Big Audio Dynamite was the second coming of Mick Jones after the Clash disbanded. Keeping up with the times Mick and his collabs produced a current sound featuring: layered sampling, heavy raga and electro. A prime example of their works is 1991's RUSH. Check the singles cover art, drafted by the one & only Shawn Stussy. Only one man can write fonts like that. Mick was part of the International Tribe-Stu Crew.Big Audio was what many consider would have been the next sound of the Clash, that would have been a shame. But they are still worth a hearty listen ..... for the change of atmosphere.
