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 [...]
UK Hip Hop producer Mankub and Dephect’s DJ Getz just released a really dope project, Tales of the Lost Breed. Featuring just over an hour of Mankub beats, Getz has expertly chopped them together with classic (generally US) accapellas over the top. The beats rep that classic boom bap sound and do a great job [...]
DJ Premier’s back catalogue is basically unmatched in Hip Hop, working with such a long list of fine pedigree MCs that it would be easier to name the classics he hasn’t been a part of. With a distinctive style that’s infectiously neck snapping and some of the finest drums about, it’s no wonder he’s considered [...]
After a trip to Atlanta in 2011, Leicester born producer Nat Powers cemented links in the US Hip Hop scene and has since been forging a healthy production career alongside some of the most well known names in the business, working heavily alongside his mentor Sam Sneed, a former Death Row producer.

Despite the face that New Jersey based Ambinate has got a fair few releases under his Bandcamp belt, dating back to October 2010, it would be fair to say he’s still a relative newcomer to the electronic music scene. But that’s not to say the music isn’t of a high quality. Taking inspiration across the [...]

Alongside a screening of Michael Rapaport’s award winning ‘Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest’, which I [...]
Questlove is a producer who should need no introduction to the Hip Hop heads. As part of the Roots, he’s released eleven albums, four of which won Grammy awards, as well as producing for a massive range of other artists over the past few decades. Alongside him for this Soundcrash date that should prove unforgettable [...]
LA Rapper Intuition‘s go to beat maker, Equalibrum, doesn’t only drop monsters alongside his rap counterpart, providing the majority of beats for Intuition’s 2010 album Girls Like Me for example, but has also just released an incredible free instrumental album, his debut solo project. Rather than take the beat tape route, he’s delicately crafted an [...]
As you’ve probably noticed, we are fond of vinyl here at Broken Culture, so the recently released video for Benga’s I Will Never Change track is right up our street. Directed by Us, a design and direction studio comprised of two very talented media heads, it’s one of those ideas that will have wax lovers [...]
Rhymesayers have been one of my favourite US based hip hop labels for a while now, pushing the soulful, storytelling sounds of Minneapolis heads like Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Eyedea and Abilities. They regularly release top quality material with a distinct Rhymesayers sound and produce high quality products in terms of CDs and records. What’s more, [...]
