Uncle Riko, as he’s known to many in the grime scene, just released his new mixtape, Rise Of The Farda, which he says is "a direct, hard-hitting, no-nonsense assault from The London City Warlord." The revered bar-slinger, who rose to underground fame as a member of the Roll Deep collective, hasn’t put out much material since his last compilation, 2010’s Sleeping Giant, so, with no promo leading up to the drop, this 13-track package comes as a nice surprise. Subject matter on the tape ranges from living life in the urban jungle to fatherhood, and with features from fellow yardie-man-flow MCs Flowdan, God’s Gift, and Trigga, as well as the likes of Wiley, Terror Danjah, and Hatcha on the buttons, Riko Dan done good.
