(42) Handsome Boy Modeling School :: The Truth

Handsome Boy Modeling School :: The Truth

Handsome Boy Modeling School is a collaborative concept project between Dan the Automater and Prince Paul. Both fantastic producers.

This particular track includes Róisín Murphy (of Moloko) on vocals and J-Live with a brief interlude.

Murphy's Vocals are amazing and are a nice departure from her standard electronica-styled music.

J-Live kills his 30 seconds worth of rapping. Just as impressive are the live versions at Róisín Murphy's concerts where she does J-Live's rap.

Handsome Boy Modeling School has worked with several amazing artists: Jack Johnson, The RZA, Sean Lennon, Mike D, and Del the Funky Homosapien ... just to name a few.

Their first concept album was 'So... How's Your Girl' and their second was titled 'White People'.

Unfortunately it looks as if "business conflicts" have caused Prince Paul to retire from working on Handsome Boy Modeling School. Hopefully these conflicts can be resolved in the future, because these albums are some of the best collaborations I've ever heard!
