Working In The Factory / Party People

The man they call McEnroe is no ordinary hip-hop rhymester - but then Vancouver, Canada, is not Compton. And, no, he's got nothing whatsoever to do with tennis. In fact, in the noble, maverick tradition of fellow renegade Canucks Buck 65 and Sixtoo, McEnroe is too busy for anything but taking hip-hop to stereotype-defying places. Of course, those of you who have followed this list over the last couple of years will already know just how highly we rate this guy - so its absolutely fitting that his UK debut should be on one of our favourite labels - Vertical Form. "Working In The Factory" is classic Mcenroe - effortlessly inspired lyrics and unmatched delivery, the beats padded and stretched beyond reason, spacious as you like. The instrumental is also included here and has never previously been available. Mcenroe rarity "Party People" features on the flip in a latino jump-up stylee, all supreme double-bass hopscotch business that redefines "Feelgood" completely.
