Fusing the best of old-school grime with modern bassline, UK-based producer Zero and legendary Grime MC Tempa T have released the raucous new track "Watch the Skank."
Inspired by a viral clip from 2008 of Tempa T MC'ing in his Ayia Napa hotel room, this single marks a triumphant return for Tempa T to the forefront of rave culture.
"Watch the Skank" channels the infectious energy of Tempa T’s early days, bringing his distinctive vocal style and rapid pace to a tear-the-house-down speed-garage backdrop and nodding to the underground UK culture, blending nostalgia with a fresh, modern twist.
Zero, a rising star in the bass music scene, has established himself with a signature sound characterized by pounding four-to-the-floor percussion and speed-garage sensibilities.
