Bristol's finest -The Allergies, are back with a phenomenal new double A-side offering with both cuts featuring the instantly recognisable vocal skills of Andy Cooper - one of the brains behind US undergound Hip Hop legends Ugly Duckling.
Rock Rock is the most tongue twisting lyrical showcase you've heard since Blackalicious penned Alphabet Aerobics. Andy Cooper's audacious rap races through an impressive array of language without missing a beat. And speaking of beats - The Allergies are well up to the task of providing the necessary musical foil to accommodate such a vocal with their DJ and production skills bringing all manner of funk to the table.
Golden age Hip Hop is order of the day in the second track- Blast Off. With more smooth vocal skills from Cooper, a bouncing groove and dope turntable cuts and samples taking you back to the early 90's heyday of the genre.

I was having a real rough time of life, at the time that this dropped. I wasn't dieing or anything. But we all have bad times, you know? I had (still do have) a lot of time for these two gents. As soon as I gave the album a whirl, I got back a bit of the energy I had when someone first put me onto Music for the Mature B-Boy, many moons back by then. The record genuinely helped me get through a rough time, and I'll always owe Abs and Format a beer for that.
Cheers for that, dudes. Ordinary Human
