Yeah yeah, everyone likes Ruff Sqwad productions, so what? Oh. Hold on, it's not only a completely justified opinion, it should be absoutely mandatory for every human being in the world to hear at least one in order to spread unbridled joy and a wonderful, furious energy - and the one most highly recommended this month...
Rapid feat. Tinchy Strider - Underground
Rapid's on the buttons once again and there's an exemplary performance from Strider on the vocals who uses my favourite 'grime-slang' word "NIPSY". But it's the production on this one that's the killer; presumably taking cues from Youngstar's 'Revival' (the instrumental used on 'Stand Up Tall'), Rapid digs out an old 2-Step beat, bangs on a five-note bassline, mixes it up with a one-bar vocal FX loop and creates absolute aural magic. It's Rapid OBE from now on thanks.
