Def Jef – Soul Food (1991) (CD) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Def Jef followed up Just a Poet With Soul with the equally likable Soul Food, which regrettably didn’t bring the underexposed L.A.-based rapper the commercial success he deserved. The CD’s more sociopolitical songs are also its best, including “Get Up 4 the Get Down,” “Don’t Sleep (Open Your Eyes)” and the reggae-Influenced “Voice of a New Generation.” But Jef is also quite enjoyable on more escapist tunes like “Cali’s All That” (a duet with Tone Loc), “Fa Sho Shot” (which samples L.T.D.’s 1977 hit “Back In Love Again”), and the single “Here We Go Again.” Jef may have been “coolin’ in Cali,” but Soul Food is a very East Coast-sounding disc illustrating the fact that the MC never forgot his New York upbringing.
