Lord Finesse - The SP 1200 Project: Sounds & Frequencies in Technicolor

NEW YORK - March 8, 2025 - PRLog -- Lord Finesse brings back the rich, layered, and warm sounds of '90s hip-hop on his new instrumental album, The SP1200 Project: Sounds & Frequencies in Technicolor. Across the 17 tracks on here, the Bronx native delivers an undeniably potent dose of sample-flipping boom-bap that's brimming with funk and soul.

Lord Finesse was inspired to put this project together after hearing how modern music tends to be so heavily compressed. "Sonically, a good amount of today's hip-hop music sounds like it's being played under a heavy quilt," he explains. "What that means is certain frequencies are buried, and they can't be felt or heard, destroying the vibe and energy of the production—no matter how good it is."

As a result, he began to dig into his own crates to uncover gems that he could share with the world. While some of the tracks were produced for his own albums or for other artists, Finesse also found some never-before-heard instros. Those previously unreleased beats were intended for the likes of Big L and Grand Puba, among others, but they instead found a home in his digital stash—until now.

Sounds & Frequencies in Technicolor is truly a feast for hip-hop heads with its neck-snapping drums and chopped-up samples. From one track to the next, your ears are treated to nostalgia-tinged sounds from a variety of genres. "Symphonic Collective" could very well be a leftover from Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man soundtrack, while "Electric Montage" covers Kool & The Gang's funkiest synths and bass with layers of grime. Other standouts include "Lo-Fi in Technicolor" and "Habits of Desperation."

The SP1200 Project: Sounds & Frequencies in Technicolor is available now digitally, and can be purchased on both CD and vinyl in multiple color variants via The Bossmen LLC / Underworld Label Group in partnership with Coalmine Records.
