DJ Roc, a.k.a. The Crack Capone, a.k.a. Clarence Johnson, a.k.a. the man who released one of Planet Mu’s best footwork albums way back in 2010 (seriously, listen to this shit), is set to drop an EP called Back to the Tracks v.1. The EP, which follows last year’s Take Em Out the Circle LP on Shinkaron, is being released with the blessing of Beatdown House, an imprint founded by seminal footwork/juke producer DJ Clent.
Beatdown House has been picking up steam as of late. In addition to releases by Traxman, T-Rell, and Clent himself, the label dropped Beatdown Compilation Vol 1 just last month, featuring affiliated artists like DJ T-Rell, Majik Myke, and DJ C-Bit. Roc has a couple on there too, including an ice-cold take on “U Guessed It” by TMT favorite OG Maco.
Check out “Give Em Hell” below, his flip of another OG Maco track, and look for Back to the Tracks v.1 on February 10.
