Grime legend, Manga Saint Hilare, released track ‘Dumping Again‘ on the 18th of July 2020. The single features veteran Footsie, and is available to stream on all platforms.
‘Dumping Again’ is a track that crackles with vintage grime sound. It combines a classic heavy baseline with gritty drum beat to create a snarling exhibition of raw Grime energy. Manga uses the track to comment on the current state of the Grime scene, slating artists that sell-out their sound for a quick payday. ‘Don’t let the little likes and comments go to your head‘ he exclaims, before claiming that he is ‘glad he’s not like none of them‘. Footsie’s feature bolsters the tracks bullishness. Grime royalty, due to his exploits with the Newham Generals, his characteristic flow adds an edge of stylistic superiority.
The track is a three-minute roller-coaster of Grime defiance and encapsulates Manga’s stance within the British rap scene. He contributed to the Grime’s golden age, as a member of the infamous Roll Deep crew. Big stars such as Wiley, Skepta and Dizzee Rascal commercialised their sound in pursuit of big cheques, as Manga clung to his roots. Therefore, the emcee has always been unwavering in his production of Grime music.
It has been a very prolific 2020 for Manga St Hilare. ‘Dumping Again’ is just the latest project in a year in which he released a 15-track album, named ‘Make It Out Alive’, and a project named ‘Interlude Deluxe‘. His stock is on the rise again, following Grime’s resurgence, and the waves of new material promise returns
‘Dumping Again‘ is worthy of the sweatiest Dance tent, or dingiest warehouse rave. Manga St Hilare, combined with Footsie, is poised to capitalise on Grime’s resurgence. The track itself encapsulates all the features of a grime classic. Heavy base, powerful drums and punchy, rhythmic wordplay combine to create a potent homage to genres boundless energy. Manga is on the verge of true grime royalty.
