Tune of the month
Compa feat Footsie 'No Hype' (CPA Records)
After a series of EPs for the likes of Deep Medi, Boka, Killa Sound and more since 2012, Compa is launching a new label with a murderous two-track plate. ‘No Hype’ featuring Footsie is our tip: a hoods-up, heads-down, grime-cum-dubstep onslaught that fires out the blocks from the first bar. The lurching beat, spiked with snare rolls and razor-sharp claps, isn’t particularly complex but provides the perfect foil for Footsie to roll back the years on mic. “What’s all the hyping for?”, he fires out on the hook. Proper!
