Rizzle Kicks - Nasty

The rise of Rizzle Kicks in the UK has been phenomenal, the band managing to become bona fide pop stars playing gigs to sold-out screaming crowds of girls (and boys). But if you think their quick-fire delivery would be better suited to some old school hip-hop vibes rather than hanging round with Olly Murs and sampling the likes of Ed Sheeran and Jessie J then this new track will push your buttons. For non-album track Nasty sounds more in homage to Public Enemy (it's actually Nas)  than anything that might fancy its chances at being top of the pops. With Harley’s soft soulful vocals noticeably absent it’s left to Jordan to deliver Rizzle Kicks cheeky banter  “Guns are sexy but when I saw your mum was the only time I had a semi-automatic,” he raps. Naughty.

“Thought you guys lost it and went all commercial, safe to hear this,” comments one person on their Soundcloud player, showing that maybe snobbery is alive and well in every genre of music from pop to indie to hip-hop.
