The Shaolin Temple - They Say

On the island some call them “The Temple”, others simply T.S.T. but regardless of what you call them the temple boys are finally here with the first leaked track of the (looking-to-be) monstrous Volume 1; and all the trip-hop addicts are going nuts about it.

But if you haven’t heard; S.I.’s new producer on the block (is that even a phrase?) JTTG has teamed up with The SHRNK straight out of Brooklyn to bring the Island some new kind of audio-formed sickness. 

Like some lost track from an early Gorillaz album “They Say” creeps up at you with precision and intensity; a slow motion serenade for rolling up out your den late at night; blunt smoke drifting all about your head. The rebounding 808 hits throughout the drop we’re really what sealed the deal for me, head-pounding without over doing it, a very hard thing to balance. So with that said it must have been a producer with some skill to be able to pull off a track like this.

But in reality not much is yet known about these guys; and only time will tell as they unroll yet more of their massive debut to the underground masses, but perhaps it’s good some things stay hidden for now, and remain as they should be; secrets of the temple o.O
