KELIS
BOSSY (THE SCUMFROG REMIXES)
JIVE

The slightly eccentric, milkshake drinking, knitting Kelis returns with the first single from her upcoming ‘Kelis Was Here’ album due in June. In its original mix ‘Bossy’ features rapper Too $hort and is a pure downbeat hip-hop jam made for America urban radio, but the devilishly talented Jesse Houk, under his Scumfrog protagonist guise, transform the down low into an essential dance jam that rides a riff from Chic’s perennial samplers favourite, ‘Chic Cheer’. The new house tempo perfectly suiting the afro centric singer’s wordy rhymes in much the same way Superchumbo first gave Missy Elliott a club edge.
