"Manchester's latest musical prodigies Virus Syndicate present some of the UK's finest vocal talents on MRK1's sub rocking imprint Contagious. For all those ignorant of the lyrical revolution occurring in Manchester, Contagious Vol 1 offers a refreshing insight into this somewhat London centric hype ridden scene. The vocal talents and production qualities of Manchester's finest, the Virus syndicate have been receiving acclaim from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Liam Howlett, Freq Nasty, Rob da Bank, Ras Kwame and Semtex to name a few and are carried through with this fine album. From satire to irony, humor to sincere, gangsta to socialist. Contagious Vol 1 offers a different view of today's youth and the skills and intelligence they possess. Tracks such as 'Politics' and 'Hunger' are a true sign of the times touching upon illegal wars, politics, poverty and the hierarchical system... disputes aside the album also delivers wonderfully crafted stories such as 'Man Who Would Be King' detailing a man's demise after selling his soul to the devil. Then there's the up front testosterone fueled tracks such as Plastician's 'Happy Shopper' which is a whooping swooping bass-driven speed train with a high speed vocal rinse out from Manchester's finest. With established artists such as Jammer, Ears and B Live new talent is also bought through such as the lyrically amazing Skittles, another Manchester starlet to watch out for. Contagious Rhymin Vol 1 is a definitive album of the new musical movement evolving from the UK be it grime, hip hop or dubstep, and is one album that will solidify Manchester's position (yet again) as one of the greatest musical hot pots in the world."
