Grind feat. Nadja Cox

The half Aussie, half Austrian urban clash duo T.A.B. are back with their latest grimy electro number, ‘Grind’, from their forthcoming album due out in 2012. Based in Austria, T.A.B. is comprised of Aussie MC Jason Waterhouse a.k.a. Mr Tears and Austrian native Bernhard Kathrein a.k.a. Benson.  The pair has been collaborating since 2008 and are forerunners in the urban clash movement (a mashup of hip hop, dance and r‘n‘b) in Europe.  Earlier this year T.A.B. introduced the fresh new sound of urban clash to the Aussie airwaves with their first single ‘Cocowrongo’ and T.A.B’s latest offering ‘Grind’, pushes the boundaries of the genre, introducing some influences from the grime and dubstep circles to the urban clash mix. Mr Tears thought of the idea for ‘Grind’ while working with his mum for the old family food production business.  It was a hard time for the family, working extremely long hours for peanuts.  So while spending hours rolling dumplings, the only thing that went through Tears? head was ‘fight, hustle, grind, struggle’.  The new single, originally intended as a self-motivator for Tears, is an adrenalin filled three-and-a-half minutes of dirty beats and relentless rhymes that will put more than a spring in your step while your fighting through the daily grind.
