Pressure Dem 12" on Raw Fusion Rec. Decemeber '07

Cut up, re-paste and break it down! New York based Japanese producer Yellowtail, formally known as Hiro Awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the Raw Fusion label. And what a debut! It has all those little finesses we like; raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. But not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (Caribbean style!) by US based MC Juakali to make us get jump up on it! And folks, this is just the flipside
