Cookin' Soul
# Cookin' Soul

Cookin Soul is a Spanish producer-DJs duo known separately as Big Size and Zock. Producing work since around 2005, the two have developed a strong presence in the mixtape circuit in the US, according to El País.

## Critical response

The Guardian gave a project they did a mixed review, indicating that "some of the mash-ups work magnificently...but several needed more time spent on them" than the single night allocated to it by the trio. Also in 2008, MTV mentioned "Public Speeding", a mashup of Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement" and Coldplay's "High Speed", as an example of the "strangely compelling flow" of blending "worlds-apart sounds". In 2009, the trio released a tribute mixtape to Michael Jackson, with The Washington Post describing their blend of Jackson 5 and Lil Wayne on "I Want You Back" as "unexpectedly touching/weird." While the group's creation of Christmas themed rap album featuring MF DOOM known as DOOM XMAS is considered a staple mark of a holiday rap album amongst underground hip hop fans (DOOM's main audience)
