Virus Syndicate are DJ / Producer Mark One and MCs JSD, Goldfinger and Nika D - Manchester's biggest Grome crew, representing the North-west U.K in their inimitable style. Virus have been operating within the grime scene since 2002, playing many Sidewinder raves and countless shows on Rinse Fm and Unity radio as well as a recent live session on Ras Kwame's new onemusic show on Radio 1. Their single 'Slow Down' the lead track on this album has even reached the daytime B-list of 1Xtra.
The debut album 'THE WORK RELATED ILLNESS' really is everything anyone could hope for in this arena - a cartoon gangster movie of an album with beginning, middle and end - all the tracks link iinto each other in a narrative and the entire album tells a story. The fantastic production, the delivery and the flow on the album may be straight from the grime scene, but the content belies a far wilder influence - from both UK and stateside hip hop's lyricism.
