Look out, those dirty Mongrels Kid Acne and Benjamin have re-surfaced with vinyl 7″ Over-Eggin’ It backed with Shoot The Breeze on the flip. Yes, it’s another installment of that ol’ South Yorks uproar and they’ve only got Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson providing the hook on the former while Cappo and Juga-Naut juggle verses with Mr Acne on the latter. With Benjamin’s dirty-as-fuck drum

MONGRELS: Attack The Megalith (2017)
Attack The Megalith finds a stoned circle of producers taking up the remix ropes for last year’s underground hip-hop monolith – entitled er – Attack The Monolith, by Mongrels – a.k.a. Kid Acne, Benjamin and (more often than not) New Kingdom’s Sebash. Hashfinger, for example, sands a few of the rough edges off Full Moon for a more contemplative vibe, TPL’s Man From Atlantis goes

MONGRELS: Attack The Monolith (2016)
Back in the 90s, rapper Kid Acne and deejay Benjamin were Mongrels from South Yorks.

The pop wilderness of the title seems to be located

MONGRELS: You Dig Raps?/ Combat Divers 7″ (SCOTTY HARD remix) (2016) + video
You dig raps? Mongrels do. Who are Mongrels? Well, one half of them is none other than veteran Sheffield mic manipulator Kid Acne who you’ll be pleased to hear he’s still connecting “the dots by telekinesis” and “sticking to his guns like permanent adhesive” as he reminds us on You Dig Raps? which turns on a Tribe-ish jazz loop and a crusty old vintage funk break. He also holds forth
