Elgee da Beatdetonator produces out of the Netherlands, and GRIM NIGHT has been out since the start of the month nine tracks, just under twenty-five minutes, and built as a producer record rather than an artist album. That distinction matters, because the guest list is the point. G Fam Black takes "Savage 24/7." Greybeard gets "And You Don't Stop" and is credited with cuts as well as writing, which is the only explicit turntable credit on the record. "Rude Awakening" stacks four voices Assa, Chron Burgundy, Mic Dyson and Benzo. FunkySparrow appears three times, on "Blink of an Eye," "Marked for Death" and "Embrace." Gamblez tha Lucky Bastard, L.E.O., Mista Sweet, Mister Personal and the Siversmiths fill out the rest. Fifteen releases into his own catalogue, Elgee has clearly spent that time building the address book. The sequencing is tight: a forty-nine second "Night experience" as an opening statement, then eight tracks that stay between 2:48 and 3:20 and never sprawl. Each guest gets a single feature, no repeat pairings except FunkySparrow, and the record moves rather than settling. No mix or mastering credits are listed, and there's no label attached. For listeners who follow the transatlantic underground circuit the American MCs working with European producers, which has quietly become one of the healthier scenes of the last few years this is a well-assembled entry.
