Various Artists

The Royalty EP is the debut collaboration between Baltimore’s premier club label since 1994, Unruly Records, and the youngest in charge, T&A Records (the T&A is for Tittsworth & Ayres). Club king DJ Technics sets it off with a brand new update on the classic Lil Jon “What” Bmore staple, juicing it up with regal horns and synths. Tittsworth ups the ante with a rowdy remix of MOP’s classic, and Baltimore OG Scottie B flips Dilla-era Tribe Called Quest, cleverly swinging the tempo down from club to hip-hop and back up to club. On the B side, brick city’s DJ Tameil smooths it out, chopping Kelly Price and infusing her with a bit of ESG. Birmingham’s Bamabounce, no stranger to T&A Records, mashes Say Wut’s horns into an insane fight anthem, urging you to “punch em in the f**cking face.” DJ Ayres takes the same vocals and chops the hell out of Slayer’s evil guitars, creating quite possibly the hardest club record of all time!
