Track on ‘On The Radar’: 'The Title' by Dabbla, produced by Miss Tofelees

Tell us the story behind the track:

Miss Tofelees: I had been wanting London Zoo to jump on a track for quite some time. It was then Dabbla who warmed to my beats and decided to do a track with me. His rapping is a lyrical feast for the starving fans passionate about good lyrics out there.

Dabbla: The track for me was a whole bunch of thoughts and emotions I've had or been having trying to find peace within oneself. Without getting all deep and carrying on with myself I'd just like to say its refreshing to receive such a well produced, soulful instrumental to spill my kinda ish onto. Don't know where Miss T finds her samples but she's got a serious ear and takes good care when putting this stuff together! MCs out there need to holla, get involved quick sharp and ask nicely for some beats before I tag em all up! Hot s**t for double 0-9 star!

What Farma said: More big tunes... Dabbla holds the mellow groove well and spits the bars nicely: "be a tree and bend with the wind". Clear and coherent!

Record Label: Sinoptic

Who you roll with: I am one half of the group Homeless Genius with 3Demons of Don't Talk to Strangers. I am also doing an album on Sinoptic records run by Exp and Super funk group Freyed Knot. I am also doing a lot of work with Spida Lee from Huddersfield.
