The electronic minimal Funk of Filewile’s «Damn» paints the perfect soundscape for New York Rapper RQM’s brilliant anecdote about a ride on the A-train on a rainy Sunday. Rhyme and music blend in rare harmony to create a funny, crisp and sexy image of an only too familiar situation. Remixes accompany the original, one by Jahcoozi and the other by the Round Table Knights. The extra track is a dubby Reggae tune named «Forward», feat. Rider Shafique of the Son of Man / Pressure Drop camp.
«Tripped-out rap storytelling: Comical raps about sexual disaaster used to be a staple of hip hop (think Tone Loc or Digital Underground) but not so much of late. Thankfully rapper RQM is genuinely funny, while Swiss dubheads Filewile underpin it with twisted electronic hip hop beats, and Jahcoozi turn it booty-tastic on the remix. So much for left-field dance being humourless!» Joe Muggs, Mixmag uk, July 2007
