Mike Skinner and Jammer Turned the Punk Venom of Slaves' "Cheer Up London" into a UK Rap Monster

All that punk venom is still there, but now it's spurting out in slow motion.

UK punk lads Slaves already showed their grime and rap credentials last week when they covered Skepta's "Shutdown" in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, so it's not totally unexpected to hear how good their vocals sound on this Mike Skinner remix alongside Jammer.

Their single, "Cheer Up London", started life as a seething middle finger towards city boys and office bosses, but with Skinner and Jammer on the production it's mutated into a throbbing UK rap track with distorted horns and enough bass to make your rib cage rattle like a text message. All that punk venom is still there, but now it's spurting out in slow motion.

Check out the premiere on Noisey.
