Album Review: DJ Yoda -- Breakfast Of Champions

Yoda seems like the type of guy who’d ask, “What does this button do?”

Never afraid to throw seemingly disparate sounds together, with scant regard for the consequences, the UK DJ/producer’s latest creation is a hip hop album, but not as most would know it. Under the rhymes of a clutch of English rappers, trappy hi-hats hiss at big bands and blues, hard club beats squeal like a pig for backwoods banjo, and ‘50s doo-wop is skewered with near-ravey breaks. Despite being intriguing and kinda fun, it has limited appeal.
