Tha DQC, hailing from Uxbridge in Middlesex, brings a four-track EP of varied tracks, mixing rap, ragga rap and a real Africa meets UK flavour. The lead track "God With Us" has a slight dirty south feel as Tha DQC encourages us to glorify God in all that we do, mixing a vocal hook, autotuned chorus - as we talk about God with and in us. "Juss Be With You" has a smoother flavour with some refreshing female vocals as Tha DQC raps in a rolling ragga style. "We Praise Him" brings a message to the church to fight and keep on going over a rolling, mechanical pulsating beat. We end out with "Street Cypha" which brings a slightly heavier edge and a tight flow. Some variation in beats and the vocals up in the mix would see Tha DQC sound come up even higher.
