After his highly acclaimed debut album The Crack Capone (Planet Mu, 2010), widely considered an all-time footwork classic, DJ Roc returns with a follow-up mini-album titled Practice What U Preach. Roc is one of the main DJs at the weekly Battlegroundz meet-ups in Chicago's South Side, where the different crews and dancers flesh out who is the coldest in the game. This special release gives a very good impression of what is happening musically in the eye of the storm. It's a collection of eight pure battle tracks, made without compromise, yet it's variety of modes and moods is breathtaking. This is an excellent release for anyone looking to dig deeper into footwork's vast landscape of infinite possibilities and enjoy the raw energy of one of today's most exciting electronic dance music styles.
