REFRAIN I'm gonna sit back, Front, and let the style hit you Takes a second two seconds before the switch flew Proper game deeper than the gain Reaching to your brain Featuring a vein Before the bug bit you Who can question the quality and the nth degree Studied patterns before check out my melody Re-applied with a cool, calm mastery Fools fall faster than who has gone past the peak VERSE Most times, be in the mood to just slide, by Rimshot let the rides ride My my, what a scene, seen? as we drive by RacecaR keeps the eyes high Nice vine, nice vibe leads to a nice time Best believe, it's the right kind Slim spot, we slipping in, high like the tides rise Get in where you fit in, left or right side Drums drop crisp as a fine dry white wine all in all that's a nice nine Tight lines with a loose feeling open like sky Open like minds of like minds REFRAIN I'm gonna sit back, Front, and let the style hit you Takes a second two seconds before the switch flew Proper game deeper than the gain Reaching to your brain Featuring a vein Before the bug bit you Who can question the quality and the nth degree Studied patterns before check out my melody Re-applied with a cool, calm mastery Fools fall faster than who has gone past the peak VERSE Skills skills...more or less it's words No small games involved y'all we bless and verb--> Watch you fall, frame revolves It's less the curb and more than clouds, touch past the hints and blurbs Tints and curves, no matter the tense and nerves, Since it's served colder than the bench and herbs Convinced? We're sure you'll vibe on it pinch and serve Superb word worded pure, the print was cured See, change is good not the allure of glam Forgot the glitz, we shift to third my mans Agreed? take the lead, lead, succeed, and breathe---> Touchdown like black thought and we shall proceed Proceed and continue We shall proceed and continue to rock the mic right REFRAIN I'm gonna sit back, Front, and let the style hit you Takes a second two seconds before the switch flew Proper game deeper than the gain Reaching to your brain Featuring a vein Before the bug bit you Now who can question the quality and the nth degree Studied patterns before, check out my melody Reapplied with a cool, calm mastery Fools fall faster than who's gone past the peak REPRISE Distance indifferent to this limit advance and enhance to quit gimmicks The band glad we had chance to hit spinach (From) The bandstand to fat stance we fit in it -Instance and inference to this tenant Last lap and grabbed track to just split it The grandstand we can't land till it's fitting The clan stands, the path grand fill this minute-*(for the live, not on album) REFRAIN I'm gonna sit back, Front, and let the style hit you Takes a second two seconds before the switch flew Proper game deeper than the gain Reaching to your brain Featuring a vein Before the bug bit you Now who can question the quality and the nth degree Studied patterns before, check out my melody Reapplied with a cool, calm mastery Fools fall faster than who's gone past the peak

about

Chicago-born MC RacecaR started rhyming at the end of the 90s. After more than 10 years of touring and recording in the US, he moved to France in 2010 and started a whole new musical life. With both knockout performances and acclaimed featurings with Soul Square, DJ Suspect & Doc TMK, Sax Machine, Blanka, Mattic, or Chinese Man Records artists Son Of A Pitch and Taiwan MC, RacecaR is one of the most in-demand hip hop MCs in France.

Grant Phabao is the in-house producer and sound engineer for the French label Paris DJs. After pumpin' house hit singles for the Pro-Zak Trax label at the end of the 90s he started producing dub and reggae. After releasing albums with Jamaican legends Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger, The Jays or The Silvertones, and remixes for the whole planet, from George Clinton to Alice Russell, from David Byrne to Shawn Lee, from Jurassic 5 to The Beta Club… he started producing African music, working with the likes of Ebo Taylor, musicians from Fela's Egypt 80, Antibalas, The Souljazz Orchestra, Brownout or Franck Biyong.

RacecaR & Grant Phabao met at Paris DJs' studio, thanks to an introduction from hip hop activist Miska with whom the French label has been doing hip hop-themed compilations this year. They decided to try something new together. Grant Phabao had never produced any hip hop artist before. And RacecaR had never tried to write and record on afrofunk or reggae music in the past. So they planned to produce 4 new tunes together, and blend RacecaR's unmistakable flow with Phabao's unique take on deeply funky African and Jamaican grooves.

'Return Of The Dig-Fu' is the first of those four productions, boldly subtitled 'Hip Hop Meets Afrofunk', it's a 'Let's play it again' versus ' I need this for my set' kind of tune. With rhymes evoking the digger's lust for the rare groove in vinyl in inside all of us, this first single from Grant Phabao & RacecaR is an unstoppable afro-funk-hip-hop monster that should let every listener wondering what's gonna come next from the crazy minds of this smoking duo.
