Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Hollie Cook,P Digsss (Shapeshifter), Gardna, J Man & Parly B – all
masters in their own field who bring an undeniable level of quality to what is
already a timeless record. From sweet sounds to plentiful low-end, the
collaborative efforts on Pound For Pound results in some seriously boozy,
banging joints.
We’re all aware that The Nextmen know a good groove having been at the
forefront of UK hip hop for two decades. Releasing their own albums, setting
clubs and festivals ablaze and working with everyone from ZTrip, Public Enemy,
Wilkinson, The Pharcyde, Ms Dynamite, Groove Armada, Plan B, Fat Freddy’s Drop,
Tippa Irie, Cutty Ranks and a million more, this duo are the doyens of the
dancefloor. Nine-piece Gentleman’s Dub Club’s live shows are a legendary mix of
unbridled talent, frenzied fun and infectious energy, reflecting their desire
for a damn hot dubbed-out paradise of pure celebration. Their studio albums carry
that same air of cool, embracing sounds so wild and free that their name is now
synonymous with the dub scene worldwide.

When two iconic outfits enter the studio, the results are waited for with
baited breaths; luckily for us, The Nextmen vs Gentleman’s Dub Club exceed all
expectations, and then some. This is a collaboration that has produced ‘Pound
For Pound’ – a record that is in equal parts filled with big tunes, easy on the
ears and will lovingly linger on many, many soundsystems for the foreseeable
future. DUB-ble the trouble!
