The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band Play "Round & Round" by Hi-Tek & Jonell


Plane Jane Records is proud to present The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band's newest 45 release.

The BRSB made a ton of noise with their cult classic cover of 50 Cent's "PIMP" a few years back, most people thinking that it was the original tune 50 sampled from.

This time they take the Steel Drum Funk sound to a deeper part of Hip Hop with their own rendition on the late great J Dilla's classic tune "Rico Suave". The A Side is "Bacao Suave", a surefire version of the tune, and you know we like versions. DJs, have a great time.

The B Side is their rendition of the underground classic "Round & Round" from Hi Tek's Hi-Teknology album. An absolutely killer version of the tune, drums are heavy, steel pans playing thru the melodies, sure to turn heads on the dance floor.

Full length album "55" coming soon on Truth & Soul Records.
