Something for the backpackers. We got this a little while back, but our inbox is always pretty full so we don’t always get to everything straight away-but this is a tight track from Miami native Checkmate The Gr8. It’s got a smooth beat, and the scratching’s used in the right way. Dude’s got a lot of potential and I’d be interested to see where he’s going to go from here. It sounds like it’s straight from the Miami suburbs and ithe horn section of the track would sit happily at home on an early 90’s film soundtrack, i.e Boyz N The Hood. The track is from his recently released album ‘Ape Shit 2’ which came out late September.
For fans of Tupac, Trek Life and early 90’s coast hip-hop (south and west)
