V/A - Royalty ep

Debut collaboration between Baltimore's premier club label since 1994, Unruly Records, and the youngest in charge, Tittsworth & Ayres' T&A Records. Club King DJ Technics sets it off with a brand new update on the classic Lil Jon 'What' Bmore staple, juicing it up with regal horns and synths. Tittsworth ups the ante with a rowdy remix of MOP's classic 'Ante Up', and Baltimore OG Scottie B flips Dilla-era Tribe Called Quest, cleverly swinging the tempo down from club to hip-hop and back up to club. Brick City's DJ Tameil smooths it out, chopping Kelly Price and infusing her with a bit of ESG on 'Bump Like This', then Bamabounce, no stranger to T&A, mashes Say Wut's horns into an insane fight anthem, the urging 'Punchemindaface'. Finally DJ Ayres takes the same vocals and chops the hell out of Slayer's evil guitars, creating quite possibly the hardest club record of all time in 'Angel Of Death (Punchemindaface Pt. 2)'.
