The Greatest Hits (Part 1) is out now via Polydor / Universal Music. (Also… for those astute, stay tuned for the not-so-hidden hidden track by The Mayor of Hounslow, Chabuddy G!) It’s a great tie-in record, and is definitely worth a listen. People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan is a 2021 British comedy film directed by Jack Clough, serving as a continuation of the mockumentary television series. For those in on the jokes (of which there are thousands, even down to the album cover blatantly ripping off the Queen II album cover), this is a record of non-stop joy, and for those who don’t know the characters or the show, it’s still a very strong album, if a little overlong.
It’s a genuinely touching track that seems to come out of nowhere with its subtle emotional gut-punch.Īlso featured is a remix of the Kurupt classic ‘Heart Monitor Riddim’, undoubtedly one of the funniest rap tracks ever recorded with hilarious lyrics and delivery, but now featuring a roster of popular grime artists and a much heavier, bass-heavy beat that really kicks. After Brentfords largest pirate radio station has ended, the boys from Kurupt FM find their way to Japan on an. The biggest surprise of the record as a whole though is definitely ‘Letter to Grindah’, a track from DJ Beats that gives a hint of a backstory to these characters and further develops the relationship between Beats and Grindah, something that has always been apparent but never really explored beyond that. pirate-radio station Kurupt FM, but the stars of People Just Do Nothing: Big In Japan, have a few words to say about anti-piracy in the film industry. The production across the board is light and fun – most surprising is the sample on ‘Blaze It’ which is shared from Madlib’s production for Freddie Gibbs’ ‘High’ from 2016. Jaykae delivers a phenomenal verse on ‘Dreaming’, Big Narstie’s verse on ‘Blaze It’ works wonders and Craig David on the leading single for the album, ‘Summertime’, is also great. The Kurupt FM Lost Mixtape, released back in 2017, was adequate, but a lot of the tracks on this new album are actually fantastic, with intricate and catchy beats, MC Grindah’s charismatic and unique delivery and an impossible-to-replicate sense of camaraderie behind the scenes coming through in the skits added to the tracks. The quality of the comedy was frankly unsurprising, as the show and film are both brilliantly funny, but the enjoyability of the music itself was a welcome surprise. (“Sounds like a paedophile ring,” Steves points out.) Smooth corporate type Taka (Ken Yamamura) edges Chabuddy out out of the picture, and familiar divisions open up over selling out or keeping it real.Released as a tie-in record with the recently released to cinemas People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan, The Greatest Hits (Part 1) is a collection of new songs from the comedy rap group Kurupt FM, a collection of mostly nostalgic and very funny, but also genuinely very good, ear-worms and hilarious skits (the one at the start of ‘Your Mum Loves Garage’ with Lady Miche especially got me).
Grindah’s freestyle “ragga rap” leaves Japanese music execs utterly bewildered they’re thinking more of restyling the Brits as a boyband with matching outfits, dance moves and a new name: Bang Boys. Much of the show’s comedy derived from the glaring contrast between the crew’s bravado and their woefully limited skills – intellectual, social, musical. After Brentford's largest pirate radio station has ended, the boys from Kurupt FM find their way to Japan on an epic adventure in search of fortune and fame. This is very much a boys’ outing, but Miche finds a way. In tow is their wheeler-dealer “manager” Chabuddy G (Asim Chaudhry), though they somehow neglect to buy a ticket for Grindah’s partner Miche (Lily Brazier). So the crew reassemble and fly off to Tokyo: MC Grindah (Allan Mustafa), his loyal sidekick DJ Beats (Hugo Chegwin), their perpetually wasted mate Steves (Steve Stamp) and hanger-on Decoy (Daniel Sylvester Woolford), who literally does nothing for the whole film.

The excuse for the overseas jaunt is that one of Kurupt FM’s old-school garage tracks is being used on a Japanese TV game show.
