Call me up in the middle of the night, round about four Sayin’ you’re needin’ to score Can I hide this, can I hide that, can I cover you one more time Can I get you some money, can I come over like right away, the police is knockin’ at your door And I’m just too pretty to do any more time in a cell With a sex starved monkey going through all hell Findin’ me to be a star attraction, I’ll be gettin’ the kinda reaction I only look for in a woman of style, in a woman of grace In a woman that’s got the power of God in her hand and a smile on her face The kind of girl that was your sister, how I miss her, Too bad she was found to be trustin with a man who killed her ‘Cos she didn’t call him “Mister”, And now I’m pleading to your sense of decency, just you and me, Remember the way we always used to rule the streets, just the way it always used to be? HOOK/CHORUS 1 Relay the message I gotta be comin’ down hard on this guy Relay the message back I gotta be takin’ the fire from outta his eyes Write it down ‘cos I’m not gonna say this message again son Ever thought about quittin’ the skunk so your eyes could blink in unison ? VERSE 2 So you’re holed up in your own little nightmare, in a drug induced stare Frantically trying to get to the phone to call the brother of the woman you killed To come over and bail you out again, ‘cos I’m your friend, ‘cos I save and forgave, ‘Cos it wasn’t the real you that put my sister in an early grave, it was the dope And so you hope, I’ll be giving you cash in your hands to send you to the stars And not just a twisted rope But there again you don’t know the real me, smiling assassin I come in the dark and start amassin’ a great deal of fear and pain ‘Cos I laugh in the face of this vengeance murder game I’ll be lookin’ through your keyhole in disguise, ring at the bell, Who’s there, it’s Michael Myers, with a butcher’s knife and a dark expression And I’ll take a confession. HOOK / CHORUS 2 REPEATED Relay the message back I gotta be comin’ down hard on this guy Relay the message back I gotta be takin’ the fire from outta his eyes Write it down ‘cos I’m not gonna say this message again son Ever thought about quittin’ the skunk so your eyes could blink in unison ?

about

The fourth and final EP in the relaunch series marking the return of New Dawn Records after a 15 year hiatus, Krash Slaughta v B.I.M. "18 Showdown" is a special collection of all remixes produced by the legendary turntablist dj, II Tone Committee member and UK DMC finalist for Belles in Monica.

Comprising mainly of tracks originally released on 12" vinyl between 2002-2004, there is also the inclusion of the new remix of "Venom", previously unavailable in any format.

Renowned through the years for his trademark unique production style fusing imaginative experimental soundscapes with driving beats and exquisite scratching techniques, it was a meeting of like minds given the group’s own distinctive musical approach and lyrical subject matter.

The soundtrack provided for “What D’Ya Need” underpins a storyline travelling into the destructive dark recesses of a narcotic inner city world, while the fuel injected funk and cutting frenzy of “Meltdown” invokes the chaos contained within the rhymes. The mash up of soul, driving bass and off kilter effects seemlessly blends the themes of “That All U Got?”, as does the unrelenting potency of “Resistance is Futile II”, the metaphorical dystopian vision of a Borg infested future crashing towards an explosive finale.

Reinforced by the designation of specific titles, Krash Slaughta stamps his own personality over each interpretation through a collection of powerful soundscapes rarely heard today, conceptual and artistically liberated, a sonic reflection of the label itself.
