Where's Huey? - Stay

Posted by Matt Oliver at 26/07/2010 00:00:00

Rock-edged breaks with clear cut finishing and intentions from Specimen A. Emcee Bobby Whiskers is the man to blast from the tapes, dropping rhymes and doing a decent job with a range from arriving on the come-up with a “can-do attitude coming through” to putting competition out of business via some daft namedrops and playground insults. Despite self-claims of being “notorious and big”, Bob-Dubs is nearer a UK Fabolous, which should help make you mind up. Andrea Britton empowers Where’s Huey? on the chorus in a Roll Deep/Jodie Connor understanding, for a package peering over at the charts and very capable of gaining a strong footing. Might be a bit too perfectly presented and parcelled for some, but that’s where it’s at right now - it has every right to crossover giving what’s causing chart congestion ahead of it.

Weirdly the electro-bass shake-up sounds a bit more cynical – Aggro Santos’ recent advertisement of his websites is a worthy comparison – and is moulded from a chart dance with sharp edges starter kit. Instant results in minutes, less so a long-term asset. A Specimen A dubstep revamp lights a fire under the ass of Stay, ditching Whiskers but keeping Britton as a cat-suit-clad temptation. Otherwise it opens up the inventory again, grabbing hold of as many standard issue chopper lines as it can handle, instructed to dip a cold shoulder at zooming lines, burbles imported from Papua New Guinea and unruffled setting of scenery.
