WordySoulspeak is the sound of the new China. Formed as a musical alliance in the country's capital Beijing, the dynamic duo of 3 X DMC China champion DJ Wordy and production partner Jeff Soulspeak, WordySoulspeak combines cutting edge electronic production techniques, Native Instruments Maschines, intricate turntablism trickery, live Akai MPC routines and classic boom bap Hip Hop to make a unique blend of avant-garde forward thinking Chinese art...

It's hard not to get caught up in the music in this album. Let the Rhythm Hit contains a wide diversity of styles that your opinion and favourite tracks change on repeat listening.

But, for me, by far and away the best track - and easily the most accessible to the general populace - is 'No Escape' which is a funky little track that, for some unknown reason, screams "private detective theme tune" at you.

The album contains 10 tracks and lasts for approximately 37 mins. It's certainly one to gamble on - there's so much here to enjoy.
