HKB FiNN
Mummy's Little Soldier EP
Son 010 / June 1999
SON is proud to present the return to wax of one of the veteran innovators of the UK scene. Read all about him on the back of this press release, but in the meantime sit back and enjoy a treat.
AUDIO LOTION
FINN sets out his stall and opens you up for the return of the bad boy. Aided and abetted by his silky smooth co-rhymer, GIRL 7 (formerly Q-Tee), FINN leaves you in no doubt that he’s at the top of his form, as wordsmith and emcee. Over LIVE ONE’s rugged and atmospheric production, FINN drops wisdom on assorted topics, with the overriding message: f**k the hype, just feel the music...
LIAR LIAR (Chapter One)
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Liars’ Convention... On the floor we have surely the motliest selection of compulsive fibbers gathered together since Don King’s family reunion. WHITE CHILD RIX of GUNSHOT provides the perfect soundtrack to tonight’s gala performance, while fellow GUNSHOT crew member, the everready supercharged emcee ALKALINE makes sure the pace never flags between speakers. Stepping up alongside FINN are the infamous TASK FORCE emcees, CHESTER P and FARMA G, and completing the GUNSHOT trio, MERCURY who combine to deliver a reality check for all emcees who spend their careers talking bollox.
BAD ENOUGH
Dedicated to anyone who never thought before they larged it. An ominous funk groove provided courtesy of INSANE MACBETH sets the scene for some cautionary words of wisdom from the Man.
MIRACLES (REPAIR KIT)
Time to step into the sunshine. A warm, sinuous, funky production by FINN, this song is bursting with positive vibes and energy, and carries a message of inner strength effortlessly communicated by the natural combination of FINN’s deft, lively flow and singer J.B. ROSE’s heartwarming vocals. Makes it feel like a summer Sunday morning.
RETROSPECTIVE: UXB
For those of you fiending for a taste of that explosive KATCH 22 flavour, INSANE MACBETH once again brings it in a dark and fiendish way. Hyped-up beats and a sub-seismic rumble of a b-line mark the departure point for FINN to demonstrate he ain’t thrown the battle rhymes away just yet...
MUMMY’S LITTLE SOLDIER
A powerful piece of verse delivered with eloquence and passion, and a glimpse of a man with more on his mind than just the pursuit of props. A plan of action for mental self-defence. Listen.
