BBP: Freak Hop EP (2011)

It says here that the ‘freak hop’ concept was invented by long time Badboe cohort Prosper. ‘Freak hop’, in case you were wondering, seems to be like a mash-up for those with terminal ADHD since it involves combining not two or even three previously recorded tracks but as many as can possibly be crammed into between 4 to six minutes. Didn’t that used to be called a minimix? Whatever it is, the main elements of all the tracks are culled from the golden era of hip-hop and the five producers involved (Prosper, Badboe, Breakbeat Junkie vs. DJP and Audited Beats) stitch them together like freaky, demented sound surgeons into four hip-hop – er – centipedes or something. How’s that for a metaphor with legs? Should you feel inclined to fly your freak flag, get your freak on or be a freak like me, you don’t even have to wait because it’s out right now, correctly, on vinyl. ‘Ave it!
