whatever is the type of this genre, need it more

Armour has been out of the music game since his days as a N.A.S.T.Y Crew member, but dipping his toes in and out the water since 2016 has meant whenever he drops a track it usually makes a splash. Releasing just 3 tracks since his infamous ‘Pepper Pot’ release alongside P Jam, which still causes a ruckus in the raves 5 years on, 1Forty thought it was about time to bring him out once more for a legendary link up with Ruff Sqwads Roachee on the feature. No doubt two of the most iconic voices in the scene over the past 20 years jump on an instrumental from somewhat of a toddler in comparison, Hayz, having been established by the label in 2019. That being said an array of famous samples has brought to the table a nostalgic grime instrumental, perfect for Armour and Roachee to supply one of their most authentic Grime records in recent years ‘Link With Dem’.

Armour, healing from East London known for his patois-slinging and good-nature, is greatly respected by the early spitters and DJs in Grime. He was a prominent figure on pirate radio while riding with N.A.S.T.Y crew and featured on some of the most famous sets over the years such as Jammer’s Birthday Bash. Having somewhat of a cameo appearance in the scene now after a ten year stint out the game, he spends life away from music educating the less privileged on how to stay on the straight and narrow, leading by example, following his passion for music by still making time to record and appear on sets in his free time.

Roachee, MC and former member of Roll Deep having joined the collective in late 2004. Roachee is responsible for possibly Roll Deep’s most famous grime record When I’m ‘Ere which has rung out up and down the country since 2005. From 2010 to 2015 a run of features for the likes of Ghetts, Tinchy Stryder Devlin, Rival and Lil Nasty ensued, and even a send for Scorcher, in an attempt to ignite a clash for the highly anticipated return of Lord Of The Mics III. In that time he also joined Prince Rapid after a long time affiliation unofficially with Ruff Sqwad. Some time away from music ensued before a surge of radio appearances commended pre COVID-19 and into 2021 post lockdowns leading to his debut 1Forty release.

Whilst Leeds has had a Grime scene that has been quietly bubbling away for a few years on the MC front, there have been very few 140 producers who come through. Hayz was hellbent on changing that since landing on the 1Forty radar and has established that since his label debut with ‘Hightop’ in September 2019 and the VIP that followed. His debut EP landed on Rapture 4D’s critically acclaimed Plasma Abuse label in 2020, before leading on to what some are naming as a contender for EP of the year alongside 1Forty featured artists NothingNice and Logan, with the London City Warlord Riko Dan on the lead track, which release on Durkle Disco in February of this year. His most recent release came on 1Forty at the close of summer with a 2021 reboot freebie of Danny Weed’s iconic ‘Creeper’ instrumental.

Armour Ft Roachee - Link With Dem (Prod. Hayz)

Blatant (Prod By Chad Dubz) OUT NOW

Murder He Wrote teased a WIP of a Dubstep track inspired by the Big Apple Records era on Twitter a year ago, and things went a bit crazy. Shortly after it ended up in the 1Forty inbox. The 1Forty camp couldn’t think of anything more tantalizing for a feature than letting old Dubstep sounds collide with an MC of today. An MC of today that is more than familiar with the Dubstep rave scene. Step forward Logan to make this their second collaboration after the 2019 smash on UKG cut ‘Worthwhile’, this time reconnecting for ‘Realist’ for Murder He Wrotes first official Dubstep release, and making this release number fourteen between the two collectively on the label.

Blending elements of Broken Beat, UK Garage, Soca and House into his own off-kilter take on bass music, Murder He Wrote’s playful productions and edits have been destroying clubs worldwide for some years now. Originally breaking out via a flurry of releases on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, MHW’s tracks have gained heavy support from a diverse range of dance music's most respected tastemakers including Mary Anne Hobbs, DJ EZ, Gilles Peterson, Redlight and Jamz Supernova. Working across 3 decks, his eclectic, low-end focused DJ sets have seen him land guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM and BBC 6Music - alongside a touring schedule that’s taken in clubs and festivals around the world including Fabric, Ministry Of Sound and Outlook.

Since 2019 we’ve seen a MHW Boiler Room debut, a production on Fox’s debut album ‘Juice Flow’ on Swing Ting (one of Mixmag’s albums of the year), the heavily supported singles ‘Honey Riddim’ ft Snowy and ‘Worthwhile’ ft. Logan, the latter making the A-List on Rinse FM and Spotify’s 'New Music Friday’, and DJ sets across Europe, North America and Australia. More recently there’s been two collaborations with UK Funky legend Roska, official remixes for Afro B, T-Pain, Zed Bias and Children Of Zeus plus an eclectic run of singles on MHW’s own Rhythm Athletic imprint - amassing over a half a million Spotify streams and support across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, NTS and 6Music and more guest mixes across the stations too, as recent as Annie Nightingale at the start of November.

2019 really saw Logan come into his own as both an artist and an MC, being picked up for LOTM8 by Jammer paired with a string of high profile releases making him without doubt one of the most versatile names of today's generation of MCs. With releases across MoreTime Records, with Kouslin on Durkle Disco and Idris Elba’s ‘Yardie Mixtape’ respectively, says all you need to know. There are also honorable mentions for tracks ‘Like Me’ with Treble Clef and ‘Ready Fi Di War’ with Trends both of which gained significant traction across the BBC, Rinse & Reprezent also, before a run of huge underground smashes on 1Forty elevated him once more including ‘Bun Dem Down’ with Hamdi and ‘Set Trends’ with MPH.
