Coming hot from the West Country with a plethora of UK hip-hop talent on guest duties, First Aid blends up a superbly catchy mix of horn, flute, scratching and heavy beats. Legend Rodney P needs no introduction, while Million Dan is a veteran ragga MC whose name will be familiar to nu-skool breaks fans. MCD is another UK hip-hop veteran, and combining all three of them on one track is explosive. The flipside, Escapology (ft. Mantis) is also inspired, with a rolling piano signature and some mental lyrics ("Forever getting' off ya faces / It's a sign of the times / It's time to get wasted!"). It seems that the forthcoming 'Devon Cream' LP is going to be something of an oddly-shaped milestone in UK hip-hop. Throw them West Country dubyas in the air. [Omar Kudos]
