Review

Banging on every level, if the intro hook don t get ya, the rest will. This partnership is worth every penny, time to get your money out and support this sh*t. --Phil Asher (restless soul)

Product Description

The Politik is Bémbé Ségué and Mark de Clive-Lowe (MdCL). Bémbé is the ubiquitous vocal and writing talent behind tunes by Bugz in the Attic, 4hero, Silhouette Brown, and MdCL s Tide s Arising album. MdCL is the UK-based musician and producer behind hundreds of future-soul rubs with Omar, Platinum Pied Pipers, DJ Spinna, Dego, Kenny Dope and plenty more. The Politik s self-titled debut album features Bémbé on the mic, joined by guests Blu, Bahamadia and replife, and MdCL on production with guests Waajeed (Bling47), Daz I-Kue (Bugz in the Attic) and Jason Yarde. It s not often that a CD crosses so many boundaries, combines so many genres but still maintains the integrity, forward-thinking and legitimate moving music-making as The Politik.
