Fool’s Gold Records FGR001: 18th June 2007
1. Control (Dirty / Clean / Instrumental)
“From the beach, to the lock, to club, to the grocery, Kid Sis run shit, don’t hold me”
2. Damn Girl (Dirty / DJ Gant-Man’s Juke Remix / Instrumental / Scratchapella)
“I pop the joke, you got the boos, when I rock the shows, you got the blues”
‘Control’ is like Missy Elliot’s workout tape with it’s crunching retro beats and shouts of “Touch them toes”. Kid Sister’s flow is so fast and furious that I can barely make out a single line, but the lyrics that I can hear are brilliant. ‘Damn Girl’ sounds like Kid Sister just layered her rhymes over the noise of a games-arcade (By that, I mean it’s ace). Best of all is DJ Gant-Man’s Remix, which ups the tempo of the vocal and adds on some minimal but funky beats, also the “L-L-L-L-Let it percolate” bits are so, so catchy. M.I.A. has got some competition.
