There’s been a lot of releases flying about these past few weeks but today we something different, as members Rage and Lexman from Grime’s very own mafia drop ‘The Arrival EP’. Now don’t get it twisted we’re not talking about a bunch of Italian gangsters sitting round eating pasta here, we’re talking about the Slew Dem Mafia, one of Grime’s most legendary crews, so you know that you can expect nothing less than straight up greaze on this release.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from either one of these MCs, with Rage releasing ‘Streets Of Rage Vol.2′ last summer and Lex dropping his ‘Appetiser EP’ a little while afterwards, however anyone that knows about Grime will certainly know about Slew Dem, so for many this unexpected release is a real treat for all the true Grime fans out there. The only thing that could of possibly let this release down would be the beats featured on it, but since the duo have teamed up with G Tank, a producer with a countless amount of hits under his belt, already you know that there is no chance of that happening.
To read the rest of the interview visit the site below, along with the purchase links for 'The Arrival EP'.Last week we caught up with Rage and had a quick chat about the release and what he’s been up to which you can read below.
It’s been while since the release of ‘Streets Of Rage Vol.2′, what have you been up to since then?
Since then I’ve just been working hard behind the scenes really, me and Lex have both been in studio a lot working on new material.
It’s safe to say we’ll hear more from you both over the course of the year then?
Yeah definitely, this EP is just the start of it. I’m currently working on ‘Streets Of Rage Vol.3′ as we speak, but before that comes out I’ve got a Rap release that I’m going to be dropping as a free download. Lex has also got two mixtapes he’s working on right now, one Grime and one Rap, that are going to be dropping one after the other.
