The levels are raised once again by the accompanying video, thanks to another visually arresting saga from This & That Media. Eagle Court is due for release on 11 October on High Focus.

I remember first hearing Verb T rap when his track Showbitchness was included on a Low Life Records compilation, back in 2003.
