Basic Rhythm Announces New Grime Album As East Man


November 16, 2017

Red, White & Zero is the brand new album from East Man, formerly known as Anthoney Hart. Although best known for his work as Basic Rhythm and Imaginary Forces, this new raw material predates that, as he brings together an impressive group of grime MCs including Saint P, Killa P, Irah and Eklipse among others. East Man's unique take on grime strips the sound down to raw fundamentals, bringing in elements such as dancehall, D&B and techno, for something slightly different to conventional grime, a sound he calls 'Hi Tek'. 

The album is due on February 18 via Planet Mu and includes liner notes from academic and theorist Paul Gilroy. Take a look at the full tracklist below and, on the flip side, listen to the recently-released single "Look And Listen" with Darkos Strife.
