Taking the spotlight of himself, Madman the Greatest delivers a catalogue of recordings from fresh, talented and inspiring artists that have entered through the doors of his sound laboratory, GR8-1 Music Lab.  

Mixing between the sounds of Alternative Hip Hop and R&B, he introduces the world to the associates that helped shaped the sound he is known for.  

Appearances from Mr FX and Ruff MP who are also the founding member of the Playaz Cliq Group; Foxina Belluci; DJ Zimm Zimmah; Cecil Foster; & Victa Von Duche

The project primarily floats from the genre of Urban & Rhythmic Contemporary, taking influence from Dancehall; Latin, Pop & Rap Music as the basis of its overall sound.  

Where songs like ‘C to the L I Q & ‘Got Me Watching’ head for that Caribbean sounds over dancehall; ‘Love you back’ brings an 808 kick driven love song from the smooth vocals of Foxina Belluci whilst ‘Mess with Us’ from Ruff MP gets busy with a straight Boom bap rap record. 

Each recording delivers its own definitive place throughout 34 tracks of that Madman the Greatest infectious sound.

- Product Info -

Delivering his official double dose of verbal warfare, the beat-maker brings a two-part collection of recordings which were solely and exclusively created at the GR8-1 Music Lab. 

 

Part 1 of the collection features guest vocals from long time collaborators Ruff MP & Cecil Foster.  This is what he considers his lyrical showcase based on the perception of a determined and undeterred MC.  

 

Mainly driven in the direction of Alternative Hip Hop, he combines the sounds of synthesizers with raw boom bap drums chopped in his signature style of stomping kicks and snapping snares.  

 

Adding inspiration from the culture he grew up in, he symbolises his love for reggae and dancehall culture by creating two records purposely as a tribute.   ‘Moving on me’ and ‘Back it on me’ brings out his youthful experiences of being around Jamaican and Caribbean sounds that was played constantly in his household by both his parents.

 

Part 2 is what he considers his lyrical showcase based on the perception of his natural male persona.   Putting aside his competitive and defensive ego, the artist wanted to deliver a variety of topics that displayed his human side.   Self-progression, music admiration and the old time favourite subject of Love can be found through this 17 self-produced track collection.

 

Unlike Part 1, he explores into other areas of sound taking inspiration from Latin Music; Afrobeats; Classical and Electronica as he didn’t want to become a one-dimensional MC and knows that love is an area not many can conquer without over or under selling sex. Mr FX is the only collaborator on this collection featuring on two recordings, Hip Hop Rebel & MF.

 

Raw beats & an unapologetic flow makes the artists go full throttle over 15 self-built tracks.

 

*** The edited version contains ‘Touch you Again’ instead of MF.

- Product Info -

Considered the official foundation album for Playaz Cliq Recordings, Madman the Greatest and DJ Zimm Zimmah (formally known as Alta Egoz X) reincarnates the now obsolete Nuthin’ but Skills album as Finally Finished.  Anybody who remembers the first version will undoubtedly be tempted to compare the two. 

 

Whilst the original project delivers the raw essence of history that built the blueprint for the Playaz Cliq sound, this version serves as a reminder of the label’s humble beginnings.

 

Led by the vocals of DJ Zimm Zimmah, Madman the Greatest serves as both the primary producer and supporting artist trading lyrics on 7 out of 14 tracks of the tracks.  Primarily developed as an Alternative Hip hop album, there are so many different styles that make up this release. 

 

Inspired by Chiptune; Synthwave; Industrial, Latin Music, Drum ‘n’ Bass and House, this mismatch of sounds somehow come together glued by the vocals from the duo. They both take you on a journey of raw lyrics on songs like Industry Takeover and On my own right through to Girl songs like ‘No Girl Like you’ and ‘Show you Love’.  

 

Both ‘No Girl Like You’ and ‘On My Own’ gets the additional production treatment from M Giggy and Billy Dazzler acting as bonus tracks on the release.

- Product Info -

A journey is worth taking is one made without plans.  So for the instrumentalist, Madman the Greatest was no stranger to exploring through his mind of creative ideas.  

What makes this unique is exhibition of the raw craft that make up his trademark sound.  As expected, the energy flourishes across the speakers of his times perfecting his instrumentations with orchestral sounds, hip hop drums and filtered bass.

At the time of 95bpm beats, the attitude of being alternative began from his admiration for the Steinberg Cubase software. 

Inspired heavily by Erick Sermon; DJ Scratch and Trackmasters, the artist wanted to make music that represents him as an individual creator. 

Panned over 3 Volumes (making this 46 tracks), you may not like everything but you will understand the how far he has developed through his creative journey.

- Product Info -

When Madman the Greatest & M Giggy decided to create an EDM album, what they imagined is not what they got.  Whilst they was aiming for a commercial release, they created a bass driven monster that has become the foundation album for the! No Bling. Just Bang! Division. 

Inspired by UK Garage and what later becomes Grime, this is a very energetic alternative to the infectious sound that dominated the late 90s.

Many of the tracks come for their original collection called The Transmission which was very forward in time.  Tracks like Bedazzled and Boom Selection featuring Linniman really pushed the limitation of their creative ideas. 

The combination that was just a simple idea has become the blue print to the labels approach to EDM/house music.
