i know this one from the react compilation "dope on plastic 8" which carries on the tradition of a multitude of funky grooves and breakbeat tracks. amongst the many quality tracks spread on the two discs was the capoeira twins version of kitachi's "raise it up". it was one of the few in-house label tracks along with some compilation exclusives from artists signed to elsewhere etc.
naturally i was hooked to it thanks to that catchy bassline and guitar that has been borrowed from the bunny lee & the aggrovators produced "none shall escape judgement" riddim, made popular by johnny clarke. i didn't know the source of the sample until selector henrik "eye'n i" blomqvist played it on his radioshow some month ago and it was a moment of recognition.
dynamite mc's rap is also a highlight as his flow is impeccable and works well with the new riddim in mind. i also like the salsa-esque piano and percussion samples in the middle of the track and of course the traditional jamaican sound effects. the result is a skanking fun party number and it's well recommended.
