Its fair to say that Toddla T, hasn’t been the luckiest man in the music industry in the past months: for one his acclaimed second album; "Watch Me Dance" was leaked months before release. Secondly, the release date had to be held back due to his finished stock being destroyed in the PIAS warehouse fire, during the London riots.
However, he has taken on dancehall singer; Wayne Marshall to take vocal duty on his latest single. Injecting a strong Jamaican reggae vibe into the track, alongside the mixture of electro, dub and hip-hop in the backing instrumentation. Lyrically purveying a bitter attack unto the government and corrupt authorities. Hopefully Marshall's philospohical yet perturbing sense of revolution and flippant outbursts wont provoke another riot.
Either way, Toddla T mixes the noted musical styles very well, and will most
probably be the next big thing in British dance music.
