Opaque Orange. Catalog Number: COK012lp-C1 Color: Orange Format: LP UPC: 648564356142 Enigmatic instrumental group from The Pro-Teens pay tribute to the late great rapper MF Doom, reimagining 14 iconic cuts through a wonky boom bap funk lens. Helmed by Hudson Whitlock, prolific drummer and percussionist of Karate Boogaloo and Surprise Chef, Melbourne's The Pro-Teens is a collective of instrumentalists making weirdo instrumental soul records. Drawing from the community of musicians from such bands in the College Of Knowledge orbit, The Pro-Teens' incorporate the comic book stylings of Doom and Kool Keith, the dark and exotic flavors of Gravediggaz and Wu-Tang Clan, the cinematic compositional mastery of Galt MacDermot, Richard Evans and Marc Moulin, culminating in an unorthodox patchwork of cinematic soul, boom-bap funk breaks and left-field instrumental textures. MF Teen: Your Concurrence In The Above Is Assumed recognises the legacy of rap's Illest Villain, traversing MF Doom's discography and personas, flipping selections from Madvillain, MM.. Food, Viktor Vaughan, Danger Doom and more, taking care to ensure recognisable tunes such as Doomsday and Curls are represented alongside more obscure cuts such as The Gas Face, the Third Bass song that featured the first recorded verse from MF Doom in his original moniker of Zev Love X of KMD.
