Title: Wa La La Leng (Do my thing) (A Wallace and Morris ‘No’ West’ Production)
Label: Ramrock Red Records
Cat. No: RRR090
Rel. date: September 5th, 2025

To mark the 90th Ramrock Red release, here’s something a bit different. Over six years ago, Jo Wallace at Ramrock and Darren Morris at North Street teamed up with international hip hop artist, Taz to cut a storming, summer banger called ‘Wa La La Leng (Do My Thing). With Taz freestyling over an insanely ‘guerilla funk’ bed, Darren Morris goes all out JB on the keyboards, taking no prisoners. However, fate struck a harsh blow when Jo had her laptop stolen and the only existing premaster had been saved onto her drive…..or so she thought. Fast forward to early 2025 when Darren found a back up copy on an old studio hard drive. Without a minute to spare, he mastered the track (with a clean version for radio) and trust me, the funk will be with you. Old skool to its very core, ‘Wa La La Leng’ will be mashing it up worldwide….and those of a certain generation will clock the reference to the KTel ‘Superbad’ album sleeve on the EP artwork.

Co-writer of the ‘Eskimo’ rhythm with godfather of Grime, Wiley, Taz became the first UK rapper to be signed to Def Jam after being signed to Island Universal. Jamaican born Taz had an early introduction to the Jamaican music scene from hanging out in local studios at a young age with the likes of Terra Fabulous, Monster Shock and Saxon Soundsystem, his step father’s sound. At the tender age of 12, Taz uprooted and moved to London where music became an even bigger part of his life. His break came in 2004 when he hooked up with Grime artist Dizzee Rascal. Taz produced and co-wrote the stand out hit ‘Just A Rascal’ and supported Dizzee on his 2004 ‘Boy In Da Corner’ UK Tour. Further production and remix work included remixes of Ashanti’s ‘Rain On Me’ and ‘Rock Withchu’ as well as ‘Locked Up’ taken from Akon’s ‘Trouble’ LP earning him two platinum plaques and chart exposure on both sides of the Atlantic. Awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello awards for his part in putting UK Grime onto the global mainstream music map, Taz’s debut album ‘Analyse This’ featured the likes of Kardinal Offishall and Terri Walker and boasted UK Top 40 hit ‘Can’t Contain Me’. ‘Cowboy Film’ went on to become a UK Hip Hop classic featuring Kardinal Offishall and the remix featured fellow UK heavyweights Sway and Bigz which revolutionised urban video in the UK. Taz continued to write and produce with Dizzee and his track ‘Learn’ from the 2007 LP ‘Showtime’ gave Taz another plaque to add to his collection, this time a gold one. He then went on to tour with the likes of Kanye West and Sean Paul, he even got the opportunity to perform for Prince Charles at the Princes Trust concert alongside the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Other notable artists Taz has performed on tracks alongside include Styles P, Estelle and Arrow Benjamin and more. Acclaimed DJ’s such as Radio One’s Jo Whiley, Ras Kwame and Tim Westwood championed Taz from early with regular radio rotation for his releases over the years. He has also received notable press from the likes of The Guardian, Dazed and Confused and more. In 2008 Taz went on to form DMT which saw him enjoy global success with ‘Touch U’ and be signed to Universal Music International. Taz has enjoyed more chart success with a double number one on Traxsource with Mousse T which he co-wrote with Jo Wallace and U.S singer / songwriter Inaya Day on the massive 2018 disco banger ‘Rock Da Mic’ which released under Glitterbox.
