You Will Dig This: Kurupt FM shows you how to produce and DJ
The pirate radio station Kurupt FM consists of MC Sniper, Decoy and Weapon X. The name originates from a clever play on words, MC Sniper elaborates:
"Kurupt FM is actually a play on words. We took the word "corrupt" and replaced the C with a K. Most people don't get it straight away. Makes it stick in your mind, like submarinal advertising."
MC Sniper is also the leader and spokesperson for Kurupt FM, so he gives an insight to the dynamics of the team:
"The backbone to any pirate radio is a strong crew. I'm a perfect leader cos I'm physically and mentally strong. Having good DJs and MCs is important, but more important is loyalty and a carefully selected team with a range of skills to bring to the table. Decoy is the Kurupt FM driver and official Jamaican. Steves is good at climbing, which is useful for taking down aerials. Weapon X's uncle works for the fire brigade, so he can get skeleton keys for the estate rooftops. We have skills for basically any scenario."

The track's original instrumental version was known to fans as 'Nicktim'.Then the Swedish pop vocalist Noonie Bao stepped in to add the add vocals to the catchy melodic hooks of the superstar DJ/producer duo. 'I Could Be the One' is an excellent job by Avicii and Nicky Romero to bring yet another stadium-sized progressive house track that's going to stick around for longer.
The concept of the video is really cool also. Visualizing what a lot of people would like to do instead of their daily routines. It's time for a break from the ever day. Enjoy yourself, but be safe, though!
