Ya wanna know what Justin Timberlake is gonna look like in 15 years? Then, visit Sepalot's Myspace page! Seriously though, Sepalot is a German producer who comes proper on his latest album, "Red Handed", a funky mix that rides back and forth between "head-nod worthy" Hip Hop and smoothed-out Soul.

Most notable is the album's selection of guest MCs and vocalists. Seaplot locks down the Hip Hop vibe with some very legit U.S. rappers, including Detroit's Frank-N-Dank (Frank Nitty and Dankery Harv) and NYC's Saigon. Frank-N-Dank are most notable for their work with the late, great J Dilla (R.I.P.), and Saigon has been making some noise lately in NYC with the likes of Swizz Beats, Kardinal Offishall and Just-Blaze.

On the soul side of things, the guest vocalists are just as talented and intriguing. They range from Washington DC's OlivierDaySoul to New Zealand's Ladi6.

Notable tracks include: the club worthy "Go Get It" featuring Ladi6; "Liquid Embrace", a smooth, slow-grinding tune that features Esther; and "Blow", a grittier Hip Hop track featuring Frank Nitty.

To sum up, if you're looking for some really grimy street-level hip hop, this album is not for you. If you're looking for a seductive and deeply soulful album, then this album is not for you, but if you're looking for something fun and funky then check it out!
