Mr Shaodow (pronounced Sha-ow-dough) from the group Elementz Bound is a London rapper who is now studying Business and Law in Oxford. He decided to form the cryptic name Shaodow by combining two elements that he knew would be his constant companions throughout life, his love for Kung Fu and his silhouette.

In fact, Afro Reggae run deeper than music... as the press release states:

I've recently been sent a couple of pieces from record shop / label Mr Bongo's giving me a little insight into Brazilian music and culture. I guess a lot of people's knowledge of Brazil encompasses soccer, some of the world's finest Drum & Bass , the film Cidade De Deus and the video to Snoop's "Beautiful "... mine certainly doesn't go a lot further. I'm aware that it's a former Portugese colony in South America with a reputation for great weather and fine women, made significantly less joyous by grinding poverty and a shockingly high crime rate.

The story of how Late & Lil Tec come to do this mixtape is a sad one. For those deep Wolftown fans you'll have probably heard of Lil Tec spit on 'The Thug & The Villain' on Late's 'Villainous One' release a few years back. This collobo was hooked up by the late great American mixtape genius Big Gee Damme who sadly passed away just after mixing his mix for Wolftown entitled 'The Empire Strikes Back'. |

More evidence of Team AFF Europe doing big things. Here we see Ophax & Tricksta team up for a nice UK / USA mix that really hits the spot. Ophax gets the ball rolling nicely with some killer cuts from Nativity, as well as some killer bars from some underground cats such as Billz, D-Dash, Big Skeem, Switch and The League. |
