The Last Skeptik has been doing some undercover work lately. Not only has he just let this super catchy remix go for the masses, but he is also working on a Free (yes Free) remix album featuring such luminaries as; Jehst, The Game, Lowkey, Daniel Merriweather, Joe Budden, Jawaad, Mongrel & More. Do not sleep! Enjoy!

Grown (Wo)man’s business

master art incks

Man the niceness just keeps on coming. More quality freeness peepz. This time from FeMC Incksalonius. I’m listening to this one as I speak (or rather, type). Just when I think that it’s possible Nas is right (Hip Hop Is Dead) I get one quality release after another from artists such as these & I realise that there way too many talented artists out there who are doing what they can for that statement to be fully realised. Enjoy!

Incksalonius – Grown, Another Day

A word to the Wyze

SeanWyze-CNS-RGB-600

This guy comes out of the same camp as Dulu & boy does it show. More superb stuff from these guys who i will be keeping a close eye on fromn now on. Don’t let the title fool you. This is not merely a simple Bitches & Hos album, there is meaning in Sean’s words. The beats are superb & it’s free sp no excuses. I defy any of you not to snap that neck (and have a nostalgia trip) to Step Back. Enjoy!

Sean Wyze – Chicks & Snares

Dulu know whats up

Dulu-TheGarageSaleVol1_Cover The Garage Sale has started & it’s a quality one too. Apparently these are beats that were rejected for various different projects. Bloody hell if this is the quality of his rejected material when is your best work dropping Dulu? Enjoy!

The Date mentioned on the title of this post corresponds with the release of Wordsmiths latest project. Baltimore Martini sees him doubling up with Dutch master of ceremonies I.N.C. The Poet. Don’t let the project title fool you. The pair trade verses about making a better life for oneself. I’m gonna drop 3 tasters over 3 days starting with this one. Enjoy!

Super sonar Radar to the 3rd power

CB-OTR3-Front

‘On The Radar Vol. 3’ features artists from up and down the country including Northern Ireland, South and West Yorkshire, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge – Certified Banger fully represents the talent this country holds. If you don’t recognise the names on here, there’s all the more reason to download this – you need to hear these tracks and then you need to find out more.

In a time when so much music is given away for free it’s good to remember that these guys need to eat too. ‘OTR Vol. 3’ is intended to be a signpost that points towards the places where these MCs and producers sell their wares. Check these tracks out, then buy the albums, EPs and 12”s that these artists put out.

I’ve posted links at a couple of my other ‘hangouts’ if you want to catch the early editions. Otherwise April 6th is the place to catch it here.

The GOOD MORNING Mixtape

Early to rise

I dig for CD's like beatsmiths dig for samples. I search long & hard in every nook & cranny of all my favourite (& newly discovered) underground stores hoping to unearth some yet to be shined upon talent. However, while doing this I sometimes come across some gems. Kero One's Early Believers is one of those gems. The release date I have is 4th of April, so why I found a copy still in its packaging on 17th of April is anyones guess. Especially seeing as it's original recipient didn't even have the foresight to listen to the quality that exudes from every paw of this (soon to be) release. Originality is the key to this albums success. Kero has taken cues from an assortment of genres & bent them to the will of his melodious take on Hip Hop. The 1st thing that struck me about this sophomore effort from KO is that everything about it is uplifting. The whole thing bounces along oblivious to anything other than great music. Lots of right pianos & electro horns, lots of funky bass guitars & happy go lucky keys & lots of sing songy hooks, Normally if there is alot of the latter I would be writing about how that has taken away from the album. But so lush are the funky backdrops created by Kero that it would almost be a disservice to the overall vibe if those vocals were removed. Ben Westbeech & Tuomo each provide 2 of the aforementioned hooks, with Ohmega Watts the only guest MC to be found. At 12 tracks deep (including a lovely sambafied skit) the lightly sprinkled guests are definitely the best policy for an album such as this. I can't help getting the feeling of escapism & while listening to this I always seem to be daydreaming of summer drives with the top down. Summertime is made for music such as this. Lovely stuff.

Time for some action

Due to family ties I was a regular attendee to some of London’s Illest poetry jams/slams. I do remember hearing these ladies name mentioned a few times as ones to watch but i was never able to catch them live. Thedn I stumbled across one half of them smashing it on Blind Alphabetz Luvolution album. Well they got an album coming real soon & it’s superb too. That reminds me, I gotta big up Kat (fam), Oneness (Queen) & That dude (i forgot his name) who killed it at the spoken word awards slam a couple of years ago with a superb skit about mobile phones (vocal wizardry). Anyway, enjoy!

I a little thought I decided it was time to enter the world of the compilation. I’ve been on this blogging thing for long enough now. Besides, such is the number new releases & new artists that i find/discover everyday that this may become a regular thing (pending reactions of course). I decided to cover as much of the Hip Hop sphere as possible. As well as the usual US & UK suspects i’ve also got Poland, Sweden, Germany, Brazil, Switzerland, Australia & Japan covered this go round. I’ve got more covered for the next one so click the pic or the link at the bottom peepz. Enjoy!!!

You know the saying ‘Your favourite MC’s favourite MC’. Well the 4 pieces of work above are by this bloggers favourite producer. Everytime I get something new from Small Pro I eulogise about how talented this guy is. His beats just seem to speak my (Hip Hop) language. Well this time it’s not 1 but 2 new projects from the man. The 1st (top left pic) ‘Resurrected The Remix’ is as stated. CL Smooth, Talib Kweli, The Smile Rays, The Roots, Shawn Jackson & others get the treatment with amazing results. The 2nd installment (top right) sees Small showing homage to his larger predecessor & is also a superb piece of work. I also included SP’s glorious taker on Jay’s AG & a 3 track sample of Small’s instrumental Opus ‘SlowBus’. Surely more shine is gonna come this guys way sooner or later.

What Hip Hop is capable of…

Hip Hop isn’t dead, it’s official. Just when you think that there is no hope left for Hip Hop’s perception in the mainstream. Along comes a little reminder of what It is capable of. I usually do my own right ups of whatever comes my way but I thought it best to post this one as is.

Keep Reading!

Today marks the official digital release of Lowkey's single Tears to Laughter through iTunes. The single was first heard when he performed it as a poem at the London protests against the Gaza massacre at the beginning of the year. It has already become the unofficial soundtrack to many protests, university occupations and fundraising events for
Gaza and Palestine across the UK. Lowkey and the single have already received support from the likes of Palestine Solidarity, Tony Benn (Stop the War), Lauren Booth (Aloha Palestine) and George Galloway MP (Respect Party/Viva Palestina). Lowkey and his
record label SO Empire Recordings will be donating all their profits from the sales of the single to the DEC's Gaza appeal.

Untitled


"The Palestinian people of Gaza have suffered and continue to suffer a terrible injustice. We need everyone of goodwill to give them whatever support is possible. Lowkey has produced a brilliant song to express his solidarity with Gaza and Palestine. I hope you will buy it and listen to it. Above all, I hope you will be inspired by it to do whatever you can to
ensure that we all remember Gaza and that the call for Palestine to be free grows ever louder."

George Galloway MP

mail.google.com “This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza,
This is for a child that is searching for an answer,
I wish I could take their tears and replace them with laughter,
Long Live Palestine, Long Live Gaza...”
