Stephen Jessup has done it again. This little known gay artist has
finally put out an album far more than merely noteworthy as LA Times
music critic Dilton Pharbs described him (methinks Dilton wished he
was on the receiving end of Stephen's thick phallus but is too coy to
come out.) Jessup's "Songs in the Key of Brown" is composed and
produced with his usual anal retentive mixing efforts yet this new
album has much less synthesizer on it and just the right amount of
sampled passing gas clips mixed in with a subtle touch.
Look at the second song on the album entitled "Spread my Legs and cut
Boiled eggs". The song takes you through a big city deli at lunch hour
complete with mixed in traffic sounds, white noise patron conversation
and Stephen's patented walk bys in which he passes gas on tables of
young New Yorkers too engrossed in themselves to notice Stephen's anal
releases. He is careful not to use his sampled fart noises too
frequently in his work. As an added bonus, each CD has a scratch and
sniff card inside the CD's booklet that you can scratch and sample
some of Stephen's butt hubris. Alan Parsons couldn't have mixed this
any better than Stephen has.
As if that isn't enough of a carrot, consider the guest appearance by
Chitlin Production's "Lil' Nigger" on track 4 which is entitled "Butt
Rap". Lil' Nigger raps a smooth joint while Stephen softly sings in
the background about a hook shaped turd. I can't say enough about this.
Go out and buy this.
