‘Holes In The Building’ is out now! – http://truthoughts.lnk.to/RodneyHITB
“Holes In The Building” sees London Posse man and all-round Godfather of British hip hop Rodney P linking up with Bristol’s DJ Die, one of UK dance music’s most influential figures whose exploits include co-founding Reprazent with Roni Size. Here, the pair combine their talents to forge an attention-grabbing slice of conscious ska- and hip hop-infused pop music. With early support from MistaJam, Rodigan, Ace and Charlie Sloth on 1Xtra, Annie Nightingale (BBC R1), Edward Adoo (BBC 3CR), BBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and Don Letts (to name a few), this punchy and magnetic track is spreading far and wide.
Connecting with their common ska and two-tone roots, Rodney P & DJ Die simultaneously turn back the clock while updating the script – although, as they concede, when it comes to the social message of the song and prospects of the kids it calls out to, the script sadly hasn’t changed much since the heyday of The Specials, The Selecter, Bad Manners and all the others they used to listen to as young wannabe rude-boys.
“The inner city is still falling apart, the kids are still bored with not much to do other than party all night with the occasional riot to spice things up”, says DJ Die; “The only other alternatives are to either get a regular job and work nine-to-five for shit money, sell drugs or get creative. The latter of these three things is what we’re suggesting would best thing to do, and of course bus a one foot skank – standard.”

_______________________________________________________________________
Theres trouble round the corner,
thats not new when i was on the corner there was trouble there too
but now the got a new crew whos got a tutu
and could end up doing sunfing what they cant undo
(because theres trouble everywhere now)
thats what they say
when i was on the corner there
they feel the same way
but we feel the fresh a lickle more everyday
cus were getting red letter where we stil cant pay
life with no feels work or no play
but we still find love in the places we stay
coming like a zimbabwe mobabay
tho i really rock a muffin n hustling all day
in the boardroom
on the road
nothing left sacred
(everything to be sold)
pretty soon water
(worth more than gold)
you cant say you never did i know you did so
theres trouble round the corner
trouble up the stairs
trouble in the kitchen
trouble everywhere
kids are getiing lazy
lifes getting crazy
theres holes in the building
theres guns everywhere
fuck it
it is what it is and we love it
it aint a real party till police come shut it
who got the girl
and who got headbutted
but really round the muffin and we tink nutting of it
listen if you dont like your prossition (change it)
try and arrange a new vision
lickle hard work can take a lickle hard mission
get enough doh and try to make a transitions
(now here this)
if we dont plan lets hope alot
but we still find time to smoke alot
and we dont make moves were broke alot
thats a joke ting time we broke the law
cus in these times of resession
i see enough creative progression
but babylong have got enough man stressing
what between the art and mine toos the weapon
theres trouble round the corner
trouble up the stairs
trouble in the kitchen
trouble everywhere
kids are getiing lazy
lifes getting crazy
theres holes in the building
theres nobody there
it is what it is and were loving it
trouble everywhere
aint a real party till police come shutting it
theres guns everywhere
nooooooooothing eeeeeeeelse to do
well thats true
cus theres trouble round the corner
but hold tight
i dont wanna fight
i wanna have a good night
and lifes hard living
if you dont live right
so we try n live right
and reach a new height
(cus theres trouble everyway now)
thats to true
and if you look for trouble, trouble come look for you
but im living
fight the fight i cant give in
one foot skank as we rock to the riddim
Nice end , true skank!
yes m8 I love it

This style of music is called SKA for those who were wondering. Gwaan Riddim Killa.

Hook is dead asf, but Rodney's verses are hard
