With Battle, German outfit The Mighty Mocambos drop the bomb on anyone who’s been faking the funk lately and doubly ensure victory by enlisting a man who knows a thing or two about rap battles – Afrika Bambataa and his mates King Kamonzi and Charlie Funk. It’s a heavy funk and old school hip-hop twin assault! Good god – that’s not a battle it’s a massacre! Full-on, hands in the air, dancefloor carnage. You may be interested to know that Mocambos have an LP out called The Future Is Here and that this is the second track from that featuring the leader of the Zulu Nation and Soulsonic Force. Allegedly this was released yesterday but there appear to be delays with the vinyl. This is the millionth piece of wax I’ve been kept waiting for in the last twelve months so there clearly aren’t enough pressing plants on the planet. There’s a business opportunity there for someone…
