BJ Smith – Umi Says / Runnin (NuNorthern Soul) 12″

This neat slice of mashup-Balearic from BJ Smith is a clever exercise in sample combination. First released in 2013 but reissued again here, we hear two iconic hip-hop tracks – Mos Def’s ‘Umi Says’ and  ‘Runnin’ – both laid to serene, lackadaisical Balearic backings.
