Inside The Album: Statik Selektah's "100 Proof: The Hangover"

It's been a pretty slow year so far for hip-hop albums, but luckily next week (February 2) Statik Selektah is dropping one of 2010's first dope LPs, 100 Proof: The Hangover. The third album from the New England native features an impressive roster of guest artists like Bun B, Sean Price, Fashawn, Consequence, Smif-N-Wessun, Talib Kweli, Red Cafe, Lil Fame, and many more. But all-star lineup aside, the album's most impressive feature is the sample-heavy music, made entirely by Statik, who has quietly become one of the industry's most reliable beatmakers. To find out how the decidedly darker sound came together, Complex visited Statik's home studio in Brooklyn and asked him to break down each song off 100 Proof, track-by-track. Listen to the leaks and read Statik's commentary below...
