Craze and Dj Ride define legendary in the realm of DJing. With the technical skills and championships to back it up, they’re always ready for battle. Their latest release personifies this to a T, starting with the title ‘Who Wan Test Us’. The sample which gives the track its namesake was pulled out of Craze’s stash of battle lines. As he tells us he’s “still on his b-boy shit!” With Dj Ride hot off the release of his Slow Roast backed Meraki EP, it’s only right that he connected with the Slow Roast boss for a banger. As Craze explains, “‘Who Wan Test Us’ was a collab we started around the time he sent in his Meraki EP for Slow Roast. He had sent me an idea and I just went IN!!! It got that futuristic boom bap flava that we both love and shit bangs!”
As soon as you press play, it’s clear Craze isn’t exaggerating, this definitely BANGS. From the dystopian sci-fi horns, to the computerize flourishes, hip hop groove and the face-scrunchingly filthy drops, this one hits in all the right spots. “When I’m at the studio the number one goal is to have fun and do something I’m proud of it. Also my focus nowadays is to make tracks I can play on my sets, so this fits perfectly, it got the hip hop/beats/halftime vibes, it’s a great crossover between our hip hop and bass background. I hope people like it and catch all the details we put together,” Dj Ride tells us.
Combining futuristic flavour, bass heavy filth and an underlying hip hop swagger makes ‘Who Wan Test Us’ an absolute slapper. If you’re feeling the latest, you’re in luck as Craze tells us, “I want people to expect more of this vibe on Slow Roast …. I wanna be the “Night Bass” for this vibe in the US and all over the world.” We’re certainly here for it. Stream ‘Who Wan Test Us‘ below.
