Stereo MC's is one of England's most successful hip hop acts. In 1992 the group broke through with the album Connected, of which the title track and Step It Up were also big club hits in the Netherlands. In recent years we have heard little from the Stereo MC's. Now finally there is new material from the group of rapper and eye-catcher Rob B. And once again the Stereo MCs combine the lazy, funky
… rhythms of hip-hop with the drunkenness of Britpop. The convincing title track and the brooding Breeze proves that this can still produce great dance music. It no longer sounds really surprising. But those who occasionally long for the nightlife of the early nineties will certainly appreciate Deep Down & Dirty. (MS)more
