Dabbla unveils the 10th single from Death Moves with the video for 'Same Old Me' "It's funny how they say that I've changed but I know that I'm the same old me" Stream 'Same Old Me' here Potent Funk are proud to unveil the visual for 'Same old Me' produced by the mighty Hashfinger, and directed by SpinCity, lifted from Dabbla's second solo LP Death Moves which is out now.  "I've dug deep and it's cut deep but it's all kinetic, we don't deal with materialism or cosmetics, it's like the Gods they ain't happy it's getting awfully epic, these little d*ckheads are slipping and looking more pathetic..." For the 10th single from his Death Moves album, Dabbla delivers a healthy dose of brutally honest poetry fused with a candid sense of self deprecating dark humour. The menacing production works as a crispy base as the UK veteran sprinkles his spicy ingredients to prove why he's one of the realest out. Video release date: Friday January 25 Album 'Death Moves' out now Order 'Death Moves' here "Dabbla's flow is always-formidable - sharp and confrontational." Complex "[Baxter's] strength is finding beauty in dead ends." The Wire "Dabbla is simply one of the best around'' Romesh Ranganathan "I'm well pleased to be on the album...it's a future classic." Rag'n'Bone Man London MC Dabbla releases his new album Death Moves, dropping its title track as his latest single. A raised eyebrow at the scene's most underwhelming opponents, 'Death Moves' is a statement of superiority, with Dabbla's trademark cynicism and deft double-time at centre stage. The album features appearances from Rag N Bone Man, PENGSHUi's Illaman, Jam Baxter, Eva Lazarus and Dabbla's grime family LDZ. Follow up single 'Tweeters', which features award-winning soul vocalist Rag N Bone Man, is due for release soon. About Dabbla North London MC Dabbla spent his formative years spitting on London's legendary pirate radio stations Freeze FM and Rinse FM, his youth rooted in a love of jungle and garage. His first formal steps into rap were with crew London Zoo, alongside Dubbledge. The collective were catapulted into success after dropping single 'Lips 2 Da Floor', which caught the attention of John Peel and become one of grime's earliest and most enduring viral hits. Dabbla's early mix of influences imprinted heavily on his first LP - Year of the Monkey - which landed on High Focus in 2016. Featuring a cocktail of raw grime, trap and boom bap, the album debuted an eclecticism which has become his signature. As an artist, his lyrics pull from the mess and madness of London's underground, and from a sometimes-contrary passion for Eastern Philosophy. The success of Year of the Monkey launched Dabbla onto festival stages of Outlook, Boomtown and Glastonbury, and fuelled a number of collaborations, including with Foreign Beggars. Death Moves - released 1st October on Potent Funk - is a harder, more chaotic sophomore effort, with chief production duties handled by Cult Mountain producer Sumgii. Additional beats come courtesy of GhostTown (Jehst/Foreign Beggars), Pete Cannon (Hospital Records) and Dirty Dike (High Focus), amongst others. About Death Moves When he started recording the tracks that now make up Death Moves, Dabbla wasn't intending to make an album at all – rather, a series of singles accompanied by "the sickest videos [he] could make". The album's title was one of the first components to stick. He says: "At the start, it just sounded like a really fucking cool name. I love Kung Fu... I respect the philosophy and the art form more than anything. It demands the highest discipline and decades of practice, dealing with pain and pushing thresholds, breaking bones and beating personal bests." "But that name then started influencing what I was writing about. Something just clicked when we shot the video for FUTD in Death Valley. Death Moves, to me, means the death of a lot of myself. To make this record, I had to kill a lot of pride, and drop kick a lifetime's worth of shame, confusion, fear, anger and ugliness in the face." With a heady mix of cut-throat grime and trap, and more mellow hip hop, Death Moves reflects Dabbla's belief that "if Kung Fu has taught me anything, it's you can't have the hard style without the soft." "Amongst all the flying kicks and throat strikes in my music you may also be served a truthful, loving and gentle perspective on existence. That's the balance. That's my style."
