I Am Legion is the name of this pact between Dutch drum n' bass pioneers Noisia and British grime/rapcrew Foreign Beggars. The two parties cooperated on a number of occassions since 2009's "Contact" the first track they made together. Follow-up "Shellshock" was another clubbanger that merged raw raps with industrial bass music into something more than the equal of its sums. Both Noisia and Foreign Beggars are not new to working with musicians in a different field. Noisia produced tracks for Dutch rappers Kraantje Pappie and Dope D.O.D., Foreign Beggars used productions of Knife Party. For their 16 track debut album the supergroup came up with the name I Am Legion. The album was released in September, amidst an extensive European tour that was followed by a stint of Australian dates.
