In case you didn't already know, Big Toast has steadily made a name for himself on the UK hip-hop circuit over recent years. From helping to grow notable independent label Revorg Records, as part of critically acclaimed rap troupe TPS Fam, to a burgeoning solo discography, and most recently as part of British mega-group Gatecrasherz, he's certainly been stacking up quite the discography.
Diehard fans of independent hip-hop had much to be hyped about when Starch Records first announced the collaboration of label founders Ill Move Sporadic, and rising underground heavyweight soloist Tenchoo, back in 2015. Consisting of Ben 81 and One Boss, IMS have quickly gained a reputation as some of the most promising hip-hop producers the UK has to offer. A reputation earned from a slew of well received releases over recent years, which have undoubtedly helped expose some of the finest emerging MC's in the UK right now.
This is an exclusive new track taken from Big Toast's forthcoming Wedding Fund EP. Big Toast, TPS Fam's grumpy old man, is getting married (somehow) and to try pay for a few sausage rolls and frozen party snacks he plans to release a solo project called The Wedding Fund EP.
Drug Corpse sees IMS teaming up with new vocal collaborators such as; Cappo, Geebag, TPS FAM, More1, Cor Stadik, Deeflux and Efeks, as well as collaborations with long-time associates Joey Menza, Theme, Oliver Sudden and more. All chosen for their individuality style and incredible artistic abilities.
With Ill Move Sporadic (Neil Cage & Ben81) already creating a buzz over their release of The Magnetic Mixtape, back in September of last year, the UK producers make a triumphant return to the scene, this time teamed with emcee, and fellow Londoner Joey Menza, to bring us the follow-upĀ album Alpha Coda.
