Warzou meets DUPPY GUN (Accidental Meetings)

Even though it ushered in today’s lyrical slackness, I love 90s dancehall reggae. Unfortunately as with hip hop and soul the JA crew have gone for the money and the genre is now a shamelessly commercial shadow of its former self, so I was heartened to stumble across this EP from the ever great, largely Bandcamp lurking DUPPY GUN and the new to me Warzou.

Thankfully the lads keep it old school, enlisting four top drawer toasters to take us on a trip down memory lane. The riddims are proper hip worriers, the lyrics worth repeating and Warzou takes us on a back to the future trip down jungle memory lane too. Get your pipe out and slap a couple of arses, the good old bad old days of slack and crack are back.
