"En Los Campos", my solo release, is full of suprise guests but none that has momre noteraity than Shock-G (Humpty Hump) from Digital Underground. I debuted the song years ago on garageband.com and most people thought the Shock-G and Humpty tracks were samples that I jacked from somewhere. I can assure you those vocals are 100% legit.
Years ago I played in a band called Stucky with Matt Brein who now plays with Mike Pinto. While we were on tour we had a cancellation in Sacramento and Matt somehow got us on the bill with Spearhead up in Chico. We drove to Chico, played the show and the promoter was totally stoked. From this performance he got us on a show at Ceasers in Tahoe with Digital Underground the next week.
The Ceasers show was kind of a bust, but Shock-G took a liking to the band and we forged somewhat of a friendship back then. Months later we ran into Shock in Tucson while he was animating his website holed up at the Hotel Congress. We had some drinks and decided to go to my studio and record a track. We hung out all night, wrote all the lyrics down and then Shock just flowed for about 2 hours. I never produced the song until recently and I love what came out. I sat on that thing for years.
