— UK Hip-Hop artist, Dirty Dike follows his February single, “Bucket Kicker”, with his latest track, “Just Dreamin’”.
Dirty Dike is a rapper and producer of the UK who is obsessed with discovery, adventure, debate, and late nights either immersed in derelict bliss or surrounded by glitching and bleeping synthesizers in his studio. Still he’s significantly more obsessive in his pursuit of writing, recording and producing music that extends beyond the limits of any of the aforementioned. For proof, look no further than his follow-up to the raucous“Bucket Kicker” — dropped earlier this year — “Just Dreamin’”, his second single release on his own Melonskin Records imprint.
The new track “Just Dreamin’” sees the rapper re-unite with Melonskin Records co-founder & producer extraordinaire Pete Cannon. Cannon brings forth a slice of dense soulful production laden with guitar strums and vocal samples, setting the scene perfectly for Dirty Dike to set it ablaze with his classic off-the-wall cadence and trademark wit.
Having spearheaded the resurgence of UK Hip Hop over the last decade as one of the key players of the High Focus Records movement — through which he was instrumental in bringing about now household names Rag’n’Bone Man & Ocean Wisdom to the fore — Dirty Dike has firmly solidified his place as one of the modern day pioneers of the genre, whether it be on the mic or with his stellar production work.
Be on the lookout for more groundbreaking music from Dirty Dike as he embarks on the newest chapter of his career following the launch of his own record label — a record label founded on the mission statement, “ to offer artists TOTAL freedom to create and to give the fans what they want, in abundance”.
