Old School Sunday – RDB feat. Metz & Trix “Hai Margay”
My entire life is defined by music. Specific tracks are associated with memories in my life, and when listening to said tracks, they trigger off the specific memory without fail. In fact, that’s how I can quickly catalogue some tracks and rhyme off what year they were released (Peculiar I know.)
So on the date that I moved to this here fine country many years ago, I’ve selected a track that is most famous for my trip back to the surrogate motherland in the Summer of 2002.
I remember purchasing two CDs on that trip, “Urban Flavas Volume 1″ and Tigerstyle’s “Virsa.” In fact I shelled out £10 each for them! And while I love Tigerstyle, it was the Urban Flavas CD that got the most airplay. In my mind, that album has to be one of the most complete albums from start to finish. Traditionalists may disagree, but it’s not like the Untouchables camp claimed it was anything but urban…look at the title!
Even though the “Dil Karda” video was on continuous play on ZeeTV during my stay, it was “Hai Margay” that captivated me. To this day, it’s a track I listen to at home, in the car and in the gym. What can I say? Jungle is Massive! I’ve made my mum sit through this song in the car, and while she never complained about “Hai Margay,” she did have to gripe about “Dekh Jawani,” when she questioned “Why is the singer singing so fast?”
In recent years both RDB, Metz and Trix have fallen off, but this Hai Margay is probably one of my favourite tracks of theirs before they all went their separate ways.
With vocals provided by KS Makhan, enjoy if you will “Hai Margay”
