Two Ruff Sqwad threads! I know, I know, but this lot are RED hot at the moment.
I was really disappointed by Guns and Roses Volume One, besides the stand-outs Move and Jam Pie (which has now been put out as a twelve) there was far too much mid-tempo hip-hop-ish stuff. About a couple of years ago I thought that was where Grime should go, well I was wrong....very wrong.
But since that time they've just put out a brace of complete classics: Bring It Down, Underground, Dont Trust. Loads of lovely sonic touches, the sawing sound of Dont Trust etc. Militant rapping. They're really delivering the goods now.
I see Ruff Sqwad as the Ying to Roll Deeps Yang. Theyre incredibly laid back, frosty cool compared to Roll Deep's atmosphere of total over-excitement (not dissing that obviously!).
