Catraz – Knock Knock

• 21st Aug 2009

Is cheeky, dialogue driven hip-hop skirting finding its way back to the level of popularity that it had a few years ago? Back when the likes of The Streets, Sway and Bromheads Jacket were doling out pub philosophy like sweets.

From the depths of his Bristol base, Catraz combines the lagging friendliness of Akira The Don and the straight edge delivery of Just Jack with a vitriolic, horn fuelled accompaniment.

This instrumental strut has enough profile to Act as a musical equivalent to bling, but his production skills ensure that this element does not overshadow his vocals and his tale of debauchery and urban life.

For those who like to dabble in hip-hop, but don’t like it too brash and egocentric, Catraz is just the ticket.
