Just before we left for the Sperm Festival in Prague, I was in the office with WEE MeTom, preparing for the interviews we'd lined up. MeTom said check this out and blasted out the new album from SPank Rock. NOt only do they have the bestest name in Music at the moment. Their dirtier than filthy basslines and rude lyrics stand them out as one of the few U.S. HipHop acts to really have been influenced by the UK Grime scene and they are at leasted touted as the only U.S. act to list Dizzee Rascal as an influence. It's nice to see the influence in Hip Hop going the other way for once. and with collaborations with M.I.A. in the pipeline, I'm sure there will be more plenee more nonsense ahead. Brilliant stuff.
