The Witzard

You can do it, if you put your back into it: The Allergies and frequent collaborator Andy Cooper are back at it once again with yet another prime slice of funky Hip-Hop, topping off a fine 2021 with a final chance to get "stoopid fresh" from their recent 6 Music Album of The Day, Promised Land. Riding a super-slick double-bass groove and neck-snapping drums, LA Hip-Hop legend Cooper flips fearsome Rap styles, pitching his case as the ultimate go-to gun-for-hire emcee. It clinches B-side banger status as the flipside to "Going to The Party" featuring Lyrics Born, available as a 7-inch sureshot purchase in early 2022. On their latest full-length, producers Rackabeat & DJ Moneyshot dig deep into their souls, as well as their record collections.

Andy "The Undertaker" Cooper (CREDIT: Miff Morris) Andy Cooper is an actual factual skilled (never) ill-willed hyper-fast rhyming emcee originally hailing from North Carolina, who now calls Long Beach, California home.

"I asked AndyPuppet to appear in the "Rock Rock" video and to be honest, I found him far more entertaining than myself," Long Beach rapper-producer Andy Cooper replied when The Witzard asked where his inspiration for "Do The AndyPuppet" came from. "Since that point, I've featured him in a few other videos and it's pretty obvious that he's a natural super-star, so I decided it would be smart to acknowledge his greatness with a track. If you listen to "layers upon layers" (the LP mega-mix) you can hear AP make his microphone debut, as he and I cover [ Masta Ace 's] Rap classic, "Me & The Biz"' Cooper enthusiastically continued. I first got acquainted with Andy 's music late last year, when Flea Market Funk premiered BlabberMouf -assisted "Here Comes Another One" from his then-unreleased album, the layered effect .
