Prancehall’s Bass Odyssey, Part 25
- story THE FADER
Either by very clever engineering, or (more likely) because they bought the cheapest possible CD-Rs they could get their hands on, the copy I was sent of the new Roll Deep album, Return of the Big Money Sound, cannot be imported to my iTunes. It skips and dances around in my CD drive like a little mouse having a fit while being electrocuted.
I had planned to sit back, crack open a three-pack of Ribena, add a few pithy comments here and there, and let the music do the talking. But it looks like that won’t be happening now. Luckily, I already had one of the better songs off the album as an mp3, which you can listen to below:
Roll Deep, “Give Up”

Freeload: NERD, “Everyone Nose (Roll Deep Remix)”
- story THE FADER
Hold tight Pharrell! Hold tight Chad! Um…safe! That’s about as much UK slang as we can muster as a lead-in to this Roll Deep remix of the Star Trak snorter, spotted over at DJ Semtex’s blog. We don’t harbor any naive hope for future rap/grime collabs that this remix might lead to (peep the back issues if naive hope is what you’re after!) but come on guys, this is a co-branding no-brainer! Your shit isn’t called BBC for nothing! Alert the blog…

Video: Roll Deep, “Racist People”
- story THE FADER
We like Roll Deep and we don’t like racists, but there is absolutely no excuse for Scratchy’s top-tail in this video. NO EXCUSE. Also, the original version with Trim is way better. Hello? Is thing on? Grime lives.
