'Jah War' is an explosive collision of toxic ragga and filthy
grime. The first recorded meeting of The Bug's bombastic
bashment, and Flowdan's dancehall infected verbal
intimidation. The Bug (aka Kevin Martin) approached the
ruffneck rapper after being consistently blown away by the
lyricist's stand out live appearances with the UK's leading
Grime crew Roll Deep. Flowdan was invited to spit on a ten
strong MC clash put together by The Bug for Radio 1's Mary
Ann Hobb's Breezeblock show, and the baritone boom
electrified the raw, rugged, bass heavy backing tracks. The
pair instantly agreed to follow up the radio set with studio
work. 'Jah War' is the first of these intense collaborations.
The flip features Dubstep's heaviest producer and co-founder
of the infamous DMZ label/night, Loefah. Approaching the low
end specialist was easy choice, as Loefah and The Bug have
been running BASH, a monthly Dancehall/Dubstep club night at
Plastic People in London, since the beginning of 2006. Having
previously had material released on Aphex Twin's Rephlex, Kid
606's Shockout and Austria's Klein, 'Jah War' marks The Bug's
first release on Ninja Tune. Having been publicly praised by
such maverick's as Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Lamb, Massive
Attack, Jerry Dammers, Mark Stewart etc..., The Bug's follow
up album is sure to increase the pressure.
