Question 19: The single “Clint Eastwood” has a reggae rap feel to it, kind of Augustus Pablo meets Melle Mel. Do you think that psycho geographically the record’s located between North and South America...maybe like Costa Rica perhaps or Aruba in the Southern Caribbean maybe?

Russel: Well, Augustus Pablo’s bass player, Junior Dan, jammed with Murdoc on that track! And 2-D added that solid reggae vibe on his Suzuki Omnichord. The rap y’all know was provided by my dear-departed high school pal, Del, whose spirit now lives inside of me.

Notes under the cut:

Augustus Pablo was a Jamaican reggae and dub music producer who is well-known for playing the melodica [another one of Damon/2-D’s instruments of choice]. He is also listed as one of 2-D’s musical influences in The Rise of the Ogre.

Junior Dan is credited as the IRL bass player for many of the self-titled’s tracks, including:

Re-Hash

Man Research (Clapper)

Sound Check (Gravity)

Double Bass

Rock the House

19-2000

Latin Simone (¿Que Pasa Contigo?)

Starshine

Slow Country

M1 A1

He also played bass for many of the Phase 1 live shows and on G-Sides and The Now Now for these tracks:

Dracula

The Sounder

Hip Albatross

Sorcererz

Melle Mel (otherwise known as Grandmaster Melle Mel) was the lead vocalist and songwriter of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. He still raps and sings today.

I’m not sure what exact model 2-D had, but this is what the Suzuki Omnichord generally looks like:
