“Sheeba,” Down To Earth’s MUSICBLITZ Exclusive, opens with a tantalizingly melodic solo keyboard riff that’s deceptively sweet and innocent -- but don’t let that fool you! Before long, the phat, hip-hop inflected backing track kicks in, turning the track on its head with a down-tempo, but mad cool bass line. Front man Mookie Thornton waxes wicked, alternating between a smoothly sung bee-bop-ish chorus and a rap style that’s reminiscent of prime time Cypress Hill. But there’s more surprises in store; just as you get comfortable with the song’s deep-pocket groove, “Sheeba” takes another hard left, segueing into a bumpin’ dancehall reggae style. And it works! The toast boasts about the charms of some fine femme fatale, with loads of hip-hop slang and shibboleths. Reaching a rabid crescendo with metal guitars blazing, “Sheeba,” is that rare track that succeeds in being all things to all music fans -- from Rage to reggae!
