I
    really got this because of all the buzz generated on the list, what can I
    say overall I guess most of you kinda know your music...;)...keep me up!!

    Peace,
    Ralph C.
