Label: M.O.G. Recordings

M.O.G. Recordings are proud to announce M.I.K.’s “Flushing MC’s” as the latest release from their growing catalogue of Grime must-haves.

While many of the scene’s artists are saving material up for 2012, M.I.K. intends to mark 2011 as his year for singles, so is set to unleash “Flushing MC’s” just ahead of the New Year.

Aside from massive collaborations with Discarda, Merky ACE and appearing on the massive J Beatz-produced “8 Bar Mucktion”, the Family Tree mic man has been inescapable on Grime radio waves, thanks to “Do It”, DPMO” and “Donny Don”. His latest single carries the same singalong vibe as the aforementioned tracks and is set to be just as unavoidable.

Equipped with his “venomous flow” M.I.K. bounces off a sample from Dizzee Rascal’s top 20 hit, “Fix Up, Look Sharp”, to create an anthem for cleaning up his competition. After dismissing claims of being a “New Wave” MC, the experienced spitter exemplifies his outlandish creativeness on the mic. This unconventional musicianship comes through with his beat choice too, as Asa goes outside the box for his original mix of the tune, before offering the guest remixers a chance to show what they’re about.

Beyond the original version, listeners are subjected to extravagant re-hashes of the song by Grime go-to-guys, Faze Miyake, Mr. Mitch and DJ Spooky.

When Faze Miyake gets a hold on the acappella, he enriches the track with skipping percussion and his signature dog howls. Mr. Mitch opposes it, by mellowing the track with a sparse asymmetric drum patterns, whilst upholding the raw feel the the original. Spooky, on the other hand, uses “Flushing MC’s” as a opportunity to blast his rugged production style onto a raucous lyrical outburst. Between the four producers, they channel M.I.’s Grime spirit into another out-and-out vibeser.

Look out “Flushing MC’s” on 28th December, which will drop along with its official video.
