GWACHYAMINDSAY? / CODE RED featuring Sniper

There's something about UK artists that have been around for a while and gained experience, they always seem to drop tunes that get the head nodding rather than the wrists slitting. Former Most Dominant and Gutter Snypes member Cel One comes with two tunes that simply, blow you away, with two tracks produced by Prime Cuts. The first side is Whachyamindsay? an energetic beat that will move people off their arses and onto the dancefloor in any club, definitely a must for the car speakers. Cel drops excellent rhymes, as always completely faultless on the delivery and Prime Cuts production is awesome.

The flipside, 'Code Red' featuring Sniper (Prime Rhyme Master, Gutter Snypes) for me is the tune of 2005, it is absolutely awesome, ask anybody what 'REAL' hip hop should sound like and they'd be advised to play this tune. It's got the lot, big drums, cuts, breaks, Cel and Sniper bouncing lyrics off one another like only two emcee's that know each other well could do. Please, please, please add this to your collection, with this and the Dead Residents album 'Keep Britain Tidy' coming out this year it gives me great hope for hip hop on these shores, raw, unadulterated UK hip hop for the 'REAL' fans.
