So before going on to smash up Rhythm Factory last night, our buddies MIK and Pedro 123 graced Just Jam with an awesome set. You may also catch the occasional “Big up management!”. That’s me.. It’s no big deal though I don’t like to talk about it.
Everyone’s favourite grime crew hits us with the Boom Remix video. BOOM! BOOM!
And then there was this awesome freestyle video they did after the shoot (I’ve posted this already I know)
Track taken from Clear Soul Forces album Detroit Revolution(s).
If you’re looking for a party tonight, we’re spinning at Rhythm Factory in Whitechapel for Liminal Sounds 003. Randomer headlines.
Benny Banks has serious talent. Don’t sleep on this kid.
I don’t know much about who/what Strange Universe is/are, but this track featuring Shadow Star Boxer and produced by Om Unit (pictured above) is dope. The retro futuristic video below is well worth checking out in and of itself. They have some more cool videos up on their youtube channel here.
JME divides opinion, but you can’t knock his work rate. I’m feeling this tune. Decent video too. Out on Jan 15th.
Prolific Seattle based hip hop producer Keyboard Kid 206 has just dropped the sick new ‘Cosmonaut‘ EP, which is available to preview and buy now via his bandcamp. Largely known for his work with Lil B, it is his instrumental mixtapes that I would recommend checking out. I will leave it to him to describe the new EP in his own words…
“This Album Was Made To Simulate What A Trip Through #BASEDWORLD Moving @ High Flying Speeds while Swaggin To The Max With a Spaceship Full of Green Alien Bitches That Have 3 Huge Tits Smoking and Rolling Up Loud Is Like..Trust I have Done This With The BasedGod. The BasedGod Sent Me Back To Share The Experience…He Also Crowned Me NW God”
Check out recent mixtapes ‘Based In The Rain 666′ and ‘The Mind Is So Complex When Your Based’ on his bandcamp as well. Listen to his exclusive mix for the Brighton-based Donky Pitch label here and watch out for an EP coming out on the label in 2012!
Amazing music from Portico Quartet, taken from their forthcoming album in January. Download ‘Ruins‘ for free here.
Produced by Sukh Knight (True Tiger)
Forthcoming on Braindead Entertainment 23rd Jan 2012.
If you don’t know who Footsie is, and you really ought too because he’s been in the game since day dot, check out Bobby P’s interview with him here. Proper.
Check this Christmas offering from London Hip-Hop crew Piff Gang. We put you on them a while back (click here). Here’s 17 tracks, free, to get lifted too. Mary Piffmas!
While you’re waiting check the video for Jiff Gang…
And this highlight reel of footage from Rotterdam and Birmingham shows…
Sometimes a freestyle video comes along and you think, THIS IS TOO MUCH.
THIS is TOO MUCH!
Big up FT
The way they know each other’s bars is great. Not only that though, the way they remix each other’s bars – it makes them one of the most interesting crews to grace the grime scene.
Former Boys In The Hood MC, Tex has dropped this video for his track ‘Lifted.’ His mixtape ‘Tale of the Tape’ is well worth checking out, click here.
Freddie Gibbs doing what he does. The track is taken from his album, which you can get for free, Cold Day In Hell.
Does exactly what it says on the tin…
I was really impressed with the quality of clashes on #LOTM3, and everyone’s performance, with perhaps one exception, was very strong. As such, it’s only right to spread the word about those who repped in the basement. Someone who impressed me with his own unique style of bars and delivery was Manchester’s Hypes. Shout out to Tezz Kid as well, because in my own opinion, their clash was the most exciting bar for bar. Lord Of The Mics is available to buy from itunes and you can get Hypes’ mixtape for free here.
