Manchester’s Virus Syndicate, having just released the critically acclaimed Battle Royal EP with Dutch rappers Dope D.O.D., throw down the gauntlet with their latest mix “RAG$” and its in-your-face visual accompaniment. The original cut, a raw take on the shady side of the industry, goes hard from start to finish with a seriously filthy trap beat. In the group’s own words…

“The inspiration for the song has come from seeing our peers, and at times ourselves, falling into egocentric mind state as a by-product of having success.”

And the video keeps that passionate energy flowing, taking it back to the Syndicate’s roots, the streets of South Manc. Listen/see for yourself and grab a copy over on iTunes.
