Back Yard Dog - "Baddest Ruffest" Single Review

  • 21 August 2001

News & Reviews 10. Back Yard Dog Baddest Ruffest (12" - (East West)) It always takes a few years for the charts to catch up with the underground sounds going on in clubland and this track is a shining example. The big beat ska thing that was breaking ground and destroying dancefloors a few years ago is now just hitting the mainstream.
Baddest Ruffest is a jumping shout out to ska and ragga with an ultra cheeky bassline and a Shaggy style vocal. Cheesy but cheerful and no doubt soon to be shooting up the charts.
