Durrty Goodz live PA this Friday
This Friday we're doing our third Immediate Sounds night, this time alongside West London promoters Get Me. Highlight of the night will be a rare live PA from grime/hip hop/bashment MC Durrty Goodz.
Ben from Immediate Sounds has already outlined Goodz's good points, but here's some more video footage in the unlikely event that you still need convincing:
As well as showcasing his flawless flow, here Goodz sheds light on the varied influences that have shaped him. Which range from 80s dancehall artists like Super Cat and Nicodemus to soundsystems like Stereo Mars and Killamanjaro to his uncle playing him Criminal Minded by Boogie Down Productions and a teenage Goodz "spitting lyrics over jungle round the time when Snoop Dogg dropped".
In the same video he puts himself alongside the likes of Ninjaman, Sizzla and Bounty Killer. It seems audacious, but while he may not have the stage presence, back catalogue or hooks of these artists, when it comes to his flow he's right.
Producer/DJ/writer Blackdown, who hooked us up with Goodz's management for this Friday's booking, says that the Firin' Squad video featured in Ben's post was a real inspiration for this video for Dusk & Blackdown's debut album, Margins Music:
Finally, Get Me promoter and DJ Lixo has a wicked new mix out which you can download from zShare.
The mix features artists like Mujava, Warrior Queen, Tayo, Kid Cudi, Buraka Som Sistema, Dizzee Rascal, Boy 8 Bit, The Bug and Diplo. Plus it opens with an Alan Partridge intro and a B-more remix of Congo Natty's Junglist. Big.
Get the full tracklist from Lixo's blog.
