12” Single Review
Don’t Interrupt – Jabbathakut
The first thing I have to say about this singles is, it took
me back. Back to the days when artists released a track over multiple formats
like cassette, CD, 7” and 12”, and back then a 12” could be just a single or a
remix or an Extended Play single (The E.P.).
So, what do you get on this single:
A Side:
Don’t Interrupt ft Dubbledge – Dirty, Clean &
Instrumental
B Side:
Can U Handle Me? Ft Dubbledge & Ziggy – Dirty &
Clean
Dazzling Display ft Grazzhoppa
The first thing to note is the reason this took me back is
that it was Jabbathakut’s first 12” single released back in 2005. So, This is
not a new release. But, i’ll tell ya one thing? It might as well be a new
release because it sounds as fresh now as it did then. In fact if you put this
up against some of the stuff that is out there, this is a damn sight fresher.
Production and Cuts from Jabbathakut are firmly on point and
bring you tunes that keep you rockin’ and show that he was then and is still at
the top of his game. Dubbledge brings his A game to the release with crisp
expert wordplay throughout.
Don’t Interrupt
is banger with a fun edge. You can listen, nod or groove to this but, one thing
you don’t do is interrupt when Dubbledge and Jabbathakut are rockin’ it.
Can you Handle Me?
Is a wicked funky tune that is type of tune that most definitely will have you
noddin’ along. You will definitely appreciate Dubbledge’s lyrics which again
have that comic edge and Ziggy’s tuneful chorus just tops of another wicked
Jabbathakut track.
Dazzling Display is one of those fun turntableist tracks that
almost every album had at one point. Just a small sample of the DJ’s talent on
the 1’s and 2’s, and here Jabbathakut bring’s in one of Europe’s best in
Grazzhoppa to rock the track with him. Side by side these two show why they are
still highly in demand 13 years later.
I totally recommend this to anyone out there. You can order
direct from Jabbathakut and if you ask real nice like, he will tag that shit up
for you giving you a one of a kind Jabbathakut single to play to your heart’s
content and then some.
So, you will need a record player or a turntable. If you
ain’t got one, for fuck’s sake go out and get one. This is Hip Hop how it’s supposed to sound. School is dismissed, you can
go now.
I’ll see you for the next review soon.
