Instrumental LP: Clutchy Hopkins - Music Is My Medicine

I love Hip-Hop lore....Ya know, stuff of legend that only underground and real heads would prolly know about....Like rare LP's that were insanely good, but heavily slept on, or certain joints that producer's claimed production rights too, but in actuality they were ghost produced by someone else....I think secret recording aliases like this Clutchy Hopkins character also fit right into that mold as well....The mystery behind Clutchy is steep and this is all they know of him so far:

Clutchy Hopkins is a multi-instrumentalist who recorded under various pseudonyms throughout his entire musical career; his recorded output consists of everything from field recordings of his travels to avant compositions, to jazz to funk. These recordings were up to this point unknown to the public. His father had been a recording engineer for Motown bands and had taught him intricate recording techniques when he was just a young boy. This knowledge Clutchy used to his advantage during his travels, working in recording studios from Bombay to Cairo. The information we gathered of him was from a small biographical manuscript that was found with his recordings under the care of a Mohave shaman who was a descendant of the Cahuilla Indian tribe who Clutchy had studied under. In this autobiography we find the writings of a musical gypsy who traveled the world investigating consciousness and its relation to music.

....Continuing to add to his ever growing musical puzzle, Clutchy returns with "Music Is My Medicine", his newest Instrumental LP that is way too funky, way too good to be ignored....From Jazz to dub step, this effort is guaranteed to cover the bases instrumentally....take off your Hip-Hop hat and put on your music lover cap, and get lost in the superb arrangement and abstract feel of this mysterious music maker's innate talent to make your head nod and formulate your own theory on just who he may be....
