Curation Picks: DJ Hype, Jappa - Kill Something

Playaz Recordings returns with another weighty addition to its revitalised dubplate series, and Vol. 2 does not hold back. Return of the Dubplate Killa - Vol. 2 sees DJ Hype and the Playaz camp delivering four distinctly flavoured weapons, each tuned for serious sound system pressure. 

Kicking things off is "Kill Something," a bruising link-up between Hype and Jappa. Jappa makes his label debut in style, bringing cavernous bass and a host of ragga vocal stabs that nod to the classic dubplate era without sounding stuck in it. Return of the Dubplate Killa - Vol. 2 proves that Playaz is not just reminiscing. It is rewriting the rules with the same fire that made the label iconic in the first place.
