notes
The sub carries London Boy's low end, a 1 sine sub + saturated square -1 pushed hard and kept mono so it locks to the kick rather than fighting it. 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.
