Choong Family are blowing up the UK Hip Hop scene right now.  Memory Lane is on the Choice FM A list, BBC 1Xtra B list and The Higher Elevation album has received amazing feedback for radio stations (see Fact File attached)  The boys are receiving nuff love on the Music Channels too, four videos deep and in the process of making the fifth, Choong Family are ones to watch out for.
 

Be sure to check the new animated series of Creature Comforts (ITV) from award winning Aardman Animations and look out for the Bling Dogs characters. As you probably know the voices are real life conversations and are filmed before the animation is done. For these dogs the voices are provided by Keith Lawrence and his brother Brian Cooper.
 

Oshin the Nomad of 57th Dynasty fame and later his own independently produced and directed UK docudrama series entitled Independent Hype, is now having his work acknowledged by way of his Screen Nation Film & Television Award.
 

Fatlip (from the Pharcyde) is coming out with a new album this Tuesday called "The Loneliest Punk". Anyone here a fan of the Pharcyde? This album is going to be tight!! It has Chali Tuna from Jurassic 5 as well as Shock G & Humpty Hump of Digital Underground. As well as this Spike Jonez did a documentary called "What's Up Fatlip?" - which is hilarious! I've been into Fatlip and Delicious Vinyl for a while now and can't wait to hear this. Check out itunes.
