DJ Undercover scratches up the vocal of the vocoder voice which says 'Funky'.
And I believe (from my hearing) that DJ Undercover scratches the vocodered vocal sample from The Def Jam by Jazzy Jay ... so that's two ruff tunes to listen too.... or just simply put Supreme..... DJ q berts hero. . Freestyle scratching! -
Edited 4 years agoDJ Undercover (2) is number one! ;) Where is He at these daze?

my alltime favourite uk hip hop track for many reasons. completely blew my 13 year old mind when this dropped & more or less gave birth to that militant britcore sound us heads all love & miss. this & the style wars 12'' started that movement in my opinion. incredible track.... -
K-Sly is invincible!! DJ Undercover cold crush! DJ Supreme style! Nuff said! But it's such a shame they ran out of steam due to the album coming out too late (plus where were the bangers like this???) ... Gunshot definitely outshone these guys for lyrical delivery and longevity!

Hard, hard UK rap 12.
At a time (when is this not the case) when British rap was not hitting the same level as their US counterparts. These guys came along and hit so hard. Sitting on album covers with gas masks on and ninja swords way before Wu Tang clan, delivering hard, fast, funky rap, Komanchi Sly cutting through the beats with impecable delivery. Undercover, transforming and cutting up noise over the sledgehammer breaks
And it was from the UK, made you feel proud that we could do this rap thing as good the US.
