Rascals - Ape
I love the beat on this track! I first heard it on Zane Lowe's show. In the UK it feels like we have a hierachy on the progression to Tinie Tempah like mainstream acceptance. 1. Mixtapes/online 2. 1XTRA/YouTube/Channel AKA. 3. Zane Lowe. 4. Daytime.
So Rascals are on stage 3 now. Will they reach stage 4. The great thing about UK rap now is that the possibilities of them crossing over is a lot higher now. Even with a track that sounds quite underground. There is a bounce to this track that is really addictive and all 4 MC's have that youthful swagger and arrogance to their flow and delivery. It's going to be interesting to see if they will be the next UK rappers to cross over into the mainstream...
