At first the idea of the Plantlife vocalist/producer Jack Splash spitting instead of serenading sounded a little unnecessary, but if “Rick James (Nasty With The Bass),” and the whole Heir To The Throne tape really, is any indication of what’s to come…damn. I need music to genuinely look forward to and be entertained by and Jack does just that.

“Rick James” is loaded with references like “Nasty with the bass/keep my girls locked up wearing lace” all strung together to make a detailed but enjoyable tribute song. Mr. Splash is definitely paving a lane of his own with this solo project, and while it’s not MC’ing in the Black Thought sense, he has the ear and uninhibited creativity to push the boundaries. If nothing else you know the music is going to bang, because whatever we might think of Jack vocally he is that and a million times more behind the boards.

On a side note, did Rick James have a part in Pet Sounds?
