ABOUT THIS ITEM

First foray into straight up hip hop stylings by One-Handed Music, the label that brought you Bullion and Paul White. Tranqill (no U, two Ls) is a reclusive South London producer and MC who tells brutal tales of street life with rare wit and panache. It’s like the first time you heard the Wu-Tang: raw, spontaneous, urgent paranoia that’s instantly compelling. "The Hidden Treasures" EP collects three jewels from his vast unreleased catalogue. "Chips & Cheese" serves as the ideal introduction as Tranqill lays all to waste over a perfect loop. If you haven’t already rearranged your top 5 UK list by now, "Payroll" and the monstrous one-verse "Deadly Wintaz" will leave you gasping. Throw in the best remix Paul White has ever done, on "Payroll", and it’s a wrap. Except we’re not quite done yet … if you like your beats with room to breathe, the extra Paul White's 'Dirty Dub' version of "Payroll" is a monster, an explicit version of the track that first appeared on a super-limited white label 7” and Mary Anne Hobbs’ "Wild Angels" compilation. Also included are instrumentals for all other tracks.
