If you're trying to place their sound, start with 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and 'Insano'. They give you the feel of what they were doing.
JAMZ captured a specific moment when London's grime scene was colliding with hip-hop in unpredictable ways. Their albums 'Hardcore Volume 1' and 'Hardcore Volume 2' document that energy, and songs like 'The Way You Make Me Feel' show how they could bend those influences into something new.
