I don’t know how many times I can stress this…. DO NOT sleep on Sonnyjim! Hot on the heels of the awesome Psychonaut LP, comes the even better (yes better!) Psychonaut Remix LP. The venom exhibited by Sonnyjim is the stuff of legend and the one liners!?! But the key is the different vibe that comes through this time round. The Boom Bap backbone is evident but rather than smacking you aurally in the head it seems that Jim has now decided that more concentrated slaps are the order of the day.
The album is available HERE
peep the evidence after the break…
Can Nicolay do any wrong? What about one or two tracks from his Here, album I hear those that know utter. hmmm well that as may be but this EP tips its head superbly to the second of the City Lights releases. So if you want to get an idea of what your ears will be pleasured by if you make it to Nics tour (aided by the super talented Hot At Nights) Grab this now! This tour needs to reach London at some point! enjoy!
Whoa! This one passed me by. Mick Boogie has put together an awesome ATCQ compilation, or as he calls it, a lost Tribe album (of sorts). Remixes & rarities ahoy. My favourite Hip Hop group/collective/artists period> Enjoy!
Small Pro has been mad busy lately. The 3rd of his ‘Jawns’ is now upon us and for me, they only get better with each release. Also sprining forth as freeness vis DJ Booth is the Pro’s remixes of Illmind’s collective, Fortilive. This is my current regular rotation number 1. It is awesome listening! Don’t sleep folks. Enjoy!
Thabo has been staple go to ‘hook man’ of sorts on a fair few stellar releases in the last few years. Jack Flash, Asaviour, J-Simple, DJ IQ are a few of those that have requested his services. With his band, The Real Deal, Thabo’s second coming is via the acoustic soul route and their first outing is a short but very good EP that gives off the feeling of a late night jam session. Niceness! Grab yours now. Enjoy!
Krate Krusaders, whether as a duo or gong solo never let me down. This time Split Prophets are the beneficiaries of Badhabits beat skills for their debut longplayer. Scribbled Thoughts is a great mesh of upfront Boom Bap and easy going vocal style. But don’t let the vibe alay your attention from the thought provoking onle liners sprinkled through out. Technically you can download the album for free but it more than deserves a little monetary support so don’t be too stingy, even in the current economic climate (damn i sound like George Osbourne!) Enjoy!
Split Prophets – Scribbled Thoughts
check out the interview the Prophets did with Certified Banger after the break
Call me quirky, call me weird or call me mad but I love these guys music (and others like them) Superb!
Judging by the first 2 singles there is a defini change in sound from dudes first awesome effort. Should make for an interesting listen. This on would make for a great bum shaker though. Enjoy!
