And 1: Black Ivory - Mainline
Buzzer Beater: Black Ivory - You and I (sampled by Q-T!p for "Gett!n Up" and Madl!b for "Understand!ng (Compr3h3ns!on))
Black Ivory is Logg. Logg is Black Ivory. Leroy Burgess took the group from one record label to to Salsoul and in doing so had to change the name cause the other label owned the name of the group Black Ivory thus Logg was born. Here are four tracks from, well, basically the same group.
The Rae of Wu-Tang fame sampled track is a stand-alone heater and the other is a disco classic with the added Larry Levan touch. Apparently "I Know You Will" was recorded, extended, given the Levan treatment and put out in 2 weeks. Wow great music doesn't have to be complicated does it? I listen the full music tracks still, but only when it's this gouda.
"Mainline" was Black Ivory's first foray into disco and "You and I" has been recently been sampled by two of hip hop's all time greats - Q-Tip and Madlib. Black Ivory had a sh!tload more greats but here's the one's you should have known by now.
