If this doesnt make you move, somethings wrong with you

Like Logan, Hamdi is fresh off the back of the last Genre Release (1FFNG004) with his first ever vocal release ‘What You Gonna Do’ which was a vintage UK Funky circa 2008/2009 esqu sounding production from Retrospect complimented by a back and forth vocal between the talented Brighton producer/MC and Razor. Cosigned by the likes of Marcus Nasty and receiving support across Rinse and Reprezent it was widely well received.

Hamdi delivers his first production on the label since the debut 1Forty Release alongside 9TRANE on 1FGRM001 and his track ‘Criminal’; a spiralling dubstep heavy hitter. This latest addition to the 1Forty discography ‘Raw’ is a sign of how far he has come in the last two and a half years since that release as you can hear how he’s refined his signature sound to get his productions club ready for the top tier artists proven by the lengthy support on this record from Sicaria Sound who have been spinning it regularly around the world for the past 6 months.

Growing up listening to a lot of Grime and Dubstep it’s not hard to see the path Hamdi has taken firstly as a producer and secondly as an MC. In the last 12 months the Oxford born producer has gone on to release his own series of freestyle videos entitled ‘Bars’ all of which have amassed tens of thousands of views across socials whilst still having the likes of Novelist, Prez T, Managa, Capo Lee, Coco and a number of other artists regularly spitting over his beats on radio sets. Support has come from the likes of Sir Spyro, Spooky andJack Dat amongst others as well as outside the 140 spectrum from the likes of EZ, My Nu Leng, Flava D, Conducta and more. Only a couple of months ago Hamdi was drawing wheel ups from Plastician on deck alongside Razor on mic and it's not often in this generation you see an artist be as strong with the mic as on the DAW, that being said we may have another Jammz on our hands.

"1Forty have made quite a name for themselves with their genre-themed compilation EPs." - Complex UK

"I find it quite hard to find a lot of modern Grime with that weight it originated with, and its similar with the Funky but 1Forty seem to be finding these records and putting them out, keeping that flame alive." - Toddla T (BBC Radio 1)
