Kista, a Scarborough based producer and connoisseur of that classic sound, has been bubbling under the surface in Hip Hop and repping hard for the underground for a while now, having made a bit of a name through his Organic Pulsation in 1998 and going on to collaborate with overseas MC’s such as Jan Whitfield [...]
A video released earlier this year for Hampshire based MC JPEG’s track A bitter Abyss dropped in my inbox yesterday and was one of those, coming from a name I wasn’t previously aware of, that really took my by suprise with just how dope it is. Over a beat by Small Town Boredom MC/Producer Benny [...]
It’s not often a massive multinational superbrand like Ikea takes notices of the hip hop scene in our little country, but Ikea have recently done that and used Uk production stalwart Harry Love and his mouth watering collection of records for a new promotional video. After you his mess of a studio and how it [...]
It’s not often something completely original, forward thinking and simply dope just steps into the UK Hip Hop scene out of the blue, but that’s exactly what Surrey/South London MC Cutta Chase has done recently, flexing that pen hand hard with a ridiculous work rate that’s had him dropping full length free releases as if [...]
You gotta love Mystro. Not only is his music dope, and accompanied by a stage show that puts most to shame, but he also doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, something that can’t be said for many rappers. I loved the ‘UK Rap Up’ he did last year so what better way to celebrate [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Dual nationality rapper Andy Kayes learnt his trade spitting both English and French on the underground hip hop scene out in France and is admittedly someone I hadn’t heard of up until this point. But seeing a Facebook post by Micall Parknsun I was intrigued, and even more so when the presenter and videographer behind [...]
Nottingham duo dRamatic & dbAudio burst onto the d&b scene in the last few years in a big way. With releases on V Records, Good Looking. Innerground, Mars and Ingredients, their d&b CV is already overflowing with quality, but there’s still plenty in the pipeline for these two. Their forthcoming Indian Summer Ep on Flexout [...]
Uk producer and MC Humble Pious sent over his latest project, a free to download nine track album, a little while ago that I’ve been really enjoying. With guest production from J. Billa and Tipps, and guest verses from Wordsmith and Reminisce, it’s a nice little offering from a producer/rapper to watch out for in [...]
