Long Time is the latest offering from up-and-coming producer Mr Benn, probably best known for his releases on Leisure Recordings and mash-ups as Mr Blennd on his own Rhythm'n'Booze imprint. With a first-rate blend of reggae grooves and the chunkiest of hip hop beats, Mr Benn is pushing forward that unmistakable Bristol sound.
A super-heavyweight hip hop/reggae hybrid, Long Time features one of the UK's finest rappers, Blak Twang alongside dancehall champion Blackout JA. Built around an infectious vocal hook, a rock solid riddim and a healthy dose of lazy brass action, it's perfect for those summertime parties we're all looking forward to. The vinyl release will feature two different vocal mixes and the instrumental version, plus two killer remixes from South Rakkas Crew and Yes King. Praise has already been flooding in from the likes of Rob Da Bank, Steinski, Daddy G, DJ Yoda, Jstar and DJ Shepdog.
