Since then, UK Runnings & The Urban Shop have both helped each other in numerous cross promotions. Now with the birth of this new mixtape showcasing some of the best UK rap acts in the scene as well a bonus "Classic Roots Mix", these two independent forces have created a future classic.

Blak Twang’s "96" anthem also features, as does The Blacknificent 7’s "Stay Black" and TY’s "Closer". Malik (MD7), Doc Brown, Supar Novar, Mr.Ti2bs, Kyza and Klashnekoff also feature alongside Wolftown favourites Late, 10Shott, Conman, Reload, Jai Boo and Dass, as well as some superb tracks by up & coming talent such as Big Cakes, Double E, Kid Radical, Tbear, Swift it Major, Blaq I and The Devius.
