Eclectic South African music machine, Richard the Third, returns with his second single release for African Dope following the Future-Garage Love-Step stylings of last year's "Dragonfly Slip". This time he mixes up the sounds of Purple Funk with local Kwaito Flava, collaborating with Alexandra Township emcee and singer, Rebone. The track "Boss" is straight up dancefloor bizniss featuring wobbly synth leads, bashing drums and township swaggering rap. The single also features a hyper-drum smashing remix by SA Dubstep king, SFR and a low-slung, narcotic thug-hop remix by the up-and-coming prolific Das Kapital alongside the syncopated, Afro-Tech quirky "Pilchards" on the digital flip.
