Award winning North London rapper Supar Novar teams up with long time collaborator Show N Prove for this 16-track album full of emotional reflection and strait up bangers. The two first collaborated on Novar's 2006 debut 'From The Beginning' with the albums first single 'Reppin'. This track hit the UK Hip-Hop scene with a bang and demonstrated a partnership that was destined to create greatness.

Supar Novar is back with his brand new mixtape Here I Am mixed by Show N Prove. This future UK classic showcases some of Supar Novar's best work to date and features collobarations with the likes of Dappy, MCD, Danny Bones, Big Ben, Ragz Sweet Jones, Terra Slim, Yaeo, Barry Knight, Mr 13, Big Frizzle and more, as well as some quality production from Dead Man Walkn, Farma G, Show N Prove, Supar Novar and more.

Inspired by their radio show on Itch FM, Nemesis and Arrogance bring you Da Real Sho, their follow-up to 2007's excellent Lend Me Your Ears. On only four of the tracks here do N & A go it alone, many guests from the UK Hip Hop and Grime scenes grace the other tracks.

UK Hip Hop legend Wordsmith is a week away from the release of his second album In Pursuit of Harmony. 18 tracks of pure goodness that will easily be one of the UK albums of the year can be yours in 7 days. In the meantime, check out what the man himself has to say about it and some other things (including his US namesake, his new label, the album's guestlist and his social involvement):

After the release of the critically acclaimed They Don't Seem to Care Ep, Wordsmith launches his eagerly anticipated album In Pursuit of Harmony on Def Ethics recordings. With impressive integrity, style and perception, this is an outstanding body of work. Introspective lyricism combined with raw presence and charisma perfected over a decade, mark Wordsmith out as a British MC with heart and passion.

Hitting the road again after all his hard work in the studio, Wordsmith is going all out to promote his forthcoming album "In Pursuit of Harmony". One of the UK's strongest MC's is back on stage where he belongs. An awesome live performer his presence on the microphone makes an impact wherever he goes. Crowd rocking beats and scratches combined with raw charisma, wit and lyrical dexterity.

If the aim of ‘Food 4 Da Brain Second Serving’ wasn’t to serve up a platter of perfectly complementing flavours then I’ll eat my hat. If that is what they set out to do then they’ve royally achieved it. The menu offers up tracks from the finest chefs on either side of the UK Hip Hop / Grime divide; in fact it tastily demonstrates the breaking down of the boundary.

Wordsmith (the one from the UK) has an album ('In Pursuit of Harmony') out soon on the Def Ethics label. Meanwhile he has given us an excellent EP in the ‘They Don’t Seem To Care’ 12”.

The Leeds By Example project (see LeedsByExample.com) first dropped this CD around a year back to positive reviews, but the team behind it obviously feel that it hasn't yet reached every member of it's potential target audience as there's an official re-release under way.

This is apparently Leeds’ first Hip Hop compilation. Coming from Leeds originally, this is something which interests me. Leeds has always had a vibrant Hip Hop scene and this CD brings together some of the current talent. The CD features already established artists like Breaking The Illusion and Junkyard Tactics.
