12th Planet, Megalodon & 50 Carrot – TRUE OG
SMOG Records‘ most recent release, so aptly named “TRUE OG”, boasts a lethal three-way cocktail featuring some of bass music’s most brutal heavy hitters: California’s 12th Planet and Megalodon and UK’s own 50 Carrot. Frequently cited as the “American Dubstep King,” 12th Planet has been credited as one of the first individuals to bring dubstep culture to America, as the genre gained massive attention from his monstrous collaborations with names like Skrillex, Kill The Noise, Datsik, Doctor P and Skream. Megalodon is no stranger to the spotlight, either, as his productions have received millions of Soundcloud and YouTube plays, a string of Beatport Number 1’s, and are often featured on some of the biggest music platforms like UKF and BBC Radio1 and mixed within the DJ sets of Skrillex, Skism, Zeds Dead, Borgore, Skream, Benga and Hatcha. Rounding up this mind numbing trio is 50 Carrot; currently one of the UK’s biggest bass music influences. As co-founder of the popular dubstep label, Gentlemen’s Club, alongside bass music heavyweights Coffi and Soloman, 50 Carrot carries with him an instantly recognizable production style that allows him to continue to make waves in the world-wide dubstep scene.

Finding its home on 12th Planet’s own imprint, “TRUE OG” packs an undeniable punch, as it blends together fresh sample cuts, Megalodon’s signature lasers, and a drop fully loaded with enough gnarly machine guns, screeches and bass punches to make an aggressive, yet lasting impact. With this much in-your-face brutality crammed into less than 3 minutes, it’s easy to see why these three continue to reign as true OGs in the bass music scene.
