Raw-T- Classic or Dud?

Get the actual Section 25 masters to LTM, would ya?

What little I've heard sounded pretty spiff.

I really like the new single.

As in the hiphopcolumnin DJ Magazine.

Raw-T
Where We Live
F4
****
So much shit about how, wow, grime’s made it to Manchester mostly writ by clueless dicks who’d get their nose run over if they sneezed beyond the North Circular. FFS – the idea that music exactly like what is now called grime hasn’t been made all around the country for the past two decades is just bollocks, and what we’re hearing on this fab little single from Tony Wilson’s new F4 imprint is simply the latest in a long line of great Manchester rap-acts (think Krispy 3 & RRA & Kaliphz & The Ruf and loads of others). ‘Where We Live’ has sick sick voices, a banging rhythmic slo-mo/hypespeed puzzle at it’s heart and some of the most heartbreaking string-loops you’ve heard since Martin Hannett and Durutti Column. On the flip ‘I Bet You Didn’t Expect This’ is breakneck rhyme-science that fizzes and bleeps with dazzling detail and gurgling testubes, whilst ‘Starlight’ closes out a storming 12 with doom-etched electro-bass, scarifying peripheral noise and harsh beats like an updated Yargo or Guy Called Gerald. Unforgiving, compelling Manc music. S’like the Hulme Kitchen never shut down. Superb.

So imho classic so far.

"Starlight" is the best of the three, it's so so good.

would those guy called gerald refs make it into that review if raw-t werent from manchester? i doubt it cos i dont hear anything like that in where we live. its a nice link to make though.

it is brilliant though.
