The brainchild of Aries and Jacky Murda, the vocalist jewel in this eight-track skank-packed crown is Mr Williamz, an instantly distinctive vocalist who flexes perfectly over a 170 jungle riddim.
You just can’t beat a bit of Ragga Jungle!
‘Wanted – Murder We Charge For’ is a brilliant 8 track release, filled with feel good vibes and infectious rhythms. In a day and age where precision engineering of tunes seems to take priority, it is nice to return to the roots of the music every once in a while, and this exemplifys that point.
Covering all manner of topics, with wit in abundance (“sometimes you have to fly pon ryanair” in particular strikes a satirically amusing chord!) and backed by archetypal ragga jungle chopped breaks and stomach churning subs, this really shows that reggae influenced drum & bass could quite easily have a renaissance should more artists choose to take up the baton. Obviously there are artists that delve into the sound, but it is particularly refreshing to see a whole LP dedicated to it.
With nods left right and centre to classic reggae cuts, (for instance Wanted’s take on the sleng teng riddim) Aries and Jacky Murda have really done the EP justice with their work on the production front. Mr. Williams heads up the vocals across all the tracks, whilst Top Cat, King Kong and Dennis Brown all feature in part. The combination pull out all the stops in order to put some of the fun back into Drum & Bass, something that at times seems to be lacking.
