Press Release for "First Lesson - Single PR"
Juice Aleem touches down with the first single from his forthcoming late-arriving debut album “Jerusalaam”.

“First Lesson” does exactly what it says on the tin. Over a shuffling, chugging slice of classic Shadowless funk care of producer/MC Blackitude, Juice lays down the law to every wack MC, lame-ass trendy and posturing wannabe badman, throws in some foul thoughts and dirty deeds, before rounding things out with a sing-rap chorus of pop-itch catchiness.

But Juice has also rounded up a bunch of like-minds and fellow travellers for a truly fantastic remix package. Evil Nine kick things off with an electro-breaks epic that sounds like the best of Justice, only with a better lyricist! Next up grime/dubstep producer of the moment Rude Kid turns in a brutal, pummelling take on the original, all vicious synth lines and bouncing drum patterns. Longtime Aleem-associate, Big Dada podcaster, DJ and producer A La Fu steps up next with a mix which combines great shimmering curtains of spooky keys with shuddering bass. Finally Blackitude delivers the Shadowless Domain remix, which hints at dubstep crossed with Hong Kong action movies.

A superb package from a remarkable lyricist, this is the first of many lessons – lessons in doing it right, in caring about what you say and how you say it, in middle finger audacity and creative intelligence. Learning ain’t usually so much fun…
