The last decade has seen the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Tempa T, Plan B, Roll Deep (Riko, Scratchy and Trim) all feature on Chase & Status records, and now the duo have reaffirmed their British roots and with several colossal collaborations.
Beginning the project was the hard-hitting “Funny” featuring BBK’s Frisco, premiered by Mistajam on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Volume II of the London Bars project came courtesy of Peckham hailing rapper and SN1 member, Giggs, introduced by Zane Lowe as his World Record on Beats 1, with “More Ratatatin”. Week three of the series featured South London rapper Bonkaz, who having shot to fame with his single “We Run The Block” earlier this year, couldn’t resist jumping on the London Bars project, delivering “Wha Gwarn?” as premiered by Charlie Sloth on BBC Radio 1Xtra. The series ended with the hard-hitting “Bigger Man Sound.” Premiering via Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on Radio 1, the track is a collaboration with founding member of The Square, Novelist.
To celebrate the release of the four track “London Bars” EP a 16 minute documentary is available to watch above.
