Hip Hop and Breakz

Starting on Sunday the 25th of January at 10pm until midnight, I will be playing a new show on Crackers Radio  playing Classic 80s and 90s Hip Hop along with a wide variety of breaks that inspired the Hip Hop tunes.  You can listen live on the Crackers website or stream it from their Mixcloud site .

This is a great track by some serious UK MCs produced by DJ Premier.  The beat is sick and of course thats very important but the lyricists are dope too.  Plus you can pick this up for less than a big bottle of Bulmers.  Seriously though this is dope and so are the other track from their upcoming album; Silent Flight and Old Earth.  The album drops on February 12th and is called Natural Order.  You can get all the currently available joints from the groups Band Camp page here   The group is made up Verb T, Fliptrix, Leaf Dog and BVA MC.  Verb T should be a known name to Uk heads for the dope work he has done with Harry Love in the past but the others are new to me but certainly worth keep an eye .

Here is some footage from the recent Run the Jewels concert at KoKo's in Camden in London.  As you can see they put on a great show and certainly had the crowd under control.

Ever since Premier and Royce teamed up for the classic 12" "Boom" fans have been clamouring for more collaborations from these two Hip Hop generals.  There have been a few joints paring these two up since "Boom" and they have been great tunes for the most part.  Now ten years after the release of that 12" we have an album from Primo and Royce, nine tracks all produced by DJ Premier.  There are some guests appearances from Common, Jay Electronica, Ab Soul, Mac Miller, Dwele, Killer Mike, Schoolboy Q and Slaughterhouse.  Although the album is entirely produced by DJ Premier he uses samples of live instruments and those live instruments are played by Adrian Younge, who you might remember produced "12 Reasons to die" album for Ghostface back in 2013.  The album is released on DJ Premier and Royce's own label PRhyme Records.  Not only is PRhyme the name of the label its also the name of the group that Premier and Royce make up. Track one is ...

DJ Scott- Deep Fried- 11th December- Crackers Radio by Crackers Radio on Mixcloud This is my radio shows form 11th December.  Back on air on the 8th of January.

After the relatively disappointing Wu Tang album it was comforting to see that Ghostface was releasing his 11th (Damn) studio album on December the 9th.  This is a concept album based around Tony Starks' return to Staten Island after nine years away from the Island,  he is after a quiet life but of course that would not make for a good album.  The album itself is fourteen tracks long and released on Tommy Boy.  Production is supplied by a number on non Wu producers and features guest spots form AZ, Kool G Rap and Pharoahe Monch amongst others.  This album follows on from his 2013 concept albums "12 reasons to die" which was a strong original album that deserved numerous listens. The first track is called "The Battlefield" and is produced by MOP's Fizzy Womack and the Revelations.  Kool G Rap, AZ and Tre Williams all join Ghostface on the Mic for a heavy track.  It features a mid tempo drum break and a nice electric guitar loop.  Tre Williams ...
