UK KARTEL
No Doubt EP
Son 004 / Sep 1998
Nextcomers on SON, UK Kartel deliver an EP of nuff ruff diamonds. Straight outta nowhere, one listen confirms that this crew know what they’re about. Man behind the boards, DEADBEAT, comes with the beats tight as any piece of transatlantic plastic. Lyrical bruiserweight, SHADO steps in and simply rips it, UK Yakuza-style.
NO DOUBT
The ruff/the smooth: SHADO goes head to head with MECA, Kartel’s very own sista with voice, and drops the lyrical lowdown on day to day runnings.
THE B.U.R.Y.
The rugged: shy and retiring homebody SHADO decides its time to go for his, and throws the gauntlet down to all UK emcees who don’t measure up. What’s it stand for? Is it true? Listen and find out.
UK YAKUZA
The raw: for those who like their shit like sushi. A non-stop 4 minute flex inna proppa London style. Nuff said.
