Keeping it 140 - Welcome to Grime Shutdown. Cover: P Money

Grime Shutdown

‘Levelz 2 Dis’ sees one of the most exciting collaborations not just to come out of the 1Forty camp, but the UK Garage scene, and the outcome has exceeded what was an already very high expectation. Simply put, we're talking about track of the year potential. A catchy melodic undertone rattled by a bassline that can only be described as nothing short of perfect, vocalled by a Coco at the very top of his game, to deliver a track that will ultimately go down as one of the stand out tracks of the NUKG era so far.

MPH has woven his sound into nearly every conceivable corner of UK dancefloors, strapping together monumental releases for some of the scenes most important imprints. From smooth garage creations with DJ EZ’s label Nuvolve, Kiwi Records, Southpoint and now 1Forty to be added to that list, to raucous bassline bangers for the likes of Night Bass & CruCast, its difficult to find a leading underground label within Garage & Bass music that MPH is yet to encounter.

Coco returns to the label after his feature on the Dance Dun Remix in October 2020 which saw a set on Sir Spyro’s BBC 1Xtra show to celebrate the release. The Sheffield MC and Producer has been steadily championing the grime scene for the north with his unapologetic delivery, colourful character and undeniable energy earning plaudits from the likes of Complex, DJ Mag, Red Bull, Noisey, i-D and regular backing from Annie Mac, DJ Target, Charlie Sloth and best mate Toddla T. Fresh off the back of performing at Stormzy’s Merky Festival at Ibiza Rocks and pairing with Sheffield United FC for their Premiership Kit Launch last year Coco delivered his best body of work to date with his ‘Regional Murker’ EP with Target and Toddla T giving it their ‘Targo Embargo’ and ‘Hottest Record In The World’ backing respectively. Going into 2020 Coco put out more productions but also still consistent with vocal releases including ‘Cooking’ alongside Jammz, Blay & Capo Lee and the powerful ‘I Love It (Black)’ in response to the BLM movement.

His top-tier calibre of releases across the last three years has seen the MC collaborate with standout names including AJ Tracey, Nadia Rose, Scrufizzer, Conducta, Shola Ama and of course fellow steel city don Toddla T. This stellar discography has seen him deliver ferocious sets across festival stages such as Glastonbury, Outlook, Annie Mac Presents: Lost & Found, Bestival, Notting Hill Carnival, Nass, Kendal Calling to name a few.
