An EDM/hip-hop crossover by UK newcomer, F-Zero (aka The Frostman) sampling Whitney Houston‘s “So Emotional.” Better than I would have predicted!

[MP3] Throwback Thursday: London Posse – Freestyle [Janice Long Session – October 1987]

Long time readers know London Posse is probably my all-time favorite hip-hop group from the UK. I still rate Rodney P and Bionic more than most MCs coming from that side of the world even today. Hearing this freestyle, where they go raw dog over the “I Get Lifted” breakbeat, reminds me of how good they were and the roots of what hip-hop sued to be. Dig this? Listen to all three tracks from this session London Posse did for BBC Radio’s Janice Long back in 1987 HERE.

The homie, Grandtheft on this new hip-hop/EDM banger:

When I was last in LA in late August, Diplo loaned ETC!ETC! and I his studio to do werk. He had left us some stems to this wild club rap thing he produced “Trampoline” so we decided to load up these vocals and start to mess with em latenight. It was maddd late when we left the session. We had eaten all sorts of snacks. We were sleepy and didn’t really know if what we had done was any good lol. One of those collabs that may or may not have seen the light of day, u know? But, this last couple weeks, we revisited it.. and realized that this beat made us feel some type of way. Remotely, Toronto to LA, we got to polishing it up, getting a ridiculous verse from the Neon Icon… and bringing you this banger.
