J. Nolan’s Space

Who's a Clever boy?

I really like future prospects in boxing, just like everyone else, when a young and upcoming fighter, who is not only hungry and determined, but also skillful, it gets me very excited. I want to jump into a time machine and go forward 5 years to see how they have progressed, but patients is a virtue or whatever they say but im an impatient person. Well, Super Middleweight Commonwealth champion Nathan Cleverly is one of those boxers.
The other night he only needed 130-odd seconds to dispose of Samson Onyango, this was his second defence and he made it in style. Bone crunching body shots caused the Kenyan to crumble under the pressure.
The young boxer is under the tutelage of none other than Enzo Calzaghe, who calls Cleverly the true future of british boxing over Amir Khan (who fights Marco Antonio Barrera on the 14th of March), but of course he would, wouldn't he?
Cleverly has everything needed of him to reach a world title shot, and he possesses the skills to win it. Following in the footsteps of his trainers son, Joe Calzaghe, and what makes this kid more exciting is the way he boxes.
Cleverly looks to be be eyeing up Dean Francis now to add the british Lonsdale title to his credentials. I wish him the best and I know he will be going on to big, big things.

From ashy to classy

I had heard of these guys a while ago but never followed up on them. Until i received this little gem of a mixtape in the mail. You’ll know most of the beats & the entertainment (& laugh out loud) factor these guys possess will have you checking their site for more of the same. The flow on the EP is just as nice over original beats (& quality ones too). Don’t sleep!

Antonio DeMarco overcomes Kid Diamond

So once again, a late night excursion in my back room sitting infront of the box watching setanta sports at silly o clock in the morning, accompanied by my drunken brother who was rather excited, that he hadnt missed the fight. It was worth it though. If not for the main event....Darchinyan - Arce, which im not going to look at today, but instead the undercard bout, a superb fight, for the NABO lightweight title, between Antonio DeMarco another Mexican fighter who looks like he will dominate the lower weight divisions over the coming years and Kid Diamond, the brash and bouncy wild fighter from somewhere in Europe I cant pronounce. The fight started off somewhat awkward, DeMarco's southpaw stance imposing its frustration upon Kid Diamond, who, at times, found a way through DeMarco's tight defense with his wild flashy hands. The first few rounds were back and forth but Kid Diamond seemed to land the harder punches and looked like, if he could keep up his pace, he would take the fight to DeMarco and set the rhythm. DeMarco was too much though, as it seemed to me that Diamond couldnt utilise his game plan to its full effect. DeMarco was quick, but his head movement early on in the fight worried me, and he wasnt using his jab, which is very effective against a boxer like Diamond who likes to take the fight on the inside. Diamond was the agressor for the the first 7 rounds, and he was on the front foot constantly, proving a very hard target for DeMarco, bobbing and weaving, his defense possessed as much flair as his offense. DeMarco found his rhythm though, pumping the jab and keeping Diamond at bay during the later stages of the fight. Fuelling, in my opinion, Diamonds frustration, which led him to throw some wild shots, and thus it was this mistake that gave DeMarco to deliver crunching lefts to the body of Diamond along with some very nice combinations during the 9th, using his jab to set up his harder left hand to full effect, rocking Diamonds head and taking control. Diamond was unable to come out for the 10th. An enraptured DeMarco celebrated the best fight of his career so far.

Symbolic Gestures

I had no idea that this project was even in the pipeline, so when Braille drops the whole thing in the mail, I couldn't believe my luck. One of my favourite MC's has teamed up with one of my favourite producers & the results are superb. Both sides bring their A game, S1 in a slightly unexpected way. maybe it's just me, but i'm used to hearing more Soul & less Boom Bap from him. But when Cloud Nineteen is the result who cares. As soon as the cymbals started to crash on the opening track (It's Nineteen) I knew I was going to like album. And so it proved as one head nod succeeded another without a lull in . Braille is his lyrically constructive, Hip Hop praising self. I recently wrote a piece for a future issue of The Find Magazine, in which I stated that Hip Hop had the wrong MC at it's forefront & that for the good of Hip Hop's image that had to be changed. Braille is the type of MC I was referring to as the lights that aren't getting the shine that they deserve. When your this nice an MC gimmicks just aren''t necessary. Cloud Nineteen carries all the ingredients of what Hip Hop should be. Braille also shows an insightful depth in places that some might not grasp on the 1st spin. tracks like Broken Heart, Skepticold & especially Heart Of God, deserve the listeners concentration on what is being said & not just how he is saying it. Hip Hop is all about utilizing quality beats to express yourself, not expressing an image. For those that seek the former, Cloud Nineteen is the place ot start.

Quality By Association

I recently read a write up on another UK blog. It was basically a verbal barrage at the state of UK Hip Hop & those at the forefront of it. It was said that one of the main reasons why our music over here is not in a more recognised position is that our MC spit the same old rhymes over the same old beats & the cycle is never ending. I would reply by saying that: If you want to see UK versions of This Is Why i’m Hot, My Neck, My Back or Laffy Taffy then go find the artists to make it happen. I would much rather our artists are not infected with that virus & have it spread throughout our scene. Maintaining our own sound has to be a priority. Remember back in the days of UK heads using US accents. We don’t want a beat making alternative do we. Or would you rather them be adding to our knife crime situation instead of writing rhymes & layering kicks. Support good music, it’s really not that difficult.

Hence I introduce the Associated Minds crew. You’ve seen me drop a few snippets from these guys before. But I really like what these guys are about so i’ve decided to put some of those snippets of that niceness in one post.

Ralph Rip Shit – Disco

Mudmowth – Rain & palm trees (feat. Ralph Rip Shit)

I had to say a few words about this one. An eerie hula sample played at different speeds at various times. Topped up by Mud & Ralph painting some off key, but laugh out loud verbal pictures. If the Monsters Inc. project is real, and this is what we can expect from it, then I for one cannot wait.

 

Willo Wispa – Mars To The Manor

Metabeats - Live & Let Live (feat. Pergyl)

This bunch of talented individuals & their labelmates deserve all the shine is coming their way. If it exists bros I;m waiting to hear this Monsters inc. stuff & Ralph you need to drop an album man! Don’t sleep on these guys people. Listen, Enjoy & check out the site.
