Editorial Reviews:

Hidden Beach Recordings is back with UNWRAPPED(tm) VOL. 5.0: The Collipark Café Sessions. After a long hiatus Hidden Beach has partnered with the blazing hot ColliPark Studios (Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris, Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon) for yet another jazzy, hit-packed collection of the best known hip hop and rap hits made popular by Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Jon, Ludacris, Young Jeezy & Akon and many more!

What began as an effort of Atlanta Producer Abdul Ra'oof to develop a themed project called "Crunk Jazz Café," Vol. 5.0, features ten smash hits Unwrapped(tm) plus one bonus track, including the energized lead track "Get Low" which alone fueled 2.5MM albums for Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, and the haunting melody of "Soul Survivor" by Young Jeezy feat. Akon - yielding over 1.8MM units sold. These songs are popular - appealing to a broad range of consumers both young and old. Fans of Unwrapped(tm) wont' be disappointed.

Special guest artists include Hidden Beach's own Mike Phillips, Jeff Bradshaw, and Peter Black; Series faves Karen Briggs and Jeff Lorber, plus legendary Trombonist Fred Wesley, and more.

Summary: Must Have
Comment: If you don't have any of the UnWrappedd editions you need to get them... If you like hip hop but not necessarily the words then its perfect for you.. All the latest hot songs you hear on the radio with the sassy hard beats infused with the sax, flute, and electric guitar.. I love this CD!!

Summary: What's Up
Comment: I was very disappointed with this Hidden Beach CD. I've collected each of the volumes previously and I must say I was disappointed with this one. Somehow it missed the flare of the previous works. Not that it had to be the same. When it comes to a 5th volume you come to expect a certain sound and quality. For me this one missed the mark!

Summary: Hidden Beach Recordings presents: Unwrapped Vol. 5 - Collipark Cafe Sessions
Comment: Did not enjoy this cd as much as Volume 1-4. If I had listened to this first, I would not have bought this item. I assumed b/c I enjoyed Volume 1-4, I thought this would be a great addition to the collection I had.

Summary: Smooth Jazz meets Hip-Hop
Comment: Hidden Beach's Unwrapped series is a nice jazz alternative to listening to the, sometimes inappropriate, lyrics of the original hip-hop/r&b versions of the songs. For anyone that loves smooth jazz with a generous helping of beats that are true to their hip-hop flavor, then the whole series is a must.

Volume 5 of this series is the best recording to date. This is the first one that I came across in the series, and afterwards I had to have all of them. After listening to this recording, I happily bought the first four recordings as a boxed set which was a great bargain. The beats will be familiar to anyone who listens to hip-hop and/or R&B, but the jazz expressions that make-up each song make a delicious and seamless blend of
smooth funkiness that will be as fresh as any contemporary jazz you'll find.

My 10-year-old boy, who exclaims his love for "rap" and distaste for jazz, even bounced his head to the beat and listened in anticipation to what Hidden Beach's jazz take on the next hip-hop song on the cd would be. And, the truth is, he still enjoys listening to this recording to this day. And you will too.
