"**** Their music a veritable menagerie of agrarian hip–hop grooves and dubwise jazzy nuances, True Ingredients are a much needed breath of fresh air in the often stale and staid world of UK hip-hop. With the right combination of ingredients, these lot seem to have the recipe for success. "
- Kim O’ Conner, DJ Mag

Does sound like a lot of faces, but trust me - they are all adding their own individual ingredients to the pot!"
