This Is How It Should Be Done Volume 1 hits a sweet spot with 12 tracks from various Cold Busted artists, a funk and hip hop inspired instrumental album to savor.
"Change Ya" from ES-K begins with warm analog cracks, a sweet female vocal and steady essential beat at about 88BPM, lively with bass notes and percussions.
"All Night" by Slabofmisuse features a sweet melody looped aptly, a crisp snare, and a soulful vocal sample, a tune with contagious cadence and rhythm.
Poldoore's "But I Do" uses clever production, slight beat repeats with soulful organ, sincere vocals, weighty drum breaks and sweet electric guitar notes.
"Down With the Discount" from Vitamin D draws upon a nostalgic grooving drum beat and party melody with piano notes, percussions and infectious rhythm.
"The Bare Knuckle Grind" comes from Green Street with soulful organ keys holding down a wicked solo, dope drums, funky horns and fresh MC samples.
"Funky Shit" from LoopMaffia draws you in with hand drums and into a seriously funky drop of drums, rumbling round bass, acoustic riffs, jazzy flute piping and horn builds.
"Rastas Funky Well" is another funky tune with old school Rasta samples, a jazzy flute, talkative guitar, gentle organ keys, staccato horns and groovy beat from mister T.
