Style 43

Ooooh, more YNR ish is it? More dopeness from the camp who have already brought us Jyager and “Feeding Time at the Zoo”, this year alone, and hold down a residency at Jazz Cafe? Damn straight it is. This time it’s the turn of everyone’s favourite working class dad, Micall Parknsun, who brings with him his new single, “All 4 Hip Hop” (and some fresh Nikes).

This will be the debut single from his sophomore album, “First Second Time Around”, which is due to drop ’shortly’ according to the PR blurb. The single features two tunes, the title track and another one called, “Still Here”. There are also a couple of remixes thrown in as standard, but unlike some of the pointless rehashes you get these days, these ones actually give a whole different slant to the originals.

The title track is a lovely little beat, courtesy of Aussie producer M-Phazes (Cl Smooth, Elzhi and Royce 5′9). And what a beat it is too! Some thumping, speaker bumping, summer anthem business that gives the perfect canvas for Parky’s lyrical brush strokes. His distinctive tones and flows are undeniably dope and seem to be able to ride any beat he gets given, without having to vary his style much at all. The remix throws a whole new mood into the mix and mutates the summer vibe into a dank and dirty number, that has that undeniable Jehst sound. A true boom bap track can be found on the B-side, from the production power of Apa-Tight and the Chemo remix needs to be heard for the madness of the percussion alone.

“All 4 Hip Hop” is out on 6 July and check the site for no doubt more YNR quality produce.
