With the launch of their new EP “Alphabetix Anonymous”, there’s a group on the horizon who look set to send a fresh wave of funky hip-hop out to the masses. The “Alphabetix” are fast gaining a solid reputation up North, with the release of their debut EP doing nothing but favours for their reputation further a field.
Easy all... I've been lucky enough to link with the very talented people at HHBRadio.com and am now doing a live Straight Out Leodis mix show for them.
