The legendary Bucktown duo took to the stage at the BRIX LDN in front of a hot intimate audience who were lively from the start to the end. The group sailed through a number classic cuts from their near 30 year discography.
We were gripped throughout. Hearing Tek & Steele flawlessly tear through almost 30 tracks in a mammoth 90 minute set including a smoke break (Reluctantly approved by the venue owner under duress from the crowd. lol)
Guests onstage included “Da Flyy Hooligan” “Ras Kass” and many other artists in attendance.
Smif-n-Wessun are a highly influential Hip Hop group and it was great to see traditional Hip Hop heads alongside a younger audience experiencing them live for the first time.
Certain cuts including their Hip Hop classic “Bucktown” were further enhanced with the brilliant addition of live Flute and Saxophone provided by their DJ “Radimo Sax”
*Side note. Considered as a “Veteran” Hip Hop fan who experienced hearing a lot of these 90’s classics when they were released, now hearing them again live alongside a new generation who weren’t even born in the 90’s Passionately rapping along to classics such as “Bucktown” says so much about the transcendant timelessness of some of our favourite Hip Hop cuts.
A wild 8.2 out of 10 (Would have benefited from a better PA Sound system)
