More... It certainly takes something special to pave a path to success in the current hip-hop climate.

Beginning with the release of his first mixtape 'Hip Hop Supa Hero' hosted by Mick Boogie ... More... Our man, the Hip Hop Informant caught up with Charlie Slum and found out about his background, influences and got his views on some of the most pressing topics of our time including talking on the current state of Hip Hop, Pittsburgh and the happenings in Ferguson. Read on to find out more.
More... The Jazz Spastiks, The Jazz Spastiks! Yes I said it twice for a reason. As soon as I heard their music I knew they were geniuses and wanted to know more about this mysterious outfit and what’s going on generally. They told me stuff, here are my findings…
More... Releasing his debut album "Timing Is Everything" on 22nd July, Kid Vishis has emerged as one of Detroit's most talented lyricists over the past ten years. While still at school, his skills were honed during the "family freestyle basement sessions" with his elder brother Royce da 5 9, before touring initially as the Slaughterhouse ... More... Since hearing their song '28 Draws Later' last year, I've been keen to know more about Bristolian left-wing Hip-Hoppers Bob Savage and Jenre of QELD.

Even from a young age, the legacy of Triple Darkness lyricist Iron Braydz seemed almost written in the stars. Finding entertainment in the Harlesden playgrounds reciting Kriss Kross' 'Jump', he quickly built a reputation for rhyming, regularly reciting Wu-Tang Clan lyrics in what he called "who knows Wu" lyric battles as a child.

![QELD - USSR MP3 [Indie]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/qeld/qeld-ussr-frontpage.jpg "QELD - USSR MP3 [Indie]") If you didn't gather from the previous review and interview I did with Bristol Hip-Hoppers QELD, I like them a lot. Their beats are crafted around old soul records and samplers; while their rhymes are based upon Socialist/left-wing ideas, and bleed together wonderfully with a number of personal issues.

![Funky DL - Jazzmatic 2 Remixes LP [Washington Classics]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/funky_dl-jazzmatic2-frontpage.jpg "Funky DL - Jazzmatic 2 Remixes LP [Washington Classics]") Hip-hop and jazz have made a synonymous marriage in music since the late 1980s and the two have helped bridge the gap of not only generations of music lovers, but also tastes.
