Soul Supreme – Dues And Don’ts (7″) [Soul Supreme Records SSR45008]

By now, heads surely know that a new record by Soul Supreme is a guaranteed sure shot. Following his acclaimed tributes to A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Mos Def, and more, the new “Dues and Don’ts” b/w “Fraud Fades” 45 features two all-original jazz-funk groovers by the Amsterdam-based keyboardist and producer.

This new release takes two highlights from last year’s album ‘Poetic Justice,’ with “Dues and Don’ts” and “Fraud Fades” for the first time available on 45.

J-Zone graces both songs with drums, heavily on point as always. The A-side features slow burner “Dues and Don’ts” with its syrupy funk rhythms. The hard-hitting, body-moving “Fraud Fades” on the B-side is the real anthem here—drum breaks galore. Clearly inspired by 60s Blue Note, the brass-heavy ‘money-grubbing bad guy theme’ concludes with a killer solo by Dotan ‘Tane’ Bergman on guitar, responded to with a solo by Soul Supreme himself.

With these two heavy hitters, this 45 is bound to never leave your record bag either.
