This is the newest mixtape that Manchester grime MCs Dorris & Xtra have done together, it features a fair few other Manchester grime MCs such as Snoopy, XP, 007, L.K and Hypes as well as a few Hip Hop MCs like Sin Seer and C4. The mixtape is 15 tracks long and clocks in at 48 minuets. For me the personal highlights are Go Mental, a hyped up grime classic that will deffo be tearing down grime raves all over the country, Old School Vibes featuring Hip Hop MC Sin Seer, which is a Garage banger! This track from the get go wins over the listener with its raw instrumental, when the MCs start spitting it then cranks up the levels even more, Sir Yes Sir is another classic Grime anthem with an old school 06 feel to it, it features Manchester legend Hypes who recently featured on Lord of The Mics 3. The stand out track has to be Fuckerys which is a Manchester link up featuring L.K, C4 the Polymath, Sin Seer, Lady Ice & 007, its hard not to like this track, the intensity is easy to hear in just the instrumental let alone when the MCs start spitting some of there best bars to date. Other tracks to look out for are Did You Hear That, featuring Snoopy & XP, Deya, featuring L.K, Hyper Breh, And What, featuring Snoopy and finally From Now On, an insightful look at Dorris's life and choices, it is a passionate track that a lot of listeners will be able to relate to. Overall this mixtape is a great listen and any grime fan will lap it up!!
