True Tiger and P Money talk Slang Like This

“Show me the money!” shout fans before P Money arrives on stage and it’s not hard to see why there is such excitement for this South London Grime MC, from the hard-hitting Anthemic with dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man to Slang Like This with True Tiger. Releasing only a few tracks of their own, where quality has undeniably been preferred over quantity, the Tigers have produced and remixed for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Kelly Rowland and the fresh talent Maverick Sabre.

Continuing on with the theme of their production for Professor Green’s Jungle, True Tiger have chosen the urban culture for their second single Slang Like This. The song centres around colloquialisms used in London and the UK, P Money raps, “Safe, you get me, brederin, cous….” While some may argue the lyrics are simplified, it shows originality in a way no other track has encapsulated and packaged Urban life to more of a mainstream, “Vevo” market in this way. The video is shot in a London estate and shows people of different ages and races using the slang, showing that words like “safe” and “blud” can unite. As P Money explains “All the suit wearing guys in cities can't stand us / they don't understand us when we speak in slang like this,” misunderstood?

All in all, a gritty, powerful track, dishonourably underrated and shows how dubstep can incorporate and cross genres with style and edge in a way that other categories struggle.
