Sleepin’ Giantz (aka Zed Bias, Rodney P and Fallacy) release their heavily anticipated self-titled debut album on 2nd July on Tru Thoughts. The full LP was preceded on 28th May by the buzzy, anthemic single,'Badungdeng', which has been sending clubbers off the hook and gaining heavy radio support including Benji B (BBC R1), MistaJam (BBC R1/1Xtra), Sinden (Kiss), Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music), DJ Q (1Xtra) and Goldierocks (The Selector/NME Radio).
The Sleepin’ Giantz project sees Zed Bias (the main musical alter-ego of Manchester based producer Dave Jones - pioneer of break beat garage and much loved by BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac among others) joining forces with two MCs: Rodney P (the London Posse man widely regarded as the Godfather of British hip hop) and Fallacy, often described as the missing link between UK hip hop and grime. Joining the dots between hip hop, house, grime, dubstep and garage, the Sleepin’ Giantz album is a masterclass from these three UK heavyweights, with guest spots from Fox and Jenna G.
With conflicting workloads, diaries, geographical locations and more to contend with, for a while Sleepin’ Giantzlooked destined to remain a fantasy – both for the artists involved and for their legions of fans; with the album now a reality, Fallacy talks about how it finally came together: “Rodney was in with Zed making music, I finished a rave I host called Sexy Ugly and came through. That was the night we recorded “Badungdeng”. Between me and Rodney we are a mix of busy, lazy and too cool to give a shit so the work wasn’t happening. Zed just put it out there and said let’s do it - it will happen quicker and you will both half your workload. It’s still taken two years but we are here. Sleepin’.”
