By Rishma • On What is New ,

MAXWELL D

The legendary grime/garage god­fath­er Max­well D has come through with anoth­er cer­ti­fied banger
‘Tap Out’ with the same deep deliv­ery and hard-hit­ting flow that ori­gin­ally cata­pul­ted him to fame in
2001. Fea­tur­ing US record pro­du­cer and song­writer, Ruwanga, the track is a con­tem­por­ary take on
Maxwell’s earthy, gar­age-infused style which harks back to the roots of grime and UK rap as we know
it.

Ori­gin­ally known for his 2001 vir­al hit ‘Ser­i­ous’ that instantly put him on the map as one of the first and
more tal­en­ted dance/rap artists com­ing out of Lon­don — the track is a clas­sic UK banger to this day
which you’ll still hear banging in the Lon­don clubs. Max­well also made a name for him­self for his
place in “Pay As You Go Car­tel” along­side fur­ther grime legends Wiley, DJ Tar­get, DJ Ace, Plague,
Geni­us and Gods Gift, who many cred­it as the ori­gin­al cre­at­ors of grime. The group gained a huge
under­ground fol­low­ing, res­ult­ing in chart top­ping hits such as their debut single ‘Cham­pagne Dance’.
Although the group ended up split­ting, Max­well has not stopped, hav­ing stints with UK national
treas­ure, Ms Dynam­ite and US mega star Ludac­ris on the one num­ber smash hit ‘South­ern
Hos­pit­al­ity’ as well as releas­ing yet anoth­er vir­al hit in 2009 with ‘Black­berry Hype’ that became a
cata­lyst for the Black­berry phone craze in all young teens. He’s also been fea­tured on the
soundtracks of vari­ous movies includ­ing the extremely suc­cess­ful Hol­ly­wood anim­a­tion ‘Ted’, starring
Mark Wal­berg and Mila Kunis.

As of recent Max­well has teamed up with Sharky Major’s Grime Original’s, recon­nect­ing with his OG
fam­ily of grime legends includ­ing Leth­al Bizzle, Ghetts, Jam­mer, Fumin, Wiley, Manga, Dj Target,
Rude Kid etc, get­ting involved in events and shows that show­case the true god­fath­ers of grime. He
also fea­tured on the offi­cial All­star Grime Ori­gin­als remix along­side Sharky Major, Manga, Fumin
and Bruza which did the rounds on socials going vir­al on influ­en­tial plat­forms like SBTV, Link Up TV
and GRM Daily, prov­ing as a suc­cess­ful trip down memory lane and show­ing that these icons still
have over­whelm­ing power in today’s climate.
Max­well D is com­ing through with all guns blaz­ing, and this track shows no signs of him slow­ing down
for his epic year ahead.
