The UK is sooooo hot right now, the world is waiting for the next big thing and everybody on this island is having a bash at it! Am surprised to see DJ Manny Norte throwing his two decks in the mix, its been longtime me nah see ya breadbin! Im not taking the piss but i cant help but laugh whilst watching this he’s doing that whole 90’s producer in a video thing, its hard to take him seriously…however the years of training he’s had behind the decks and in the scene he’s got the diddy pose well and truely locked! J2K and Dready complete the line-up for the single ‘Breakin all the rules’ which is out now in the UK (at Tescos apparently, genius Manny just genius!).
In my recreational haze of a memory i always thought my short hairstyle circa 1996 was inspired by the infamous T-Boyz from TLC however recent discoveries in my tape box (Born Gangsta) and on youtube have rejogged that memory…i can now confirm that my sweet 16 style icon was in fact Boss. A milli, a milli, a militant rapper, whose name stood for Bitch On Some Shit, clad head to toe in black (of course) and looking like a tru G, i so need to get a tape player, this album is RIDICULOUS! Check out ‘i dont give a f**k’ for the most swearing in a chorus i think ever, for now this is Deeper!
Watkin Tudor Jones is a f**king bad man master of disguises, if you don’t know (well you actually probably do because as i’ve said before he’s Die Antwoords frontman) get to know! For all those waiting to be schooled please take the time to watch part 7 of the MZANSI documentary on youtube to see Da Ninja in his former dayze as the wild life cookin, golf playing, short wearing, dark haired cape town lothario Waddy Jones
Sat at christmas dinner last night my primary school friends husband informed me about Joaquin Phoenix and his apparent bout of craziness last year when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a rapping career. Have i really been that disconnected for a whole 12 months that i couldn’t have heard that the former Leaf Phoenix (did we ever get a reason why he changed his name?) had gone a little bit loco? (more…)
Well i wasn’t gonna go as i was supposed to be gigging else where but when this got canceled and the calls started coming in from friends in Manc for the event, it didn’t take to long to convince me to get my arse down to the first WHP of the year in conjunction with Hospitality... (more…)
Kano one of the UK’s best mc’s in my books is set to release a new album next year featuring some pretty interesting production credits from Hot-Chip, Radio Clit and Boyz Noize…its quite an exciting project for this young fella from London, his fourth album! However after watching this video (on Miss Fiddys Blog) i think ill save my personal giddyness for next the single… (more…)
Heard this back at beginning of August after it surfaced on a few blogs, Mistajam was of course on it from day but i dunno if he’s played it in his show yet, i really should listen back more… (more…)
What a perfect song and an even more perfect artist to find on such a perfect day. Fresh out of London town Speech Debelle is turning the sunset in my back garden into a rustic faraway scene. Honest lyrics i can understand, flows like water…natural and confident, enjoy as i am right now the song for the day Searching, avaliable on Itunes.
