about

IN THE BLUE CORNER! … international soul heavyweight … future music pioneer … the legendary … Colonel Red! *

IN THE RED CORNER! … he flows like a lullaby … spits like a cobra … the one and only… Yungun (yup, that's me … !)

This is my official remix of a track called "Holla" that Colonel Red recently leaked via his bandcamp page (colonelred.bandcamp.com). It's a homage to one of the greatest of all soul records. It takes guts, talent and flair to take on such an iconic track. I think you'll agree that Colonel Red pulls it off in fine style. I heard his version and just had to ... well ... "holla" ... (sorry, couldn't resist!). He kindly agreed to let me add a little hollering of my own and we decided to send it out there to see how people react.

We hope you enjoy! Please get in touch to let us know what you think.

You can reach me on www.twitter.com/YungunAKAessa.

It's not your typical rap sheet. Born in a leafy suburb, educated at a prestigious boarding school and qualified as a city lawyer. But somewhere along the way (under former name Yungun) Essa became a key figure in UK hip-hop's "golden era" with shameless party joints, cryptic love songs, bilingual Spanglish wordplay and soul-searching escapism, earning nods from the likes of Nas and Mark Ronson. ... more
