Aim - The Force ft. Qnc - Cold Water Music 1999

Producer Andy Turner (AIM) a self-confessed beathead, cycles between jazzy hip hop beats to rap and alternative wall-of-sound influences to bedrock his productions. Turner also gets props for drafting three excellent rappers -- Q'n'C, YZ, and AG -- to add vocals, resulting in several tracks that evoke the heyday of rap's Golden Age, but are also enough to survive even on modern mainstream rap radio. Though half of the standard songs are vocal tracks, Turner also shines on the instrumentals, constructing a paranoid beat symphony on "Demonique" with shrieking strings and an extended vocal sample from some forgotten B-movie.

AIM songs are ridiculously underestimated, if they were ever played on the radio they'd go triple plat, they deserve more than what they get

Classic tune from an amazing album. That 'forgotten B-movie' sample on demonique is actually the original Halloween film.
