Welcome to the South Easy
One of Brighton’s original and most successful Hip Hop crews, First Down smashed onto the scene with their Jaw Warfare 12″ in 1990, before undergoing a line up change and dropping their World Service LP in ’94. Emcees King Aroe (now massive on the graf scene), Korrekt & Baron Demus brought an uncompromised rawness to the mic booth, alongside production from Bluze and Indian Ropeman and cuts from DJ Hyste, and tracks like Ill Gotten Gains and Let The Battle Begin took no prisoners.
in 2008, the crew reformed briefly with the addition of yours truly, and put together a mixtape which included unreleased, rare and brand new material, but this tape never saw the light of day. Until now. The273.com are proud to be the first to unleash this beast of a mixtape into the world. And remember, rude boys lose if they ain’t rude enough.
Big ups to Ill Gotten Gains High Powered and Soundmakers for getting this shit together
