Acts such as New Flesh and Gamma in many ways were ahead of their time with the sound they were putting out at the start of the decade and the end of the last. Although they didn't always hit home, the vision was certainly there and both of them should definitely be counted amongst the pioneers of the type of sounds we include here at Chrome Kids. One of the key members of both groups Juice Aleem has just dropped his his debut album (surely not?!) Jerusalaam Come and from what we've heard it seems that producer Part 2 in particular has finally grown into his sound and can rightly take his place at the forefront of the current scene.

The album launch parties in London (13th August @ Gramophone) and Birmingham (22nd August, Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath) will feature guest slots from the likes of Yarah Bravo, Triple Darkness, Cipher from Moorish Delta, Blackitude and Mad Flow and the London show will be hosted by Roots Manuva.

Also just caught this over at Media Contender a second ago and had to pass it on in case any of you guys missed it, and yes this is a collaboration not just a bootleg remix.
