Plan B, Skinnyman, Task Force, Foreign Beggars and Doc Brown are just a few of the urban legends that join UNDALI’s mercenary band of assassin MCs for this musical onslaught.Armed with an arsenal of turntable skills and a sharp ear for detail, Blunted Needles earns his name by cutting, scratching and blending his way through these 25 nuggets of highly explosive material. Blunted’s production skills stand rock-solid alongside the likes of Raw Dog, Dag Nabbit, Farma G and Plan B as well as UNDALI’s notorious Wyt-Fang, Jimmy Wha Gwan & DJ Moodie.The CD opens with a slew of exclusives. First up is ‘Brace Yourself’; a sinister, adrenalin-fuelled track taken from Thre’s debut E.P. of the same name (due for release February 2007). This is followed by Prem C’s ‘Serve and Slaughter’, a virulent lyrical outburst laced over an instrumental oozing with Raw Dog’s electro-funk flavour.Plan B provides beats and rhymes on ‘Making Love To Hip-Hop’ where Skrein and Shameless join him to explore the carnal pleasures of lyricism from the murky depths of their imaginations. Next up is ‘Original’ where Blunted’s broken, bass driven beat provides the perfect backdrop for Skinnyman’s fiery diatribe against…. just about everyone, a true underground gem.Blunted Needles blends the numerous exclusives in his box of tricks with well-crafted scratch skits and a few underground classics from the last year that may have escaped your attention. Including Task Force’s ‘Catchphrase Games’ and the addictive ‘Cryin Shame’ from Foreign Beggars.There are also a few soon-to-be-released exclusives like the hilarious ‘6 Bitters’ by Skreintax (a collaboration between Skrein & Dr. Syntax) featuring Dubbledge, who also laces us with the anthemic ‘Sonshine’, taken from his forthcoming album ‘The Richest Man In Babylon’.On ‘Sounds From The Underground’ UNDALI’s Skrein, Doobie & Gringo join Colombian rappers Zona Marginal for a bi-lingual demonstration of anti-war solidarity. Zona Marginal was only in the UK for a few weeks courtesy of Amnesty International to promote awareness of cultural resistance through music in Colombia. As fate would have it, they randomly met some Spanish-speaking members of UNDALI and an immediate bond was formed.The second half of the CD is heaving with UNDALI exclusives, boasting some of their best material yet. Their drops a captivating one-take freestyle on ‘Ghostnote’ and Graziella’s sweet vocals compliment the eerie mood of ‘Sleepwalkers’.Geordie MC Stig Of The Dump drops tales from the ‘Toon on ‘The Dump’ and joins Skrein and Thre for the psychotic episodes of ‘Hearin Voices’. The whole gang piles in for ‘Sharpest Tools In The Box’, an eight MC crew-banger attacking the music industry.As this rip-roaring rollercoaster ride draws to a close Blunted Needles takes us smoothly from the bitter war cry of Skrein & Supar Novar’s ‘Idols’ to the soothing melodies of Graziella’s ‘Sunstroke’, both produced by Jimmy Wha Gwan. The final nugget of UK Hip-Hop gold comes courtesy of Skrein, Doobie and Doc Brown with a track called ‘Smoke Dance’, where the three MCs spin smoky stories reflecting on the highs and lows of life as a herbaholic.‘Sharpest Tool In The Box’ is a timepiece, both for the UNDALI collective and for UK Hip-Hop as a whole. It represents a cross section of the industry at a very crucial stage and displays the genres inherent diversity.
