Three remixes followed by two unreleased tracks and one gband konfession. The world is yours. U-King.

Announcing U King, from Apostle of Hustle. The cover of this EP depicts a King gazing impersonally outward. We instantly notice three anomalies. First, his hair has been allowed to ‘Fro out violently from under his crown, indicating a rebellion to what is expected from him. Second, he wields not a sceptre, but a giant bass guitar. Third, he “goes alone.” There are no tarot or playing card signs to tell us what suit he belongs to – only a number one. What to make of it?

The positive traits of the EP include: a storytellers knack for moving from the universal to the personal, themes of seduction and betrayal, the first AOH-penned Spanish song, a love song for Coco Rosie, a rare guitar solo, Cuban comedy from the 70’s, old-skool 808 beats from Miami, a re-make of one of Wayne Newton’s show-stoppers (including Liam from The Stills’s interstellar sax-playing), and an homage to the wisdom of the late Edward Said. There are no negative indications on this EP.
