I’ve always loved the style of street art collective The London Police (and am even more fond of the fact that they trump the real London Police Force in Google searches). It’s bold, fun and intrinsically linked to the Hip Hop culture we all know and love through thick black lines and shell toe sneakers. [...]
I’m loving the recent boom of high quality, well produced skate videos with a cultural element, and Kilian Martin’s latest offering by film maker Brett Novak is definitely the cream of the crop. Bringing back that classic Rodney Mullen turn of the century style, Kilian takes to the stunning streets of India in golden sunshine [...]
No, this isn’t the kiddy sitting next to you on the Northern line bumping Wu Tang at ear splitting levels, but another episode of some of the illest Hip Hop to hit Youtube of late. From UK heads through grimey US basements, it’s all linked by two international releases that have got me especially hyped: [...]
Since the internet spawned an overflow of bmx and skate videos, it’s easy for them to become stale. Tricks are often repeated in throwaway 4 minute sections of film that will neither be remembered or truly appreciated, so it’s nice when someone comes with something fresh and well thought out. Enter The Diggest a creative [...]
There’s no doubting that Outlook Festival is just a little bit special (you’ve only got to read our 2011 review to see that), but there promo material this year is something else. Going beyond simply advertising the festival, they assembled a team of young videographers and small production crews to each focus on a particular [...]
My opinion is largely divided on Odd Future; there’s no doubt they’re talented but the style seems to only work half the time for me. When it does click however, it’s straight dope and Earl Sweatshirt’s new track Whoa is definitely one of those times. There’s something about Earl Sweatshirt’s flow that’s just unbelievable; it’s [...]
With the rise of the internet and services where artists can self promote even without a label, the ‘Major vs Indie’ debate is raging hotter then ever with the music industry completely changing the way it works, something that will no doubt continue. Kareem Fort, a documentary producer and CEO of Hip Hop label HipNott [...]
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. From Sonnyjim demolishing Rappertag to fresh Fliptrix and Cutta Chase videos, there’s plenty to keep a head happy, and way too [...]
Adam the Rapper and his producer Cuth (who also recently did a dope Ep with Frankie Stew) dropped a really nice 10 track Ep back in September 2012. Entitled The Letters, soulful, boom bap beats and clever rhymes make it a smooth listen but Adam’s flow and style is also really original. He’s got a [...]
There’s no knocking what MX riders do on a day to day basis; those bikes they ride are heavier then they look and they go very fast, very far and very high on them. Having said that, it’s always nice when an extra level of interest is added and that’s exactly what DC’s latest video [...]
