The fam at Bad Taste are about to release a monster. Sweet lord this is good. K Dot and Coco the UK’s best tandem (take that UK cyclists) destroy a monster of an instrumental by the Sheffield boys. Part grime, with bassline and lush tropical touches. Look out for it soon.

Even though i love living in London, sometimes it’s somewhat elitist music policies means that you never really hear anything further afield in the country. Oh we love anything that comes from further afield but outside zone 7 it’s an issue. Thankfully homie Murlo passed on this slice of bassline/grime from Sheffield’s grime Mc’s Coco and K Dot. It’s out on Bad Taste records soon.
