Album of the month: DRS - Mid Mic Crisis

Drum and Bass | Thursday 5th February 2015 | CHEF

With a reputation now stretching well over 15 years, DRS is a truly versatile MC, host, lyricist and recording artist. Demonstrating the versatility and wide appeal of his unique style.

The Manchester living, world travelling artist gives us his most complete work to date, a canvas painted vividly withall his experiences collected up to the present date.

It says much about DRS as an artist that the production is handled by an all star cast, his influence and reach extends beyond any one genre, for example Toddla T rubs shoulders with Skeptical and yet there is an undeniable cohesion across the album and this is largely the case due to DRS’s confidenceand vision in the album It’s a project that he feels very comfortable about releasing:

DRS is also head of the Estate Recordings label in Manchester, part of hip-hop crew Broke’n’English, and a respected recording artist in his own right, with his massive debut LP on Manchester Drum and bass mighty Soul:R label entitled ‘I Don't Usually Like MC's But’ paved the way for more Mc's to lay down lyrics over a 170bpm tempo.

The new 2015 album entitled 'Mid Mic Crisis' has called in an amazing line up of collaborators to help him bring his vision to life, including Addison Groove, Die, Calibre, Dub Phizix, Lynx, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, S.P.Y., Chimpo and even the Soul:R bossman himself, Marcus Intalex.

With16-cuts, tracks of DRS pressure the album project has just just released its first sampler with DRS linking up with Jubei for the booming lead single, “The Puppeteer” before flipping it into dubby territory on “Emergency” with Intalex on the flip.

What can I say apart from dont sleep on this album another great album from DRS & friends.
