专辑简介

FINALLY, FOUR YEARS FOLLOWING THE “BANK ON IT” ALBUM,

THE LONG AWAITED “USOCIATED” ALBUM HAS ARRIVED. DURING THEIR FOUR YEAR ABSENCE, UCE DUCE HAD VENTURED IN THE “BEHIND THE SCENES” ASPECT OF RECORDING MUSIC. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF ONE OF THE MOST CREDITED BAY AREA PRODUCERS, PONTI JESSOP AKA SWAMPKAT AND HIS BROTHER, ALSO A CREDITED PRODUCER GLEN JESSOP AKA ONATURAL, UCE DUCE TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE OF PRODUCING MUSIC ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF BOOKING STUDIO TIME. PURCHASING STUDIO EQUIPMENT PIECE BY PIECE, UCE DUCE SLOWLY LEARNED WHAT IT TOOK TO PRODUCE AND ENGINEER. BY OBSERVING COUNTLESS “SIT-IN” SESSIONS WITH SWAMPKAT AND ONATURAL, UCE DUCE APPLIED WHAT WAS TAUGHT BY THE JESSOP BROTHERS INTO THE USOCIATED ALBUM. THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY ALBUMS TO COME IN WHICH UCE DUCE PRODUCED AND MIXED ON THEIR OWN. WITH SPECIAL GUEST FEATURES LIKE DRUNK N LUNGE, TIMSU, PISTALLION, JUICE, ILL CHILD, OASIS, LIONESS AND THE SAMOXIKINZ, UCE DUCE TITLED THE ALBUM “USOCIATED” AS A MEANS TO CONTINUE THEIR QUEST TO UNITE ALL POLYNESIAN ARTISTS WITH USO LOVE AND SUPPORT.
