about
London-based label, Def Pressé are very pleased to announce their partnership with legendary Library Music label KPM. Def Pressé and friends, including names like Stro Elliot (The Roots), J-Live, Jazzy Jeff, Bastien Keb, Chris Dave and many more to come have been given exclusive access to the KPM Library. These projects will take shape as two types of record. Def Pressé Editions/KPM Crate Diggers are works built around samples from KPM releases amongst other Library Music catalogues. Def Pressé Editions/KPM Originals are brand new pieces of music, free from samples. Both of these series’ include some very special guest vocalists and musicians as well as the Producers/Arrangers themselves. All of this music will be released by Def Pressé and placed into the vaults at KPM Library Music.
To launch the KPM Crate Diggers series we have Damu the Fudgemunk with the leading single from his Def Pressé Editions debut, Conversation Peace. Entitled Four Better or Worse (Pt. 1) and featuring a powerful guest appearance from the dazzling MC, Nitty Scott, the collaboration is the proper introduction for what's in store on the whole album. This marks the first time the two artists have worked together, but evidence that if they do continue to work together in the future, there's great chemistry from the jump. Four Better or Worse (Pt. 1), is the opening piece from a four part suite (Side B of the album) running around 20 minutes total. Damu used the inspiration he collected absorbing much of the KPM library to craft this seamless exhibition of his ideas that occupies the entire second half of Conversation Peace. Each segment features a different voice. Part 1 is the most musically energetic of the suite and Nitty Scott's presence is the perfect attribute. The Michigan born, east coast bred vocalist crafted a very charismatic and confident verse over the driving evolution of sounds tailored for Scott's artistry. Written in the thick of 2020, the closing quote nods to the current social climate and optimistically encourages black excellence in wake of systemic racism. "So gimme the front, gimme a blunt & a picket sign. Spent more than time below the Mason-Dixon line. Black lives lit it, UP! I hear critics, but never will a bigot prevent me from getting mine." Nitty's engaging call to action segues into the poetic soundscape sourced from KPM's vinyl archive

lyrics
I’m Sam Cooke wit da soul, like summatime sky
Peach cobbler on the ride, make the pies fly
Buddaflies in July, speak in tie-dye
Punch-drunk off the rum, is you mai tai?
Looking at my guy, like, why would I lie?
Life is a drive-by, no, never a dry eye
So why don’t we eliminate the extra?
Shorty cannot play me, won’t you try playing Alexa?
They try’n’a reach me like they try’n’a get to Mecca
Plus I got perfection on the record like Elektra
So gimme the front, gimme a blunt and a picket sign
Spent more than time below the Mason-Dixon line
Black lives lit it – uhp!
I hear critics
But never will a bigot prevent me from getting mine

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
