As a grime and funky producer, Famous Eno is one of the few to have truly mastered his craft, being able to effortlessly inject major energy into every tune he creates. This new project sees him team up with a number of vocalists to create some super energetic fire. We begin with the jumpy vocals of UNIIQU3 on 'Make It Clap', before Killa P gets busy over the rolling drum work of 'Longtime'. Next up, Bay-C provides some expert dancehall tastings on 'Gal A Bubble' along with Gafacci's carnival infused additions on 'Ranting'. We then finish up with Bryte's super funky vocal toppings on 'Money Collector' and the super stacked rally settings on 'Life', alongside Killa P, Trigganom, Sinjin Hawke & Zora Jones.

Booty Fruit's DJ Maars joins forces with newcomer Tom Showtime for some seriously delicious sound mash-ups for this EP. "Heatwave Episode" is a funked-out re-edit of Dr.Dre's and Snoop Dogg's infamous "The Next Episode", whilst "Hungry Busta" puts a real dancehall vibe over Busta Rhyme's inimitable vocal machine-gun bursts. "Rocksteady Up" re-fixes yet another early 2000's hip hop gem "Ante-Up", and "Champion Steez" goes all breakbeat/ska mode, introducing some rather rapacious Jamaican lyrics over that booty-shaking groove.

New Yorker-in-Vietnam Bluntskull returns to DDD with four more trademark Jamaican bass skank-ups. Smoke-stacked hip-hop heaters, each one swinging heavily on classic breakbeats, the whole EP is a cascade of classic samples and vocals, all laced together as if they were pristine originals. Highlights include the lo-fi subtleties of "Carnival" and the slow-rolling funk flow of "Raggamuffin Flow". Get to know.
