Buy/Stream: smarturl.it/w0gh2h Premiered by Complex UK on 27th February 2020: https://www.complex.com/music/2020/02/premiere-ygg-royals Lyrical Strally and Jhuttz first featured on the label back in 2018 with ‘Grime Street’ as the lead track on 1FGRM003, a track that went on to be premiered by Complex, visuals that landed via SB:TV, and although was released at the very end of the year before, was featured in Sir Spyro’s ‘Best Of Grime 2019’ on his 1Xtra show. Throughout 2019 the relationship between artists and label was ever present from the release as well as Travis being part of the 1Forty Takeover on BBC Radio 1 w/ Toddla T. Lyrical Strally went on to join the bill at the 1Forty Manchester Launch in March alongside fellow YGG members PK and DJ Travis T as well as an appearance on Marcus Nasty’s Rinse show that summer. Some six months later another beat from Jhuttz landed in the 1Forty mailbox with a sound of grime very much fitting for a YGG revival after two years since their last release ‘Strikers’, paving the way for ‘Royals’. PK and Lyrical Strally have formed a formidable trio in YGG alongside Saint P, which earthed a new generation of Grime crew reminiscent of the energy of early Grime culture. 3 distinctive flows originally gaining traction on Radar Radio but going on to control sets on Boiler Room, Just Jam, 1Xtra, NTS and Rinse FM with the help of their DJ - Travis T. Since their breakthrough year in 2015 on AJ Tracy’s ‘Red Bull’ the three MCs have gone on to dominate the Grime scene in the years since. An official remix for Sir Spyro’s smash hit ‘Side By Side’ in 2016 saw them sign to Logan Sama’s ‘Keepin It Grimey’ Label early in 2017 which their debut EP ‘World Domination’ released through. 2018 saw the trio run ad campaigns with Nike and FootLocker and then sign to Flowdan’s ‘Spent Shell’ where under his management they released their biggest single to date on Astral Black - ‘Strikers’, their last release until now. Midlands producer Jhuttz was another fresh face on the Label at the time of the ‘Grime Street’ release. Having two productions on that same release (1FGRM003) alongside Ali McK on both, was also his track with K-Dot ‘1Forty Ting’. Since then he has quietly been working away making authentic Grime taking inspiration from old and new posting clips online and sending out dub packs to the big name DJs he’s making sure he’s staying true to the culture while he waited for his next opening on the Label.
