It's rare that I can enjoy some UK hip hop...I admit, I'm that asshole American, that just can't get past the accents. But a few weeks back I stumbled over the Yankee Rmx of "The Heat", Which is fucking awesome. Now here is the EP, which I find myself liking a lot...which is out the ordinary for me.
A creative experiment between two of the UK's leading emerging hip-hop labels, 'The Highball EP' was created over the space of one single hazy night and day in a darkened studio. The resulting six tracker, plus 3 remixes, features the coming together of various musical and rhyming styles into a batch of heaters to please the hip-hop heads out there.
Featuring production from some of the UK's finest in AssociatedMinds' Metabeats, P.L.O. and Beatbox Fozzy and Eatgood's own Kelakovski. There are also two production remixes from close friends of the labels and production maestro's, Dockmini & Myke Forte. Meanwhile the jam packed mic duties are handled by EG's Sonnyjim, Kosyne, RTKal, Taharka & Redbeard and AM's Mudmowth, Ralph Rip Sh*t, Ruffstylz, P.L.O., Metabeats & Willo Wispa.
'The Highball's track list ranges through the unadulterated onslaught of P.L.O.'s 'The Heat', the irresistible swing of Metabeats 'The Snap', the traditional boom bap of 'Daily Routine' to Kelakovski's West Coast blap in 'Babs Windsor', through to the left-field rattling of 'Phazer' through to the new-school-beatbox powered finale of 'The Highball'.
The EP also features the previously released and well received 'US Language' Remix of 'The Heat' featuring three of Philadelphia's finest in Mello Music Group's Has-Lo and Three Dollar Pistol Music's Zilla Rocca and Curly Castro on the 'US Language' Remix of 'The Heat'.
We hope you enjoy it. We did making it.
