DAAAYYYUUMM!!!!!! Foreign Beggars are back at it again with their long awaited third album ‘United Colours of Beggattron’. A truly genre meshing monster of an release, ‘Beggattron’ shows a serious shift in the groups style, smashing the listener with exactly what you’d expect from the Beggar Camp: fresh and experimental hip hop music.
Their most mature effort to date, ‘Beggattron’ adopts a more light-hearted approach than its dark and edgier predecessor ‘Stray Point Agenda’. Its massive sound is fun and accessible whilst remaining thoroughly rugged to the ear both lyrically and with the beats. With production from D’n’B kings Noisia, off-kilter beat collective Ghosttown, Dag Nabbit, King Knut, Rednaz and DJ 2Tall, this project is varied and highly progressive in its sound whilst proving ever more stylishly tongue-in-cheek.
The eclectic mix of guest spots from Detroit’s Guilty Simpson and Phat Kat, Ben Sharpa, Devlin, Audra Nishita, MC Badness, Dubbledge, Jehst, Kashmere, Dr Syntax, Kyza and Graziella reflect both the musical diversity of the project and the versatility of the Beggars themselves. With styles ranging from the bass heavy dancefloor smashers ‘Contact’ and ‘Seven Figure Swagger’, to the uncompromising gullyness of ‘Prove It’, the dusty lo-fi grit of ‘Don’t Dhoow It’ or ‘No More’, or even the cheeky electro-pop number ‘Keepin’ The Line Fat’, this release is set to merk dancefloors, stereos and iPods indiscriminately.
And with a killer remix album in the works featuring the likes of Noisia, Sub Focus, Machine Drum, Onra, Goth Trad, Gifted and Blessed, Paul Pre, Floating Points, Om Unit, Bar9, and Ranking Records, it’s clear that these mother fuckers are doing it like others only wish they could!
The first single, ‘Contact’ b/w ‘Shake It’ with Noisia DnB Remix on the flip will be released as a 12" on October 5th.
