Panamanian-born MC Zulu is in the midst of an ambitious multi-release project entitled Crowd Control, on which he is set to release an EP and album comprised of tracks featuring guest producers from around the world with a variety of musical leanings (artists such as Poirier, South Rakkas Crew, Lion Dub, Kush Arora, Mochipet, Radiohiro, Top Billin, and Knight Riderz are all said to make an appearance). The first effort from this project, the Mad Crowd EP, is where you’ll find “Crowd Control,” an intense anthem that showcases Zulu’s MCing abilities on top of production from the UK’s The Bumps. The track’s dancehall groove is enhanced with frantically moving synth bass and rave stabs that are only overtaken by Zulu’s forceful vocals, which jump effortlessly from moments of call-and-response to self-harmonizing, all while keeping the proverbial “crowd” in check, and ensuring that they are indeed paying attention by the time the chorus comes asking, “Are you listening?” Yes, yes we are.
