Tune. Hype is such a great producer. Especially with the MCs. Rinse Out, Roll the Beats, Peace Love & Unity. All stand up today.
On that theme, I stumbled across this while looking through records last night and ended listening to it a few times and it’s stuck in my mind.
A bit odd - seems like there are four tunes on one record (this being one of them) that are all exclusives, the other plate is basically a compilation of some big tunes, like Thunder and Bukem’s ‘Music’. I guess the tactic was to try and promote the exclusives off the back of the big tunes. Not sure how well that worked as I’m not sure they’re revered, but there is something about this one. The sort of MC rap sounds very of its time, but I weirdly like it.
I’m going to tap up my mate Ornsman on this for more info - there are a couple of mixes on my page where we go back to back. Haven’t seen him in years and was supposed to be meeting up at the Clash Mouth record fayre in Waterloo this very weekend.
His essay about Lazerdrome in Peckham is well worth anyone’s time: https://www.hardscore.com/articles/lazerdrome/
