When outside observers think of Hip Hop, they tend to think of thugged out posers, so aggressive and in your face that it ends out intimidating and fake; or battle rappers, who, although superbly creative, are so intent on destroying the opponent that negativity reigns; or the abstract poets, imagination second to none, but so out there that only they ever know what theyre rapping about. There is a definite lack of social consciousness and, at the end of the day, just some good positive creativity.

DJ Juice's production grooves along (in the way a modified premo joint might) as Danny Spice cruises vocally on his latest track Money. Mr. Spice tells us in no uncertain terms ("You see me, ain't up in the game to be cool/ Or have MTV round to look at my pool/ I rap to because I have to") what he deems to be the state of realness in Hip Hop.

Debut 12"’ for new label Cog is this double sided banger from Danny Spice with the legendary Lewis Parker on the beats. A recent relocation to NY has seen Lewis tapping the pads for both big fish and small fry - from Ghostface to Jackie Danz and all with consistently fresh results. It’s also seen him adopt a bizarre yankee twang but he sticks to what he does best on this one, staying behind the boards and out of the mic booth.
