Utterly relentless, I'm Da Best is a track that carries the confidence of its title. Remarkably minimal - with just a smattering of crashing synthetic stabs, hitting like a hammer on sheet metal, your attention is freed up to focus on what's really important here; the beats, and Shunda's vocal.
Shunda K - the leader of Domino Records signed hip-hop group Yo! Majesty, 2011 sees her going it solo. And with NME placing her on their 'cool list' plus electro star Peaches collaborating with Shunda on their track Billionaire, things are looking pretty rosy right now.
And that's what comes across in I'm Da Best, the first single from Shunda's solo record The Most Wanted. There's an undeniable positivity to the track, reinforced by its anti-bullying video. In it, we see Shunda dressed up as a Superwoman, there to save the day, to stop hard-ship and oppression - and that's what this track feels like, something to rally to in the hardest of times, an anthem that whatever anyone else might say, you can always find comfort and inner strength in your own personal best.
The Most Wanted album, featuring I'm Da Best, is available to buy from Amazon now.
