BBE's Beat Generation sends itself off with one last commission, an Oxnard Omega to Jay Dee's pre-ordained Alpha ode to the 'D', Welcome 2 Detroit. "The New Resident"'s an ADD ...In India equal to Badu-bought Kendricks re-vision "My People", its chromatic Nyabinghi bounce briefly bound to Ra-like uncredited female vocals. WLIB AM's reception's a bit scrambled overall, especially if you're looking for more cameo-free instrumentals than appear (wind 1:30 into "Blinfold Test #10" [sic] for J-Rocc's jazz-bass scratch clinic, though), but G. A. Muldrow and Defari's early guest spots are both bang-on (viz. the latter's Sunset Strip G'd-out gambol "Gamble On Ya Boy").
