Ep.235 - #UKBHM 2023: So Solid Crew

UK Garage had a special moment from 99-02, it seemed that every notable Garage track was hitting the charts. But only one track hit no.1 and that was "21 Seconds" by So Solid Crew. They could've easily been a one-hit wonder but with their sheer numbers as a group, two albums and a whole lot of retrospective influence, So Solid will forever be noted in the history of Black British Music.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:09) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)Earl x Alchemist - VOIR DIRE (Streaming Version)Nines - Crop Circle 3Babyfxce E - The X TapeRJ Mr LA x DJ Drama - OMMIO GrillzElcamino x BSF - They Spit On JesusMary Lattimore - Goodbye, Hotel ArkadaDrake - For All The DogsSwank & 9th Wonder - Random as Fuck, Part 2King Draft & 9th Wonder - West End RoseA-F-R-O - '97 Machinefemdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 1femdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 2Otis Mensah - WINTERSKINBishop Nehru - Mysteries of InitiationDaniel Villarreal - Lados BP Money & Whiney - Streets, Love & Other StuffTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:54)They Don't Know - (45:41)2nd Verse - (56:41)Lighter Note - (1:08:15)Thanks for listening.
