There is something burbling up in Brooklyn. Its one part straight island Rasta, one part BK brand Nubia and one part UK hoody culture. On Brooklyn Anthem, Team Shadetek managed to harness some of the Burrough’s most cantankerous beas and vocals for an explosive celebration of hybrid Black music. Featured on the tune is none other than Gize Burrows, aka 77Klash. Most famous for penning the unstoppable Skallawa riddim - Turbulence’s “Notorious” was the nearly ubiquitous hit of a couple summer’s ago that made the infectious, bass heavy backing track famous - 77Klash (pronounced Double-Seven Klash) is known for his unwillingness to play by Dancehall’s genre conventions. On Brooklyn Anthem, Klash and Noble Society’s Jahdan tear through a heavy, badman riddim replete with squelchy acid bass and spooky synthetic strings. 77Klash performs with Mighty Mystic, Paul Michael, Mardon Famous and Redbeard at Black Rep on Tuesday, July 8th as part of Providence Sound Session 2008.
