Hype! Hype!

SLK

Smoove/Ministry of Sound

WE SAY

A big release for Smoove - the urban imprint named after the successful night at Ministry's London club. Hype! Hype! has a refreshing lyric and almost as many hooks per minute as beats per minute. The last time we thought that about a Smoove record, it was Do You Really Like It?
