Dope tune, can't wait to spin dis ina session !

The third Red Robin 7” finds the veteran Tippa Lee in fine form, crooning and chatting in a suffrah’s style on a classic Juno 6-led riddim by Naram.

Tippa’s Down in the Ghetto lyric first came about as a freestyle delivered whilst driving Naram to LAX airport. Naram saw it fit to record a video - instagram.com/p/BemjPuHAcDg - of Tippa’s handiwork and, revisiting it months later, he decided the tune deserved to find its way to wax.

So Naram re-recorded the riddim properly with live syn drums (courtesy of the classic Roland DDR-30 unit), and Red Robin sent Tippa to work in the studio.

The result is an authentic piece of late-80s inspired rub-a-dub, that will clear the dancefloor at any Euro steppas festival but warm the heart of any true lover of hardcore digital reggae.

Coming soon to all nice and decent record shops.
