Young Max and Pat Stash's careers in the business have
spanned just two and a half short years. In that time
though, their straight up, honest approach to their
trade (both producing and rapping) has had a pretty
significant impact on the scene. 2004's classic single
'For The Haters' (played 6 weeks running by Steve
Lamacq on BBC Radio 1) and the æFreakishly StrongÆ
album (ôa quality debut that confirms their status as
one of the most exciting hip-hop acts in the countryö
- Hip Hop Connection) created the buzz, and were
quickly followed by the cheeky white-label version of
J DIlla/Steve Spacek's 'Let The Dollar Circulate'
(reworked into 'Let The Pound Get Around' - which
gained the nod of respect from Mr Spacek himself). A
long list of energetic live performances followed,
playing at Cargo and Jazz Cafe in London, Manchester,
Edinburgh and everywhere in between.
A brief hiatus then ensued, with the Diggers locking
themselves away in a West Yorkshire studio in order to
complete their 'tricky second album', only to emerge 6
months later, all bleary eyed and pale, clutching the
fruits of their labour; 'The Pleasure Is All Mine'.
And it does not disappoint! 13 tracks of high quality,
honest hip hop music from 'Blighty's answer to Show &
AG!' (HHC), 'The Pleasure...' delivers a more
developed sound from the guys, displaying a
thoughtful, more mature approach to their music, but
still managing to retain that sense of humour that has
won them fans across the board.
The album features a host of guests too; DJ Woody (One
Self) shows why he's currently one of the UK's most in
demand DJs, cutting a banger of a break for the
perfect intro. Nostalgia 77 (Gilles Peterson's Jazz
Album Of The Year Winner) weighs in with a down-right
filthy low-slung groove on 'So Grown Up' and UK soul
wonder-girl Alice Russell gets the remix treatment on
'Hurry On Now'. Even label mate Rup pops up with a
brilliant, typically wildernessed-out guest verse on
'City To Sticks'.
