Ever since my initiation into what this crew is about, via M9's High Fidelity, I have yet to be disappointed with any aspect of a single one of this crews releases thus far. Their longplayer's soundscapes are by and large an ode to Boom Baps time of greatness. A supreme collection of beats either taken from, inspired by, or akin to, what many call 'The Golden Age'. But what makes all these releases stand out even more are the constant gems being dropped all over each release. The perils of Gang warfare, terrorism, the 9 to 5, paying the bills, parenthood, education and more are topics that are regularly broken down and dissected for the masses. The latest to step out from such esteemed shadows is Phoenix Da Icefire. Baptism Under Fire follows the aforementioned formula to a tee. It ain't broken and due to the vast back catalogue of golden tinged loveliness they can call upon, and the awesome beatskills of peepz such as Chemo and Beat Butcha, is probably never going to be. As usual, you'll recognised some of the beats on show while others will be on the tip of your tongue (Shazam was no use to me either). Mos Def's Ultramagnetic, ODB's Brooklyn Zoo and Capone N Noreaga's Illegal Life are the most well known of Phoenix's backdrops of choice. In some ways you could say that using such well regarded source material is an obvious Course of action. Yet with the amount of third rate mixtapes doing the rounds these days maybe it isn't. Some more established MCs/crews release albums that are inferior to most mixtapes. These guys release mixtapes that are far superior to most albums. Phoenix is no exception.

I guess this means that the weed up these is as good as the stuff down here. Seeing as I shied away from such activities when my princess entered the world i am unable to comment. But the tunes are niceness though. The quirky sample threw me at first. The DSG mixtape Music For Spaceships, is on it’s way soon. Enjoy!

Gordon Browns’ integrity is not in question. Anyone with an ounce of common sense, no matter which party you support (with the possible exception of BNP) will not question his inentions. Those same people should however, be taking the sun newspaper to task over their manipulation of a grieving mother and her dead sons memory. The extent to which they attacked the Priminister was simply disgraceful. Attack the policies not the person.
Then we have Mrs Janes. Here is a woman who clearly was not in any sort of emotional state to react objectively to what was going on and was totally unprepared for the ever expanding snowball that she had created. The editorial powers that be at The Suns head quarters must have damn near caused a tremor with all the jumping for joy they must have been doing.. Little did they know that they would soon be ducking for cover from all the verbal ammunition flying their way. Apparently a neighbour told Mrs Janes to record the telephone conversation. I'm guessing that neighbour happens to have friends in editorial roles at The Sun. Bare in mind the suns interest is not policy driven. They are going to back who they think will win at the next general election.. The problem with that is ultimately it is we the public who will decide.
You can question the morality of The Sun, you can question the practices of the Prime Ministers aides but you cannot question the Intergrity of Gordon Brown on this issue.
