Overview Of ‘Uptown Saturday Night’ Album
Camp Lo’s ‘Uptown Saturday Night’ album is an iconic hip-hop release that celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Released in 1997, the landmark project was produced by Ski Beatz and featured some of the biggest names in rap music at the time. The duo composed of Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede created a soundscape which blends classic boom bap with laid back soulful grooves – they are credited with pioneering what would later become known as “conscious” hip-hop.
The LP spawned such classic hits as “Luchini AKA This Is It” and “Coolie High” which remain fan favorites to this day and have been sampled on numerous occasions by artists across multiple genres. Musically, Camp Lo expertly blend elements from jazz, funk, reggae and R&B into their own unique concoction. Lyrically, the two MCs never shy away from tackling topics like self-love, consciousness raising & inner city life – themes which remain relevant today.
To commemorate this milestone achievement for their seminal album, Camp Lo has announced a nationwide tour dubbed the Uptown Saturday Night Anniversary Tour. Scheduled dates span throughout 2019 and will feature special guests including Talib Kweli & Skyzoo who join them onstage to perform songs from their respective catalogs as well as select cuts off Uptown Saturday Nights.
