Unanimous Decision - Dissapoint Me

"..It's been said before, no ones a colour to the core, We're all mixed with no fixed destiny, and there's a part of me in you and you in me.."

MC Eveready, Bravo, Sheik, Rob G and Dual T made up Unanimous Decision. This track is from the "It Ain't Clever" Ep, released in 1993 on Kold Sweat Records. You can feel the emotion conveyed by Paul T as he gets some things off his chest. This was his last recording before leaving UD.
