Posse cuts are back! From the mastermind that brought you 2009's infamous wall-to-wall posse cut album 'Squid Ninjaz - Revenge Of The Blowfish' not to mention a hefty solo output more recently bolstered by his own production skills, South Wales' veteran emcee Joe Blow wishes us seasons greetings and a thuggish new year by means of this extremely stacked posse cut 'South Wales Most Wanted'.

Having taken to the MPC like a duck to water a few years back, Joe Blow is consistently smashing out beats not only for himself and his crew but as means to develop other upcoming artists. In fact to give back to the culture Joe and longtime collaborator 4Dee seriously upped the ante in 2022 by launching Veteran Records. The pair using their decades of combined 'been there, done that' experience to recruit and develop a varied list of artists in-house and carve out territory of their own under the Veteran Records brand.

What better way to celebrate the mega productive 2022 that Joe & crew have enjoyed than to end the year on a rowdy note by smashing out this sonically rich five-and-a-half minute joint with a loop based on an old Fever Tree jam, Madlib style.

Verses come from Joe Blow himself with that recognisable Barry Town twang, his fellow label co-owner 4Dee, Junior Disprol with that trademark deadpan delivery, plus verses from Mighty Mouse, Joe Dirt, Rollo, Jay Rede, Dw Smith, Chew, T-Rev, Emarvelous & Dick Dastardly. The legendary DJ Jaffa provides the cuts.

Veteran Records is very much in effect and staying sucker free in 2023.
