In this week's show we drop dancehall-flavoured hip hop and soul in the first 30 (courtesy of MIxpak, Swing Ting et al); give you an all out verbal assault of straight swangin' rap, spoken word, grime and ice-cold minimalism from Visionist in the second 30; the third 30 touches on a few dub, electronic and brazilian bruk riddims (Fortune, JLIN, So Shifty, Altered Natives) before bringing the head nod heat of Dabrye, J Dilla, FlyLo…the final 30 twists and flips from ragga hip-hop to a Missy Elliott classic to leftfield synth explorations to cut-up soul riddims from the man like Spooky. Ease back!
