Ramson Badbonez ft. Jehst, Micall Parknsun, Joker Starr, MysDiggi and more – Black Hole Cypher [Single]
Ramson Badbonez has been on fire for the last year and now he is focussing on his releases via New Dawn Records. For this one he has gathered a line up of MCs that you just would not believe. I love all this cross collaboration that has been occurring lately, but this one smashes the concept out of the park.
Ramson Badbonez – Black Hole Cypher / Rap to the Future 12″ [New Dawn Records]
New AA side single released today through New Dawn Records, the third to be taken from London producer / MC Ramson Badbonez' new album "Lead by Example" out on August 27th. This is not one you can afford to miss.
Mista Spyce ft. DV Alias Khryst – Bet My Life Prod. Sub One [Audio]
Mista Spyce aka Billie Splyff a long-time UK Hip Hop stalwart returns with a slow track entitled Bet My Life in which he drops knowledge and highlights his credentials alongside Brooklyn's DV Alias Khryst.
Shire Roots – Native Funk [Audio]
South West artist Shire Roots is back with his eclectic set of influences. Native Funk sees some Nyabinghi drums and slow harmonium produce a down beat backing over which Shire Roots gets busy, details his history and explores the opening of his third eye.
Jibbarish – Psycho-Analyse [Video]
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.
Sonny BLK, Trauma 74, Peterz, Dotz – HARD [Video]
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.
Roots Manuva – So Jazzy [Video]
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 – Smoke Filled Room [Video]
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.
K*Ners – Who We Are Prod. 6th Floor [Audio]
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.
Lee Scott and Hyroglifics – A Most Difficult Path [Audio]
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.
