Kumo – Born Soldier EP
Nuusic are a fantastic little label that have really burst out the stocks over the last couple of years, releasing a plethora of music with the common thread of rudeness and an inability to stand still. Kumo is jumping on this heritage with vigour this week, and Born Soldier rolls out across four tracks with a jumpy attitude that we’re incredibly sad won’t be heard on a danceflloor anytime soon.’Skeng Riddim’ is an absolute percy, as a two-step drum pattern takes you in to a funky, flowing hip-hop arrangement with serious bite. ‘Born Soldier’ is packed out in the lows, straining against itself the whole way, whilst ‘Virus’ is another naught little roller. This one pops.
