Generally Speaking, the long awaited debut album by roughneck Forest Gate MC duo,
Newham Generals, is the knockout artistic punch that East LondonÆs grime scene has
always threatened but previously failed to deliver. Lighting up the bleak midwinter
of 2008-9 like a flaming Swan Vesta in a petrol-tank, itÆs exactly the kind of
incendiary musical thrill that tough economic times are supposed to produce. If youÆ
ve seen the hard-hitting virals for Bell Dem Sl*gs or Violence, or the nightmare
inducing video for the single Head Get Mangled û shot on location in a derelict
mental hospital in Epsom û youÆll have some idea of the kind of 18 rated sonic
rampage thatÆs on the agenda here. But in backing up the uncompromising lyrical
stance youÆd expect of tracks with those kinds of titles with production that moulds
their proud home grown heritage of Reggae sound systems, Drum æNÆ Bass, UK garage,
Grime and maybe even a little bit of Hackney æArdkore into a fearsome new hybrid
which no-one yet has a name for, Newham Generals have created an album with the power
to move feet and minds.
