 Percee P ft. Tim Dog & Diversion Tactics Percekusion bw/ NY to the UK 12"

Any hiphop fan from these shores has got to be interested in this 12”. I mean what is it about Diversion Tactics that means they get to do tracks with some really heavy US underground acts?! Whatever their formula, or as I suspect bribe, they need to keep it up because a little trans-pond collaboration always throws up some niceness. Both tracks feature Diversion Tactics coming heavy on the boards, with some classic, almost early Gangstarr, sounding production for the A-side. Percee P does some straight up battle-ish, but for those of you familiar with the Rhyme Inspector, who wouldn’t want anything else, it’s sure to hit the spot. The B-side ‘NY to the UK’ has a fairly basic but chunky beat, until the space blaster like noises drift in and out adding more character. Tim Dog who’ve not heard from in a while smashes it, as does Percee. It’s pleasing to hear that the Diversion Tactics boys hold there own on the m.i.c. too.

There are numerous reasons to buy this 12”, ranging from Tim Dog making an appearance for the first time in ages to another intriguing UK / US collabo. They all point to the same outcome, dopeness that shouldn’t be ignored.
