The chops work! Soulful, funky, with soft but suitable percussion and am I imagining it or is there a vinyl crackle all the way through too... maybe the hi-hats have a similar tone, can't say for sure.
I'd love to hear this used for an original song, even if the vocals/samples are maybe a bit too defined and constant for that. Feels like a session more so than a complete body of work like this, but that ain't a bad thing either.
Really dope work. The chops are just perfect. Great sample choice too.
