I'm not too sure what the sales figures for Giggs - Don't go there(feat B.O.B)are officially,but I hope he has done well enough to warrant another release as this is something which in some shape or form opens a door for another UK Artist to shine!
With Giggs coming from Peckham and B.O.B from Atlanta it made me think about my top UK/UK Collabs(no Wycliffe&Brian Harvey - does anyone remember just how rubbish that was?)any how I consider these to be some of the more classic US/UK Collabs(in other words they still sound hot).
1. Bronze and Black (feat Styles.P) - In the Ghetto,
I remember how this track took the streets by storm and worked wonders for Bronze and Black by cementing them as a separate entity in the wake of them leaving Eurogang.Styles.p dropped a gritty verse which went well with B&B and the chorus was tight(not too sure who sang the hook?)
2.Dizzee Rascal (feat BUN.B) - Wheres the Gs?,
This verse within itself was probably the highlight of the entire Dizze album(I'm not the biggest Dizzee fan in the world)Bun.B and Dizzee sounded cool together and their flows(crazy/mellow)complimented each other - a bit like outkast compliment each other.
3.Kray twinz(feat Lethal.B,Gappy Ranks & Twister)- what we do,Now this was a track to remember,Sick beat,Sick Verses,Sick Chorus and Twister(When he was as hot a fish grease)I cant say i have heard anymore from the Kray twinz but big up anyway!
4.Cassius Henry(feat Freeway)-The One,
This R&B track was produced by Kanye west and was the biggest UK club bangers ever,Freeways verse at the beginning wasn't the usual sweet boy R&B rap,It was thugged out and Cassius sounded at his best(not sure what Cassius.H is up to,big up anyway)
5.S.A.S(feat Cam'ron)- So free,
Rephan absolutely killed it with this beat and Mega,Mayhem and Cam'ron absolutely killed the beat,one hell of a US/UK collabo as it finds all 3 Artists at their prime and still sounds hot years later.
Have I missed anyone,What UK/US collaborations do you rate?
