Did you know that the English “Spitfire” (“a person… with a fiery temper”) was originally derived from the Florentine cacafuoco, a compound word meaning… you guessed it… sh*tfire? I sh*t you not – I’m getting this straight outta Dictionary.com. Though too hilarious not to share with the class, that etymological fun fact is completely unrelated to S-Preme‘s latest EP single, which takes its name from a 2005 cut by The Prodigy. In any case, lyrical flames are exactly what Preme delivers here; over the Engish electronica legends’ brutal yet lightly exotic boardwork, the Chi-town bombards eardrums with aggressively overdriven freshness, even managing to work in a few erudite allusions to Greek mythology: “Not cool, where Prometheus’ll take me, I spit Hades and everybody hates me.” If you’re craving some more heat to get you through the winter, S-Preme has you covered; blazing beats and rhymes galore can be found on Prodigy-inspired mash-up EP S-Prodigy, scheduled to hit the ‘net on the 1st of next month.

Prodigy, eh? I remember their music videos being played only on MTV late nights and, after protests by angry parents like Tipper Gore, being removed and banished completely from U.S. airwaves. I never thought we'd hear an emcee try to tackle their non-urban sound for a song, let alone an EP, but S-Preme likes to change things up I guess. And ya know what? I think it kinda works.

Wow....unexpected. I mean we've been talking about hip-pop, and hip-rock, but this is like hip-metal. It's not horrible just unfamiliar. Dude can definitely spit, and doesn't let the production overtake him, keeping pace throughout.

^ $5 says the guy above me has never listened to metal.
The Prodigy are ELECTRONICA, as in hard-edged, dancefloor-destroying beats. Of course, these days, MC's and most hip-hop fans alike have been conditioned to only accept soft, radio-friendly beats, which makes shit like this track sound too "unfamiliar" to them when it's actually a hard-ass hip-hop track. Certified BANGER! |

For the record, anyone that makes a Dylan reference earns automatic points in my book, and with an appropriately hot fire flow like this, S-Preme kills it. I don't need my morning coffee after bumping "Spitfire."
