Editorial Review
Below is the official Punjab Online review.
Review done by Sachin Kheterpal.
PANJABI HIT SQUAD is a new organisation formed by two of the UK`s
freshest DJ`s.... a new crew featuring and introducing new desi talent and
bringing some real hip-hop flava into the Panjabi arena. This is only the
beginning... Forget all your preconceptions about Bhangra and Asian Pop
music - Panjabi Hit Squad are here to break the mould! This
groundbreaking new release from the UKs hottest desi DJs, Markie Mark and ADC,
features several exclusives. The title track `Shaher` (sung by Surinder
Shinda) includes the first ever performance on an Asian song by a
mainstream MC. Kofi B is the name, famous for his work with Sun City,
Shake It Up! and MC Creed`s Vocal Fusion. The remix pulls together the
two most well known Asian MC`s on their joint debut. If you loved Trix
MC on RDB`s album and MC Metz from `The Lick` then this is a must. The
tune is being played in the UK on Panjab Radio, Star FM, Sunrise Radio,
Clubasia, Radio XL, BBC Three Counties, Asian Network, Sabras, Asian
Sound Radio and other local BBC networks. Non-UK customers will be able
to check out the audio clips available on our site!! The sound of
Panjabi Hit Squad represents the soundtrack to inner city life in
multi-racial Britain today, merging UK Garage with the best of US Hip-Hop, a
musical hybrid that is as applicable to desi youth in Jackson Heights, NYC
as in Birmingham UK. `Dil Chura Liya` mixes Hindi vocals with sweet
R`n`B, while `Pao Bhangra` takes you from Ludhiana folk through `Dirty
South` Hip-Hop.
