| Summary: | "Our sound was very futuristic," reminisces Ruff Sqwad MC Slix, trying to pinpoint why it's taken until now for the crew to get their dues. "A lot of people appreciated it, but a lot of people just didn't understand it..." A compilation of the group's instrumentals was reissued in 2012, finally making their thrilling futurism available to a new generation. Now, with Ruff Sqwad's sound seeping into the mainstream, fans are getting a rare chance to see the originals in action. The group are reuniting for a one off show in Brixton this week. It will see core members Slix, Rapid and Dirty Danger reunited with Tinchy Strider, the MC who left the crew to achieve chart-topping success, securing a place in the history books for grime's weirdest collab: a duet with the Chuckle Brothers. |
