LDZ Living Long Ting LP
The group formerly known as London Zoo get ready to release their long-awaited mixtape. Setting up camp with the Dented Records crew, LDZ are on a mission, leaving no one safe with their sharp wit and graphic rhymes.
Starting out as a live act, MC Dabbla and DJ Pierre Green have since recruited MCs Pringle and Mention and producer Sumgii to the crew. After success on pirate radio and at local events, the group stepped up a gear with their new members in place, supporting the likes of Rahzel and Jeru the Damaja.
This was all before a video popped up on You Tube. This was their first single, the now legendary Lips 2 Da Floor featuring Dubbledge and it proved to be the real launch point for LDZ. After hearing that tune you might (as I did), expect the mixtape to be based solely on catchy anthems but it throws up a surprise.
Though the verbal poundings are plentiful, with everyone from Timbaland to Ashley Cole on the receiving end, the tight delivery of the lyrics combined with the variation of beats from Pierre Green and Sumgii show that LDZ are not one dimensional, from funkier numbers such as So Many Girls, to the dark and socially conscious Cheddar.
The explicit humour of the bouncy ‘Get Your Tits Out’ featuring Orifice Vulgatron, and their personal take on Justin Timberlake’s ‘My Love’ (where they ask “if I sang you a melody, would you come out and give head to me?”) are sure to follow in in the footsteps of the grime parody, and tunes that will definitely get stuck in your head for a while but don’t expect the rest of the album to follow suit. Released on 24th September, this is definitely one to check.
