After the Sloshpot EP alongside Mr Boss earlier this year (check our review here), it was only a matter of time before Uk Hip Hop’s favourite loudmouth Dirty Dike was back, this time with his third solo album. What I was unsure of however, was which way the album would go in. Sloshpot showcased both [...]
A brand new series of posts, Forthcoming provides the tips on the soon to be released albums you should have an ear to the ground on. These are the albums we’re really looking forward to getting our mitts on that we’re tipping as the hottest releases over the next few months. Don’t sleep. Telemachus- In [...]
Dirty Dike never steps far away from the UK Hip Hop scene, recently dropping verses on fellow High Focus member’s albums for example, but it’s been a little while since his last solo release (Constant Dikestar way back in early 2011) so news of a new EP from the laughter loving, piss taking Cambridge MC [...]
Ever since Fliptrix’s High Focus label started releasing accapellas alongside their vinyl albums, there’s been all sorts of incredible remixes popping out of the woodwork, from straight up Hip Hop reworks to beats that quickly switch up the genre of the original. Although they’re not all top quality, there’s some really nice tunes coming out [...]
I’ve been loving young gun Benaddict’s style recently, the quality of which is luckily matched by his work rate, putting out a wealth of free EPs and mixtapes in the last few months. His latest release, The Cat Suit Ep, sees him pairing up with Dirty Dike, who’s currently in the build up to his [...]
Eyes lost in the vapour swirling from the rim of my second cup of tea, I suddenly realise that during the course of writing this review I’ve made more cups of tea than words. I barely even drink tea, but I’ve been sitting here for a while now, fingers poised on the F and J [...]
Real freestyle has become somewhat of a lost art recently; Youtube videos feature the word in the title when actually they feature nothing of the sort, rap battles are generally pre-written and most MCs stepping to the cypher are armed with their latest bars rather then straight off the dome wit. However, there are still [...]
Strolling around in the wreckage of Boom Bap Festival (watch out for the review soon), brainless from 3 heavy days of the finest hip hop and alcohol abuse, I felt like nothing more then a conscious-less animal aimlessly wandering barren lands. My one saving grace was looking forward to the flood of videos that would [...]
Young producer Mr. Boss suprised a few UK Hip Hop heads when his free debut LP, The Landing, dropped in with a massive thud to make necks swivel in 2010. Featuring a whole host of the UK’s creme de la creme, but not simply all the usual suspects, on the mic, his tight, weighty beats [...]
Brightonian crew Concept of Thought just dropped their debut mixtape, a ten track viber available as a name your price download. Right from the first track, Our Thought, it’s a fairly chilled, reflective offering with chilled, jazzy beats, plenty of smooth pianos and a whole host of deep lyricism and smokey flows. Lokane produced This [...]
