Powercut Productions Presents: Natural Selection LP (PCP014) Artist: Steg G & the Freestyle Master Released: 29.05.2006 NATURAL SELECTION is the brand new l.p. from STEG-G & the FREESTYLE MASTER on POWERCUT PRODUCTIONS. After a year spent performing and recording from Glasgow to New York with people from 50 CENT to THE STREETS the album is finally unleashed for public consumption, 16 tracks deep with 3 bonus bangers NATURAL SELECTION can only be described as epic! With a rich pallette of sounds on view courtesy of the ever prolific production side of the team STEG-G, the l.p. see's FREESTYLE MASTER wax lyrical on subjects ranging from break-up's to mind control to temptation in his own inimitable way, the duo began recording the album days after FREESTYLE MASTER awoke from a diabetic coma in which his life hung in the balance and then to make matters more complicated a fire then proceeded to almost destroy STEG-G's studio and (priceless) vinyl collection but undaunted they put their heads down to create one of (if not THE) most original albums of 2006. Featuring the anthemic "SCHEMES ", the banging "ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR "and the inspirational "RISE UP " NATURAL SELECTION is filled with the type of variety the duo have become well-known for since they were part of groundbreaking Glasgow group POWER MOVE , both ex-breakdancers from the same crew STEG-G & the FREESTYLE MASTER'S roots in hip hop go deeper than a coal miners canary as one look at a c.v. that boasts performances alongside legends like GRANDMASTER FLASH, KOOL DJ HERC, MELLE MEL, GRANDMASTER CAZ and RUN-DMC testifies, when you place it beside the fact they have also hit the stage with BUSTA RHYMES, BLACK EYED PEAS, M.O.P. ,MOBB DEEP, 50 CENT and many many more you hopefully start to realise this duo have what it takes to open up your mind to something unique as one listen to NATURAL SELECTION should prove. Guest spots on the lp are filled by artists ranging from uk to u.s. with people like GRIDDY GRIMES of underground New York sensations GRIDLOCK FAM appearing alongside CYRUS from Birminghams SHADOWLESS crew on " MY CITY LIFE ", as well as those two heavyweights we get to see what many in Scotland have always thought would be the dream collaboration when MR JINX of SCOTLAND YARD fame joins FREESTYLE MASTER on the ferocious joint "WARRIORS ", also appearing are POWERCUT PRODUCTIONS stalwarts CAD & DAMAGED GOODZ on " WELCOME TO POWERCUT " and KIM WILSON on the outstanding " NEVER COMING BACK " on top of all that we have the first outing of new POWERCUT signees DARK RUMORS on the remix of " MY CITY LIFE " which also features Scottish emcees VERSE ONE & WEST.
