Have you got the poison? Don’t worry, Krafty Kuts and Dynamite MC have got the remedy in the form of new single collab. entitled – er – The Remedy. It’s not the first time the pair have worked together nor even the second or third (though possibly the fourth) and finds Krafty supply a noughties boom-clap-style, bass heavy hip-hop beat over which Dyna rocks the mic. But

THE ALLERGIES: Lean On You feat. DYNAMITE MC/ Working On Me (Vinyl 7″) + video
Lean On You? Working On Me? If you sense a collaborative or even transactional theme emanating from the track titles of the new Allergies 45 maybe it’s a reflection of their lockdown year success. On the one hand, they provided musical joy when times were bleak while on the other, they were rewarded with A-list playlist inclusion on BBC Radio 6 and a number of

BAZZA RANKS feat. DYNAMITE MC: Vibes Master
New single Vibes Master sees Bazza Ranks and Dynamite MC hook up once more almost exactly a year since the last time the monkey posted about them – funnily enough – with Don’t Let It Pass. While that was a 45 though, this is a strickly digi-affair available in five different flavours including the original. Or at least their unremixed cover of a certain 90s anthem. This one’s all about the

ALEXANDER NORMAN feat. DYNAMITE MC: Flamingo
Decked out in shocking pink and spending the entire time cooling off in water and eating, no bird says summer quite like a flamingo. Which is probably why Alexander Norman named his new anthem for crazy nights and lazy days after it. Featuring UK mic veteran Dynamite MC (doing a more breezy turn than usual on the mic – perhaps because he’s donned his Adidas shelltoes and is on

BAZZA RANKS feat. DYNAMITE MC: Don’t Let It Pass (Vinyl 7″) + video
Next from Bazza Ranks is Don’t Let It Pass on which he hooks up veteran dancehall vocalist Dynamite MC with yet another bass-heavy bashment beat on vinyl 7″. This time it’s so that Dyna can hold forth about how frustrating it is when you’re in a circle and something isn’t passed to you quickly enough. Oh what – like a dutchie’? Sort of. More ‘the purple’ in this case. I wonder

BAZZA RANKS feat. DYNAMITE MC: Memories (Vinyl 7″)
Dynamite MC displays an elephant-like power of recall on Memories, the new one from Bazza Ranks which is essentially a irie dancehall pastiche of (and homage to) Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s classic early 90s boom-bap adventure T.R.O.Y. But what’s old Dyna reminiscing about from back in the day? ‘Marijuana’ – well, you sensed he might…’good times’ – glad to hear it…’knife crime’

KRAFTY KUTS & DYNAMITE MC feat. CHALI 2Na: It Ain’t My Fault (2017)
Rating:
If news of a third studio LP from Krafty Kuts fluffed your nuts at the end of last year, this new single featuring both Dynamite MC and Jurassic 5’s Chali 2Na is going to make you blow your load by setting the bar massively high for dancefloor boom-bap in 2017. It Ain’t My Fault bangs and let that be the last word on the subject. Oh – except to say that Krafty’s ‘Hands High’ 2017 tour featuring both emcees has been well under

LAPTOP FUNKERS: Ready To Rumble EP (2013)
“Do you cue beats on a sampler or a laptop?/ Do you make the head nod or the ass drop?” asked underground rap legend Dooley O once. We all know there can sometimes be a certain amount of elitism attached to making beats but clearly that cuts no ice with Laptop Funkers who like to rock out with their cocks out. Or rather funk out with their laptops out. There’s so little snobbery here in

KRAFTY KUTS: Get Up & Dance (2012) free download
Here you are – have a feel-good summer freebie courtesy of breakbeat assassin Krafty Kuts who takes it back to the old school if not quite back to Union Square (this being an all-UK affair) by enlisting the aid a man (Dynamite MC) as likely to be found aboard dancehall or drum n bass riddims as hip-hop. Get Up And Dance however is firmly in the 1989 school of party breaks –
