“Take It Easy” is yet another DOPE classic from Brooklyn’s Brass Construction, a legendary factory of Funk.
Clocking in at a Battle-ready BPM, “Take It Easy” features dance breaks o’plenty. You’ve probably heard this at a Bboy jam or two, along with other DOPE cipher tracks from the funksters, such as “Movin“.
Some bio background from the Brass Construction website:
Signed in 1975 by internationally known pop artist and music industry veteran Sid Maurer and former Epic Records promotion man Fred Frank, they scored two Billboard Hot 100 entries in 1976 – the most successful being “Movin’,” which hit #14. They had much more success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, with nine chart entries, including “Movin’,” which hit #1.
Brass Construction has never been a band to fall back on past success…
That’s why during the past years it has claimed its share of gold and platinum albums. Now, there’s Reconstruction the group’s newest project. Ever since Brass Construction achieved international prominence with their platinum and Grammy nominated debut album the group has created one of the most distinctive sounds in contemporary music.
