Review by George Donnelly

Album Review: Da Mud Phunky Reel One by DJ OGS Released in 2017, Da Mud Phunky Reel One is a masterclass in blending nostalgia with raw hip-hop grit. Hailing from Canada, DJ OGS delivers an album that feels like flipping through the pages of a dusty crate-digger’s journal, filled with tracks spanning different eras and styles. The album sits comfortably within the realms of jazzy hip-hop, gangsta rap, boom bap, and conscious lyricism—a sonic cocktail that keeps listeners hooked. One standout track is "Searchin" (1994 Demo). It’s got this haunting piano loop layered over crisp drums that just slap. You can tell DJ OGS isn’t trying too hard here; he lets the beat breathe while sprinkling enough texture to make it memorable. What sticks out most is how unpolished yet deliberate it feels—like a demo tape you’d find buried in someone’s attic but end up playing on repeat. There's something oddly comforting about its imperfection. Another gem worth mentioning is "Ghetto State Of Mind" (1992 Demo). This one hits harder emotionally, diving into themes of struggle and resilience without getting preachy. The bassline groans beneath sharp snares, creating a soundscape that mirrors the weight of the lyrics. If you’re looking for authenticity, this cut serves it straight-up—no frills, no gimmicks. Tracks like these remind us why boom bap remains timeless. The production credits deserve a nod as well. With DJ OG-S handling the mix and Spek The Architek crafting the artwork, the project exudes cohesion. Even though it’s pieced together from demos recorded across multiple years, there’s a sense of unity throughout. Each song feels like a chapter in a larger story—one told through dusty samples and gritty beats. What makes Da Mud Phunky Reel One special isn’t just its sound, though. It’s the way it transports you back to a time when hip-hop was less about algorithms and more about soul. Listening to it feels like overhearing conversations between artists who were still figuring things out but doing so with passion and purpose. In the end, what struck me most wasn’t any single lyric or melody—it was the realization that albums like this don’t come around often anymore. In a world obsessed with streaming numbers and viral moments, Da Mud Phunky Reel One dares to exist purely for the love of the craft. And honestly? That’s kinda refreshing, innit?
