"Question: boy can you add up? The equation of you plus me equals nada"
Most know her for winning a Mercury and a couple of BRITs for that song with the infuriatingly catchy chorus ('Ms Dynamite-ee-ee...') and disappearing. This really isn't fair: in my opinion she is the best Female Garage MC of all time, actually scrap that, the best garage MC of all time and she deserves more recognition for this. She's back with a new single, Sticky produced Bad Gyal, which echoes back to her mindblowing debut, BOOO!, also produced by Sticky.
So here are my personal favourite Dynamite penned tunes:
Despite the cheesy intro to the video ("Why they Booin'?!" "Cos this choons heavy bredwin!"), the bass drop is undeniably one of the biggest in UKG. Hear this on a big system and the subs risk your dental health.
If this was played to kids as a replacement for Government-issued 'Say No to HIV' posters, it's likely that Jeremy 'PUT SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT' Kyle would be out of a job. Here, Dynamite deals with the ins and outs of sexual health without sounding the slightest bit preachy. The beat from Menta is also silly huge.
On more of a Grime flex here, the b-side to It Takes More displays more of Dynamite's impeccable flow.
New single Bad Gyal is a return to form for Ms Dynamite: she's back with Sticky here and also back to roots with her flow. It's no suprise that Bashment/Funky DJs The Heatwave have been all over this. Catchy, but still coming ridiculously hard. A torrent of 'She still got it!'/'I never wrote her off, I promise!' talk to follow...
