So there’s been all that Mako & Mr Bristow action in the last year or two but what has been up with Mako & The Hawk, you might have wondered. Well, wonder no longer – the pair who sound a bit like a 1970s cop show are back with a double A-side wax 45 of all-original, sample-based, party-friendly, throwback boom-bap with their emcee homie Chima Anya on the mic. That’ll be The Devil Made Me Do It and Strut Your Stuff then – a pair of block-rocking jams to turn any party out! The first of two videos (both helmed by Marcus Way) has already leaked – see below. The second is being held back because it’s ‘a bit special.’
