![Calez - Intermission MP3 [2008ighties]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/calez/calez-frontpage.jpg "Calez - Intermission MP3 [2008ighties]") Starting with an a weird repetitive sound and 808 I thought this could turn out to be some southern shit. Normally wouldn't check for this, but something about this track made me give it a go. Immediately I was hooked as Calez's off key rhymes made the skimpy production make sense. Flosstradamus has produced a slow head nodder with a hypnotic Odd Future feel. What seems simple is peppered with percussive touches that give the beat depth. Its the new wave and Calez should soon be recognised as being at the head of this movement.

![Hired Gun - The Pressure MP3 [Indie]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/hired_gun_the_pressure-frontpage.jpg "Hired Gun - The Pressure MP3 [Indie]") Hired Gun the veteran Real Hip-Hop activist and emcee from Brooklyn comes back with another track called The Pressure. I was concerned when I heard the first few seconds of the track. That quickly disappeared when I heard the lyricism and the delivery. This is an artist that never ceases to amaze me. The lyrics are on point, the delivery is right-there and the lyrics speak truth.

![Inja - Pepper Sauce MP3 [INR]](http://www.britishhiphop.co.uk/images/stories/inja-pepper_sauce-frontpage.jpg "Inja - Pepper Sauce MP3 [INR]") Pepper Sauce is the next single to wet our appetites to Inja's forthcoming Bass Music / Escapism. He turns up the heat a little, relaxes a little and takes to the streets carnival style. The track is an explosive collaboration, blending the reggae production of Northern French DJ Edsik (Allouette Street Records) with Inja's lyrical hip-hop mastery.

Not always successful this a very had task to set ones-self.
