Was playing the 4 Hero / Scarface "Seen A Man Die" rmx and the missus pipes up "this sounds like Last Poets"
I say, you want to hear an actual Last Poet does jungle track?
Opening soundbite is from this Last Poets solo project Hustler's Convention by Lightnin' Rod aka Alafia Pudim aka Jalaluddin Mansur Nuriddin - soundbite located at 10.44 mins
I think the "Roll Out" version was my preferred mix by a whisker - but both Die & Size sides got played to def that almost-a-year we spent in Belsize Park in '94. Joy would have heard the bass rumblizm coming through the wall between our workspaces.
She recognised the tune instantly.
Such thick, dense, roiling, seething choppage! Moody, murky, maruading, menacing minimalism.
That near-year in Belsize started with this beaut, which was getting near-constant play on the pirates in wintry early months of '94
"that dream is over"
