The first single from the forthcoming album 'Full Moon' by Jibbarish of Iron Bridge. On this one Jibbarish explores his suicidal thoughts. Full of dark themes and disturbing insights, the track sees Jib's alter-ego posing the opposite side of the story. Overall its an uplifting track that asks you do not do something premature and stick with it.

This track HARD was made a long while ago. It was apparently supposed to be the start of a Evil Twin Records "Supergroup" but sadly that never quite happened. As the crew says, 'Life gets in the way sometimes...' Anyway, its great that the track has been released as some serious skills are on display as the MCs show exactly how to kill a beat.

Who would have expected, the return of Roots Manuva? He's back with the aptly titled So Jazzy a gentle production full of trumpets and double bass. A slight change in style, his voice also is a bit cleaner. In the chorus Rodney Smith pays homage to Jazzie B. Rhymes are made overt in part due to special emphasis and pronunciation exaggerated by Root's unique style.

Juga-Naut and Giallo Point have teamed up for a belter of a track. Smoke Filled Room is dedicated to the artists that paved the way, the legends of history, and is a thank you to them. Great samples and expressive lyrics denote how Juga-Naut is becoming one to look out for.

Bristol born MC K*Ners is back with an anthemic track. The track features big orchestral production with electronic strings and synth pads from 6th Floor. Touching on topics such as previous failures K*Ners details how he has kept strong and is back on the grind. This truth is Who We Are.

After a few months hiatus Blah Records is back with a dark and brooding offering from Lee Scott and Bristol based artist Hyroglifics. This is a more standard classic Hip Hop track with a simple piano loop and transposition as well as a murky beat. This makes A Most Difficult Path a severe head nodder which will go on repeat.

After his bars in the booth Edinburgh based MC D.M is back this time dropping a music video for the track 'Times Have Changed'. D.M drops lyrics which detail how he has developed and explains his plans in case his future does not turn out as he planned. D.M also points out it is not sensible to detail all your crimes in your lyrics!
