      Ohio-based producer Leroi Conroy finally steps into the spotlight with his debut LP after years behind the scenes running Colemine Records and producing for others. Drawing heavily from golden-age hip-hop textures and 60s/70s film scores, this instrumental release imagines a parallel Jungle Book narrative, flipping the script on man vs. nature. Tracks like 'Shere's Theme' and 'Snowcat' evoke that blunted, cinematic mood, full of Hammond organ swells, vibraphone motifs and dusty Tascam tape grit. Elsewhere, wah-soaked guitar and lo-fi drums lock into grooves tailor-made for sampling. Contributions from Kelly Finnigan and Jimmy James reinforce the familial Colemine vibe, but it's Rob Houk's drumming that anchors the record throughout. Having previously been sampled by DJ Premier and Raekwon, Conroy now serves a full suite of material for beatmakers and soundtrack heads alike. It's a cohesive, dramatic record that bridges funk, soul and hip-hop, packed with storytelling and smoked-out rhythm. Expect these tracks to live on through samplers for years to come.
