Etch Shop EXCLUSIVE!!!

'Live Up' featuring The People’s Army and Mighty Moe (Heartless Crew) is out as a digital single on 17^th October - the first official release from the former London Posse man Rodney P since he signed to Tru Thoughts earlier this year, causing a wave of excitement throughout the media, and much anticipation for new music.

 A stand-alone single channelling the restless mood of our times and issuing a rallying cry, in the wake of student protests and then the August riots which made headlines around the World, this cut is as timely as it is catchy; the lyrics are purely uplifting hip hop as each MC on this posse track has their turn to spit some positive verses.

Rodney P had organised the video shoot for “Live Up”, filmed around London, earlier in 2011 at the time of the UK student protests against the lack of free higher education. After the UK riots that took place this summer, Tru Thoughts boss Robert Luis was eager to put something out there on the label to try and reflect the situation as he knew many real people were seeing it. He gave Rodney a call: “I knew Rodney would be feeling this too, and would more than likely have something in the pipeline, because he's always been a natural spokesperson for London's streets. Sure enough, he said he had this track and video that just needed to be finished up. He played it to me and it's just great, and I knew I should get it out there”.
