THE POLITIK –
THE POLITIK

“Banging on every level, if the intro hook don't get ya, the rest will. This partnership is worth every penny, time to get your money out and support this shit.”
— Phil Asher (restless soul)

“Ka-ching, ka-ching…The Politik are worth every penny of your hard-earned currency. This is the kind of musical col­laboration one can hope for, and its delivery is right on the money. MdCL and Bémbé are an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.”
— XLR8R Magazine

About the Record

The Politik is Bémbé Ségué and Mark de Clive-Lowe (MdCL). Bémbé is the ubiquitous vocal and writing talent behind tunes by Bugz in the Attic, 4hero, Silhouette Brown, and MdCL's Tide's Arising album. MdCL is the UK-based musician and producer behind hundreds of future-soul rubs with Omar, Platinum Pied Pipers, DJ Spinna, Dego, Kenny Dope and plenty more. The Politik's self-titled debut album features Bémbé on the mic, joined by guests Blu, Bahamadia and replife, and MdCL on production with guests Waajeed (Bling47), Daz I-Kue (Bugz in the Attic) and Jason Yarde. It's not often that a CD crosses so many boundaries, combines so many genres but still maintains the integrity, forward-thinking and legitimate moving music-making as The Politik.
