Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Why isn't Just Blaze a superproducer megastar along the lines of, if not the Neptunes, at least Swizz Beats or Mannie Fresh circa three years ago? 'Cause he's been largely operating under the radar, making street hits instead of pop smashes (save for his work with Jay-Z). That might be about to change, though, now that he's helmed bubbling smash "Pump It Up" by next-big-thing Joe Budden (a rapper using his real name? shocking!). This is designed to be one thing only, a club banger. And fuck if it ain't. Damn! This record sounds so fucking great, mmmm! Yessss!
