Well we have got a serious scorcher on the coals today equivalent to the insane heat we are having here in the north east of the US! Run RiOT has been ripping shit up as of late and this time he goes to work on Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip's "Great Britain". Dan and Scroobius are making some awesome music themselves, combining spoken word with dance music. Dan and David formed the duo in 2006 and broke through that same year with "Thou Shalt Always Kill". The tune was re-released in 2009 with additional backing vocals by Pos Plug Won of De La Soul. In 2008 they were signed to Sunday Best and released their debut album "Angles". Scroobius and Dan have also been on the BBC's "Sound" and here in the US on "Last Call w/ Carson Daily", which I never watch but I managed to catch the time they were on. Their second album "The Logic of Chance" was released in March of this year. They combine many genres like Hip Hop Electronica and Drum & Bass, with the only real consistent ingredients being Scroobius Pip's vocals and that it's electronic music. Scroobius' lyrics are not just candy coated crap and have meaning and require thought to process. He incorporates pertinent topics to our lives including violence, politics, and standing up for what's right. Hailing from the UK, his points may be more focused on his home country but they ring true here in the US and elsewhere. Imagine if the cats involved with the Revolutionary War were bumping "Stake a Claim" on their way to war! Flipping things around "Get Better" has an Indie Electro feel to it with a calming beat and soothing tunes while Scroobius speaks about kids raising kids and the mischief teens get into and the reasons for why that can happen. "Great Britain" is obviously about his home land and speaks about the violence among the youth. Originally it's more of a hip hop beat but RuN RiOT totally turns it into a club banger with mean ass bass, Tear-Out style edits and a healthy dose of acid. This is one of my favorite tunes we've had up for grabs so don't sleep on this one!! You can check out Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip performing "Great Britain" LIVE in the video below.
