Hip house lives on… In London. It was sort of inevitable though, right? It's a city where MCs have a long relationship with rave culture, where ragga vocalists would chat at jungle parties and rappers frequently jumped onto garage beats. And now, with this new influx of house music coming out of the city, it just seems natural that MCs would be featured on some of those grooves. Granted, most of the new MCs there are on the road rap tip - languid hood stories set to US trap-styled beats—but not everyone abandoned electronic dance music.Black Butter paired Scrufizer up with Marshall F, who reworked the rapper's "Kick It" into a Chicago house styled UK garage banger. Scru Face is no stranger to house music himself, though. The original tune is a 4x4 affair, and he was once part of the UK funky crew Funkystepz. Stream the "Kick It" remix exclusively on THUMP below, then buy it in October.
