Mr Benn – Police – Out Now!
Everyone’s favourite ragga hip hop skanker is back with another brilliant release on his very own Square One Sound label that’s sure to make your batty wind. Mr Benn has been buried in the studio, recording day and night in readiness for his debut album release later this year. As anticipation grows for the main event, he brings us a taste of things to come with his new single ‘Police’. A fusion of dancehall and hip hop, Mr Benn has bubbled up a stuttered riddim, horn led, low end theory for long time collaborator Blackout Ja to flow over in his inimitable style, creating a call to arms in response to the ever growing divide between the public and local constabulary.
UK’s Magic Fly comes correct with two remixes, both of which bring that boom bap, bass heavy style that bound to make your hands clap. Canadian beat smith Jpod turns it on it’s head, lacing the vocal with a broken beat, wonky dancehall riddim that sounds like nothing else you’ve heard. Both remain true to the original but give it fresh legs in the unique style of each remixer.
Released on limited 12″ slabs of wax and unlimited ones and zeros, it’s available now from all good record shops such as this one…
