I'd explain this as an oddity, to say the least. As of now, there's no other D&B track I've heard in my memory which sounds similar to this and released at this time.
For something which is basically a middle finger to copyright, it sure does use the amen break extensively. Not that there's anything wrong with that (and music trying to replicate I'd say the mid 90s) but I felt like there could've been a greater opportunity to slice the amen sample up some more - pitch variation, etc. The use of instruments here fit very well for a hip-hop vibe, especially the melody which is a plus, but the secondary sax notes just feel a little too harsh comparing it to the rest of the song. The vocals sit well with the atmosphere of this song and add on to it by doing so.
The second half of this brings some much needed energy for something classed as Drum & Bass, especially with the added sound effect at 1:30 - I don't know why but I just love when that part hits. However, another little gripe of mine with this song though is that there's little snippets what just sound empty to me (not exactly empty, just amen-solo parts in the latter half like 1:33-1:36). They're not annoyingly common though, so it's mostly made up for by the other parts. This gets a B+ from me, nice work!
Score: 8/10 (B+/B)
