basilika

In a few years Elephant & Castle will probably be like Angel. Billions of pounds of regeneration money to create a chi-chi make-over for the most stubbornly ‘earthy’ parts of zone 1.

It’s therefore quite possible that future generations will have no idea about the significance of Roots Manuva giving his record the moniker ‘Walworth Rd Dub’. The character of the place will be lost behind a facade of alfresco dining and all makeover money can buy.

It’s not all bad-god knows the place could do with a lick of paint (and a demolition or ten)-but for now lets  love the place for what it is; a multicultural mixing pot, a hundred different nationalities all doing their own thing, hustling and bustling trying to make an honest (or otherwise) living on the unforgiving streets.

It’s one of those tracks that is an anthem for rudebwoys and city bankers alike-anyone who wants to lay their claim to a piece of authentic south london attitude. It’s almost too big a tune to play, so I’ve added an extra layer of classic to give it that basilika style edge.
