BASS: Ragga Drum & Bass drives Top Cat’s new album 'Two Veterans'

Top Cat, a longtime MC whose ragga style delivery has influenced the UK Drum & Bass scene for a decade, is releasing a new album Two Veterans: Tenor Fly meets Top Cat in June. In an unusual move, copies of the CD are already available on the Internet a full six months before its release date.

Two Veterans is described as a collection of brand new mixes of classic tracks and new lyrics from two legends of Drum & Bass. After hearing a few tracks, we think this album’s quirky enough to blow up beyond the insular UK scene and will appeal to Americans looking for something different to kick off their 2007 library with.

The new album isn’t slated to hit record stores worldwide until June 5. However, we found it posted here on website CD Baby, where users can order pre-release copies and hear samples from tracks like Shout Bawl Out, Sound Inna Danger and Live Your Dreams. If those teasers aren’t enough, you can also check out this smoking hot video.

Top Cat is the founder of 9 Lives Records label, which has featured artists like Tenor Fly, Daddy Freddy, Prento Youth, Tad Hunter, Carlene Clarke, Nerious Joseph, Chronical, Simpleton, Robbie Valentine, Vivian Jones and Mike Anthony.
