The Videos:

Ever wonder what classic Wu-Tang tracks would sound like with a live band? Truth & Soul have just put out selected live clips of the El Michels Affair performing with both Raekwon and Wu-Tang. El Michels Affair features a full horn section, and the results are amazing. Check out “C.R.E.A.M.” with a live Rhodes electric piano playing the hook.

Raekwon and El Michels Affair will be featured on the upcoming Fallin’ Off The Reel Vol. 2, which features rare soul reissues.

The Background:
When Soul Fire Records officially retired in 2004, Soul Fire house musicians Leon Michels and Jeff Silverman started their own label, Truth & Soul Records, which has now become a label and production house based out of Brooklyn, NY that specializes in creating deep funk and soul music. They have released a slew of 7″ and 12″ releases by bands such as El Michels Affair, Bronx River Parkway, Timothy McNealy, Quincy Bright, The Evil D’s, Lee Fields and The Expressions, The Fabulous Three, Cosmic Force, and Tyrone Ashley’s Funky Music Machine.

Fallin’ Off The Reel Vol. 2 will be released on on March 4th. Truth & Soul have been consistently releasing limited edition 45 singles never exceeding 2000 copies pressed. For the first time, those who don’t have a record player or simply missed out on these singles, will finally be able to hear these musical gems that have given Truth & Soul their impeccable reputation for quality music.
