Ruff Sqwad – Flee FM 2

After returning to the forefront last year with their unique spin of nostalgic genre-establishing riddims and flows, the Ruff Sqwad mandem are back with the second instalment to their pioneering album

The trio add to the success of their Flee FM movement, with Flee FM 2, another 7 tracks, featuring some new vibes and old Grime classics, kicking off with Xtra 2025, a sound many Grime fans new and old will be familiar with and what makes this project special is the fact that whilst some of us may be relishing the nostalgia, a lot of fans get to put names and faces to some of the most prominent sounds to have come out of England, that are being played at sets and raves still. Tracks like Freshers featuring Roll Deep’s Roachee, the Ghetts (formerly known as Ghetto) classic Top 3 Selected is remixed featuring the legendary D Double E. It’s Grime to it’s core, maintaining the high-tempo throughout, with Rapid stepping to the mic for Baileys Freestyle, Slix taking centre stage on Reason and Roachee joined by another legendary figure, Boy Better Know’s Frisco for Lentil Crisp, before introducing the young star RB on the last track Freestyle. Grime has come through stages of dub tapes, CDs, even sharing tracks via bluetooth prior to the YouTube era, and Flee FM gives you a sense of all those classic moments, they’ve really captured the natural essence of the pirate radio days but delivered in the streaming space, and with so much potential for the tracks and artists that can be reintroduced in this redefining format, this now serves as a solid foundation for Ruff Sqwad to continue to elevate Grime’s sound and culture.

Frisco – It’s Changed

While Skepta continues his dominance as one of the elite, with his BBK collective further establishing themselves as quite the force beyond music. One of the scene’s unsung heroes steps up to continue their elevation.

Those in the know, have no doubt about Frisco and his ability not just lyrically but flows too. The edgy emcee has one of the most legendary verses to ever come out of the country, and whilst most of his verses might go over the average listener’s head, despite his success thus far (not to mention his popular The Den live showcase), Big Fris might just be one of the game’s most underrated, so it’s great to see him step out with his new ting.

“Right through is where I’m cuttin’, treat this game like a meal and tuck in..”

Known for his hypnotic flow, the Boy Better Know bad boy reaffirms his stance as one of the scene’s best, with his lyrical acknowledgement of how far he has come. Whilst his flow cannot be questioned, his lyrics might go overlooked at times, “this year man gotta go harder..”, as if he ain’t been going in already, but it’s further emphasis of his intentions to continue taking strides, and not one to bite his tongue, for those really listening there’s more as he even shares his sentiments on the system with lil’ bars like, “fuck voting..they’re all the same”, he’s certainly coming of age and rightfully one of the premier voices in the game, so to hear more introspective rhymes is most definitely welcomed.

There is no denying that the crew have gone on to great things, so stay locked into Big Fris as he looks to help take things even further with his raw and distinct sound.

“They used to look at man different, you see how they look at man now blud…it’s changed!”

Boy Better Know – Goin’ In

Another monster anthem from the Grime collective:

Goin’ In features Skepta, JME, Frisco & Jammer, so you have four different styles and personalities over a literally crazy instrumental, this was not created with the intention of a musical masterpiece, it was created from a vibe, a vibe that takes over, this may not be played on radio, it might not be played in clubs (although I think it should), however throw it on before you head out to the club and you see how it gets your night started, the infectious guitar strings merge with Skepta’s comical intro which then turns into a vital harmony, each person brings their own charisma to the record, “The Rasta’s ready”, Jammer offers the hype element, Frisco brings solidity and the street feel, JME provides the quirky and witty lyrics, “I’m a big kid, like Benjamin Button”, this all blends with Skepta’s obvious presence to form a unified and versatile party track.

The track itself, as revealed by Skepta (exclusively to GrimeDaily) was created from a vibe in the studio where Skepta was messing about in the booth with the autotune on and Jammer was actually asleep, hence the, “I don’t beleive Jammer’s sleeping…”, I feel that this could be as big..if not bigger than their previous smash ‘Too Many Man’, with already over 50,000 views within a few days, the video (Directed by Scorcher and Staple House) captures the party vibe perfectly, with each feature playing out their role and visually offering the same energy as their vocals, featuring cameos from Badness, 13, Logan Sama and Little Dee, Goin’ In is set to gain Boy Better Know plenty more fans and recognition.

Goin’ In – available for Download on 14th December via iTunes

BBK ..They're "Goin' In"..

Frisco – Eyes On You

Frisco is back with a funky-inspired track.

With tracks like Kyla – Do You Mind and Egypt – In The Morning being played heavily across the UK club scene, Frisco joins Ruff Sqwad’s Dirty Danger in representing the guys.

Eyes On You, is a simple track, the concept is pretty simple and fully justifies the statement ‘less is more’, I can see this being a big success in clubs, Frisco is fully representing with this banger. More about feeling than content, this is something new and different from the Tottenham resident, but Frisco has always had a presence on track and this is no different, there is no over the top use of autotune, it is all done with simplicity and it comes of well, he is not singing completely, it is a good blend, the beat has elements of funky and grime embedded and that helps it fit in whilst standing out at the same time.
