WTF?! & DEAD PREZ - IT'S BIGGER THAN HIP HOP UK



“Arguably a cornerstone in the dubstep movement, hold tight!” - Zane Lowe







WTF!? - It's Bigger Than Hip Hop by Outpost Music PR

WTF!? is the new project from Adam F and DJ Fresh, encompassing dubstep, house, hip hop, reggae, electronic and sampled music. They’ve teamed up with Dead Prez for their first single, with a new take of the classic track ‘It’s Bigger Than Hip Hop’, released through Breakbeat Kaos.

What started as a re-edit for a select few found its feet organically when a bootleg was sent to Zane Lowe who immediately made it “Hottest Record in the World” on Radio 1. A clip of the tune quickly made its way onto YouTube and was gaining momentum when Dead Prez saw it and contacted WTF!? to request making it a fixture of their live show.

It’s immediate popularity lead to an official collaboration and a brand new recording of the classic complete with revamped production and new vocals from Dead Prez, with Zane Lowe giving the new version the same accolade.

Dead Prez said "When we first heard the massive sound WTF!? are producing it gave us a whole new way to look at the track! The new version has given life and breath to the record and working in the studio with these guys has been an immense experience... that’s definitely bigger than hip hop".

The track is back by a ‘140bpm Dubbed Out Mix’ and an electro-house version by Dutch producer/DJ Sidney Samson.

Adam F and Fresh are no strangers to the scene- the pair founded Breakbeat Kaos, whose successes include acts such as Pendulum.

WTF!? is also a live act that includes both Adam F and Fresh, look out for upcoming shows.

Adam F performed at Glastonbury this June.
