'BMB x OBI II' sees the continuation of the much sought after collaboration between Minnesota's afro-psych powerhouse, Black Market Brass, and the young, visionary talent that is Obi Original. Black Market Brass follows the initial release of this partnership, 'Battle Ready,' as hard-hitting as they've started it. Both sides highlight and deliver the raw, tenacious attitudes that the two artists are known for individually with a song selection that spans a wider spectrum than the first installment. Drawing a direct line between the godfather of soul and the father of afrobeat, Obi Original wields the raucous 10-piece ensemble in a way that evokes the stage of Zaire '74. These tracks hit hard, stay heavy, and make no apologies.

The A-side, 'If I Do My Own,' is funk. Heavy on the one, this track showcases Obi's band leadership, à la James Brown; if only you could see him dancing in the vocal booth. Stacked horns, a leader barking orders, and a rhythm section that won't quit leads listeners to the land of the get-down. The energy stays high as Obi calls forward soloists, even picking up the guitar himself to show us how "he does his own." 'If I Do My Own' is a track slated to make the dance hall shake, with horn and vocal hooks that will live rent free in your head well after last-call. The B-side, 'I No Be (Colonizer)', in no way let's it's foot off the gas as dance music is concerned. This song, however, sees BMB returning to their polyrhythmic roots, creating a multi-varied weave of time feels, meter construction, and rhythmic emphasis. That challenge is met and answered by Obi's Ebo infused lyrics and horn melodies that wind around the vocal rather than merely serving as background. Halfway through the song, BMB's three-member percussion section rips into a soli. Powerful, unembellished, and raw, the trio doesn't pull any punches when delivering this rhythm break which propels the song into an unrelenting four-on-the-floor vamp featuring a guitar solo turned up to 11 that will dance you right out of your shoes.
