MCD - OKAY "I don't feel no MC like I feel MCD..." Rodney P & Skitz "Dedication" "Big up to all those who came before me, Rodney P, Bionic and MCD..." Fallacy & Fusion "Groundbreakers" In 2002 word was out that MCD is back? And there was the underground smash hit "love thing / biters" to prove it. His album was to follow in early 2003, but the label that should have brought it out, went bankrupt just then. MCD is in the rap game since 1985, going by the names of MCD, 2xDef and Silent Eclipse. He is a vocalist and producer on the same level as the best known UK Hip Hop and Garage or Grime artists out there; yet a string of bad luck has made sure that only a handful of his tunes actually got released, leaving him mostly unknown outside of London. The people that know MCD and hold him in highest regard, are people like Rodney P, DJ Skitz, Roots Manuva, Fallacy, Skinnyman? matter of fact, just about every big name on the scene highly rates D's talent. In 2006 the UK scene is big, maybe bigger than it's ever been, - yet still nowhere near the commercial might of the US Hip Hop industry. It's an old story, but to this day, the major labels in this industry still have very little faith in UK talent. This leaves room for small labels to bring out big acts like MCD and big tunes like OKAY! Mouthwatering Records are proud to release the EP "OKAY" by MCD, featuring Roots Manuva, Tubby T, Skitz, Michelle Gayle, Baby Chan, Skeme, MC Intenz, Million Dan, Jemstone and Neeko. OKAY is a big party tune in a Grime and Ragga style, featuring a host of known and lesser-known fresh talent from the UK, including the incredible female Ragga vocalist Baby Chan. This is a big tune that is bound to set the roof on fire! The EP features four tracks, including a huge Electro-House remix of OKAY by Mekon (Wall of Sound), the track "Prince of Arabia" co-produced by DJ Skitz, featuring MC Intenz of the infamous Burry Crew and the brilliant tune "Serious", co-produced by Roots Manuva, in a totally fresh style ? somewhere between Hip Hop, Reggae and Electro. The featurings on this tune are illustrious: Tubby T, - the UK Reggae singer of the moment, R&B star and actress Michelle Gayle alongside the one and only Roots Manuva. The EP OKAY is a taster of the full-length album by MCD, which will be released on Mouthwatering Records by the end of this year. Expect big things!!
