Our own DJ Gravy is among those predicting a big comeback for jungle and drum and bass, and hopefully leading the way will be Congo Natty (aka Rebel MC of Double Trouble fame), one of the main guys who helped lead the way in the first place. The jungle pioneer has just signed with influential UK label Big Dada, which will release his Jungle Revolution LP (mixed by Adrian Sherwood) on June 17.

Occupying a space between power soca, steelpan and the freakiest outer limits of U.K. dance music, “One Time” is the debut single from Jus Now, the Anglo-Trinidadian duo of Interface (of Bristol, England) and LAZAbeam (of T&T). As jarring as the song’s unique sound is the accompanying video, a manic trip through Port of Spain’s streets, roti shops, parrot’s nests and a dojo full of karate kids. We’ve seen some ambitious soca videos this Carnival season, but this is some really next-level business.

Butcher-turned-artist Cutty Ranks has never been for the squeamish. The guy known for lines like “Limb by limb we ah go cut dem down/send fi deh hacksaw, take out deh tongue” went full blast with the gore in the video for his politically charged comeback single “Full Blast,” illustrating his lyrical points about police brutality with scenes of young men lying in pools of blood. As the disclaimer at the start of the clip says: FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
