				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chase &amp; Status have released the fourth and final installment in their series of Grime tracks featuring some of the scene&#8217;s finest MC&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The London Bars series has already seen the likes of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ2Iaye1Kb0">Giggs</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOluIDYtmc0">Frisco</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVbLuNLorqY">Bonkaz</a>, spitting over some seriously heavyweight cuts from the Drum &amp; Bass heroes. The final volume, &#8216;Bigger Man Sound&#8217;, has rounded off the series with Grime 2.0 prodigy Novelist &#8211; the de facto leader of Lewisham based &#8216;The Square&#8217; crew.</p>
<p>Unlike the other entries into the series, which employ the the pulse wave basslines and Eskibeats Grime is famous for, &#8216;Bigger Man Sound&#8217; features devastating brass sounds over trap flavoured beats, reminiscent of Chase &amp; Status&#8217; Pusha T collab <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krl0p_Nrvow">&#8216;Machine Gun&#8217;</a>, off of their album <em>Brand New Machine</em>. You can check out the video for &#8216;Bigger Man Sound&#8217; below:</p>

<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Chase &amp; Status have featured Grime MC&#8217;s on their tracks. In 2011 they released <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnDzdjzgw2A">&#8216;Hypest Hype&#8217;</a> featuring Tempa T, the spiritual successor to Tempz&#8217; legendary &#8217;09 anthem <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ6G7qwjom4">&#8216;Next Hype&#8217;</a>.</p>
<p>While we&#8217;re all waiting with bated breath for a follow up album to 2013&#8217;s <em>Brand New Machine </em>the London Bars series is reaffirmation that Chase &amp; Status can start a fire with any bass heavy genre. However until we do get any information about a new album there is a Craig David collaboration on the horizon for the duo, which he described as <a href="http://uk.complex.com/music/2015/11/craig-david-interview">&#8220;pure flames, man&#8221;</a>.</p>
