You’ve gotta love those weeks when Hip Hop is rife on Youtube, with fresh videos popping up left right and center from old and new heads alike. The past week hit that nail perfectly.

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 [...]

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 [...]
