If you became a fan of Uncommon Records through my work or through the work of any of our recent releases, you owe it to yourself to spend some time with “Paper Mache”. It’s a gem from the era of the 12” record release and emerges from the vaults of Definitive Jux. This is a record I never get tired of hearing, always a head nod to the beat and always a hypeman in my crib to the lyrics, Paper Mache is one of my favorite songs that I’ve mixed in my career. If you aren’t familiar with Masai Bey, there is no greater time then now to change that.
