Skepta might be most infamous for ripping the mic on many a grime track with the likes of Wiley, JME and the Boy Better Know Crew, or being behind the boards on production, but for the 4th Rinse mix cd, the multi-talented individual gets behind the decks and back to his DJ roots for a rare set. As you'd expect, it's a grimey affair with an ample dose of testosterone driven energy thanks to uber-tough beats and rude flows - and just like he is on the mic, Skepta is NASTY behind the decks! The selection keeps it hype all the way through with a skillful blend of vocal tracks, instrumentals, and heavyweight anthems (Benga's "Night" appears once again - I think it's been on EVERY Rinse mix to date). Features tracks from Frisko, JME, Wiley, Double S, Skream, Benga, Coki and plenty from Skepta (of course). About 1 hour long.
