Produced By Dazastah and featuring The Merindas on the hook this is a song about "your crazy ex'' where everyone else knows they are bad news except you. Is a trapped-out synthy Dazastah beat, coining the term " I'm Very Glad" passed down from his Grandfather. Big drums, big keys and features DJ Armee on the cut. This features Paulie P and is an anthem dedicated to blue collar workers. This is a tongue in cheek song about dreaming big, with a playful orchestral arrangement and a huge sing-along chorus. It also includes Bitter Belief, Layla, Mortar, Matty B, Downsyde, Mr Grevis and Emjay.
Featuring an all star cast of SBX MC's with Drapht on the chorus and the late Hunter making his final appearance. This is an epic 10-minute possee cut which switches and changes to each vocalist. It's that gritty New York feel which we love. With Rob Shaker on the cut, with KRS One lines. Produced By Optamus and Chris Foster this is probably the darkest street banger on the record. Self explanatory really, Fire It Up!! Borderline Produced By Optamus and horns by Premiss this is a classic bouncey Downsyde jam. The Hunger Inside refers to our burning desire to keep doing what we love all these years later. This is a classic Downsyde banger with Optamus and Dazastah trading off with verses. This fun disco tune was what came out of that collab, we loved the finished result. I watched a video of Jsquared playing the piano melody on Instagram and hit him up about working on a tune. The lyrics were basiclly a competition to see who could reference as many songs in one verse as possible. Produced by Opt and Chris Foster this track has a really interesting drum pattern and tension building to the choruses. The lyrics are "Beastie Boy-esque" back and fourth rhyme schemes which was really fun to record. This is definitely a fun throwback track with a nod to that classic 90s big drums/big horn sound. Produced by Optamus, with live horns, flutes and keys and Sam Nafie on the hook. The theme of the song is about "living for the moment" as if it was the last party you will ever have on the eve of Armageddon.
Produced by Dazastah with his trademark stomping drums, also features Porsah Laine who absolutely smashes the chorus and bridges. My man Chris Foster and I worked on this classical themed banger with really stripped back drums and scratches. We're pretty honoured to share the below track by track for the album, offering a little snapshot behind the scenes for some of WA's finest. Blending elements of disco, funk, hip hop, boom bap and more, with MCs Optamus, Dazastah and Shabaz getting it done over 16 huge tracks, with some special guests along the way (including the late, great MC Hunter on track 10, Life Is Music). After almost a decade since their fourth studio album, WA hip hop kings Downsyde have recently dropped LP #5 - ClassicILL, a monster comeback release that is another example of why they're one of the most respected Aussie hip hop groups in the game.
