Who Knew Grime Bars And '80s Instrumentals Would Fit Together So Well?


March 13, 2019

You may not have known you needed it until now, but illustrator, designer and former Boiler Room art director, Mason London — who most recently provided the cover art for Idris Elba, Stefflon Don, Wiley and Sean Paul's track "Boasty" — has dropped a 34-minute mixtape reworking old-school grime bars over '70s and '80s tracks.

Taking audio clips from 2004's Lord Of The Decks 2, the tape features vocals from legends such as Jme, Skepta, Wiley, Ghetts, President T, D Double and more, and includes well-loved tracks like "That's Not Me" and "Don't Phone Me".

Check out the mixtape below.
