Approved: Queens English (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 29 June 2009
As their MySpace declares, Queens English are not your typical hip-hop outfit. Instead of dealing with ‘guns’ and ‘bitches’, their lyrics focus on the far more middle class problems of lazy friends, smoking weed and girls. So drugs and ‘bitches’ then. The group consists of Sherlock, Leon Rhymes, Source, Something Else and Pikey Esquire, which translates to Has, Leon, Jess, Tom and Tom, or two MCs, a singer, a DJ and a beatboxer. Their music flits from rolling, rapid fire Foreign Beggars inspired tracks such as ‘Focus’ through to mellower and almost absurdly summery numbers like ‘Sally’s House’, which makes you wish you were their mates and could go round for tea. QE are a wonderfully diverse and entertaining act and a great addition to the blooming underground UK hip hop scene. Check out ‘Focus’ and ‘Sally’s House’ on their MySpace page for a taste of what to expect.
