"Hey, do you wanna get down today? Well, c'mon, Otis & Arlo are beginning to play They've been around for a while and their show is the bomb Because the boys only spin those top-notch songs They play Funky stuff and the classic Soul Mixed with Hip-Hop and some good Disco A little bit of Boogie and Brazilian vibes So you gotta check 'em out, when the show goes live They started out in Brighton, then, they moved it to France Arlo loves to do the record digging - Otis can dance And when their dad, Badj, educated them on the groove Their mommy, Mu, went: "oooo, merci beaucoup!" So, have a blast; let's groove and react You got to move real fast, like Wrigley The Rat The boys play a new tune every few minutes You love when they spin it... On The Sunday Get Down (Repeat) You got to get down!" 'F oreword' Expertly Rapped By: Andy Cooper "Sunday Get Down Theme" Beat By: Djar One Turntable Wizardry/DJ Cuts By...

"I asked AndyPuppet to appear in the "Rock Rock" video and to be honest, I found him far more entertaining than myself," Long Beach rapper-producer Andy Cooper replied when The Witzard asked where his inspiration for "Do The AndyPuppet" came from. "Since that point, I've featured him in a few other videos and it's pretty obvious that he's a natural super-star, so I decided it would be smart to acknowledge his greatness with a track. If you listen to "layers upon layers" (the LP mega-mix) you can hear AP make his microphone debut, as he and I cover [ Masta Ace 's] Rap classic, "Me & The Biz"' Cooper enthusiastically continued. I first got acquainted with Andy 's music late last year, when Flea Market Funk premiered BlabberMouf -assisted "Here Comes Another One" from his then-unreleased album, the layered effect . Many of you might recognize Andy Cooper 's name from his criticall...

"DEDICATED TO LOVERS OF MAXI-SINGLES AND EVERY JAZZY, ACOUSTIC BASS-DRIVEN HIP-HOP SONG, WHICH PROVIDED THE SOUNDTRACK FOR A PRETENTIOUS, UNNECESSARY ARTSY RAP VIDEO DURING THE EARLY 90'S..." reads the reverse side of Long Beach rapper-producer Andy Cooper's latest "Here Comes Another One" 12-inch. If pressed, I would likely equate Andy Cooper's second solo album, the layered effect to something along the lines of Homeboy Sandman's First of a Living Breed or Beastie Boys' 1989 cult favorite, Paul's Boutique; an increasingly fun, charismatic Golden Age Hip-Hop-reminiscent album chock-full with an insane amount of genre-eschewing samples. the layered effect is entirely self-produced by Andy Cooper himself—particularly, note-worthy for his past work with Ugly Duckling and The Allergies—and plays out like a care-free, fun-loving Hip-Hop album of days past. After seeing Andy's "Here Comes Another One" video on Flea Market Funk ...
