The first track as a collective. Heskato, Benny C and Wheeler serve up the finest lyrics over a steaming hot funkified beat. Beat provided by the Gate's very own DJ Chrissy B One take. No edits. Raw talent.

We are the H.G.T. Rap collective. A UK based European outfit with ambitions to conquer the world. We want to take Hip Hop to new levels. We want collab
A balcony overlooking the nefarious backstreets of Barcelona. Crawling with pimps, hookers, dealers and the myriad other felons that inhabit every metropolis, it is here that the wheels of a hip hop revolution will begin to turn. 3:14 AM. March 23rd 2004. One man. One laptop. One wasted youth. Heskato. The fire of frustration raged inside him. His profound love of the lyrical arts of Hip Hop was being sullied on a daily basis. The atrocious homogeny of commercial rap that left such a bitter taste in his mouth had finally broken his spirit. He decided to fight back. H.G.T. represent.

Story behind the song
The first track as a collective. Beat provided by the Gate's very own DJ Chrissy B One take. No edits. Raw talent. After some banter about our respective positions in the H.G.T. heirarchy relative to Hip Hop culture icons, Heskato rips into the opening salvo; claiming the UK Hip Hop scene is overladen with talentless MC's. Wheeler and Hesketh, fresh back from BCN take Harmony duties for the melodic chorus before Benny C delivers his coruscating verse, followed by Wheeler's first ever rap, a suberbly executed study in rhyme schematics. A triumphant arrival onto the UK rap scene, this track will go down in history as one of the finest debuts in Hip Hop history.
