Splatter Vinyl Repress
On his first release for Deep Medi Musik this year, Commodo taps up JME for a mean lyrical flow over the top of a typically monstrous production, making a perfect dubstep / grime crossover track in the process. JME has a blast pointing back to classic reference points from Kano and Wiley and many more in his conscious MC turn, while Commodo’s beat prowls in the background with that exotic charm that has always marked out his style from the rest of the pack. There’s a hooky chorus and plenty of grand stabs, and for those who just want the tune the instrumental is bundled in as well. The fact that the beat stands up on its own without any trouble says a lot about Commodo’s studio prowess, which is no doubt why he continues to be a mainstay on Mala’s label.
