Handpicked by London’s Ramson Badbonez, this new album contains eight instrumentals taken from the original version of “Lead by Example” which dropped in 2021 again through New Dawn Records, his debut release as a producer.
In what was one of the most impressive introductions to the production world witnessed for many years, influences of original funk, soul, rare groove and jazz are clear and fused together into a soundtrack which draws on both the classic and modern eras.
A powerful combination of eclectic beats originally complimented by the highest calibre lyricism from a trans-Atlantic line up of guest featured artists rarely seen standing shoulder to shoulder together on the one record. A stellar billing which included Reks, Skyzoo, the late Blacastan, Recognize Ali, Moka Only, Ruste Juxx, Dizzy Dustin, Johaz (Dag Savage), Sleep Sinatra, Tru Trilla, Juxx Diamondz, Justo the MC and British heavyweights Jehst, Micall Parknsun, Joker Starr, Truemendous, MysDiggi, Cyclonious, Phoenix da Icefire, King Kashmere all unleashing their full verbal artillery, with Ramson himself still showcasing his own lyrical prowess on selected tracks.
Now the backdrop’s been made available for the first time, feast your ears to these straight bangerz. Ramson got skillz on the boards, no doubt....
