London's new wave of young MC's are represented in the form of contributions from Victory Lap affiliates Dee TDL & JULESWEAT. Two versatile writers and MC's from East London, influenced by the US underground just as much as they are UK GRIME & drill, with 'Sweat On The Set' also produced by julesweat himself.

Elsewhere, long time Frass FM all stars and label OG's DJ Milktray, Jon Phonics & Sivey (Soulection) help kick off the compilation reminding us why we fell in love with the label. All soaring top lines, hard hitting 140 edits, psychedelic footwork and blistering broken beat.
