Ep.235 - #UKBHM 2023: So Solid Crew

<p>UK Garage had a special moment from 99-02, it seemed that every notable Garage track was hitting the charts. But only one track hit no.1 and that was "21 Seconds" by So Solid Crew. They could've easily been a one-hit wonder but with their sheer numbers as a group, two albums and a whole lot of retrospective influence, So Solid will forever be noted in the history of Black British Music.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (1:09) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)</p><ul> <li><strong>Earl x Alchemist - VOIR DIRE (Streaming Version)</strong></li> <li><strong><em>Nines - Crop Circle 3</em></strong></li> <li><strong>Babyfxce E - The X Tape</strong></li> <li><strong>RJ Mr LA x DJ Drama - OMMIO Grillz</strong></li> <li><strong>Elcamino x BSF - They Spit On Jesus</strong></li> <li><strong>Mary Lattimore - Goodbye, Hotel Arkada</strong></li> <li><strong>Drake - For All The Dogs</strong></li> <li><em>Swank &amp; 9th Wonder - Random as Fuck, Part 2</em></li> <li><em>King Draft &amp; 9th Wonder - West End Rose</em></li> <li><em>A-F-R-O - '97 Machine</em></li> <li><em>femdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 1</em></li> <li><em>femdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 2</em></li> <li><em>Otis Mensah - WINTERSKIN</em></li> <li><em>Bishop Nehru - Mysteries of Initiation</em></li> <li><em>Daniel Villarreal - Lados B</em></li> <li><em>P Money &amp; Whiney - Streets, Love &amp; Other Stuff</em></li> </ul><p>Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:54)<br>They Don't Know - (45:41)<br>2nd Verse - (56:41)<br>Lighter Note - (1:08:15)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
