It may sound dramatic, but 2003 was a historical year: the invasion of Iraq took place and the Foreign Beggars released their debut album ‘Asylum Speakers’. Since then they have been like herpes, coming back when you least expect it.

Mention the name Lazy Habits and a wealth of words comes to mind. Not only have they made the rounds to every festival going, they have also graced the same stage as the legendary Mos Def himself. Citing influences from Roots Manuva, to Nina Simone and even Prince this eight strong band definitely knows how to shake up the boundaries of hip-hop. It was pleasure to have a chinwag with James (the front man) to find out what these crazy kids are all about.

Listening too HLI's debut EP, Omniglyph is like having an orgasm (without a condom) whilst tripping on magic mushrooms or in short: mind blowing hip-hop. There is nothing more enjoyable when hip-hop boys go all science fiction on us and get it right; with tracks like Unseen Universe, Elai Immortal and Sensei C (the duo who form this group) assassinate this song and others with their weaponry of words.
