notes
Hard synth stabs punctuate Jerk and Jollof's hooks, fast-attack hits with a tight envelope so they read as percussion as much as pitch. Approximated from Dizzee Rascal's 2024 studio work: modern UK rap/grime production built around Xfer Serum wavetable leads and 808 sub bass, the standard toolkit for UK rap records of this period.
