Loving this new track from Dres - the video goes really well with the lyrics as Dres parodies all these flossy, jiggy rappers. This is the first single from From 'The Black Pool Of Genius: The Prelude', available December 1st.

Track:Rockin With The Best
Precise Da Analyzer (an MC who impressed me on the Rapsploitation Sessions compilation CD) is readying himself (and us) for the release of his LP by dropping this free to download single. 'Rockin With The Best' is the title track - some good solid Hip Hop with name drops ranging from Pete Docherty to KRS One to a range of history's best (or worse) dicatators - turns out Precise is rockin' with ...

If you have heard the latest Foreign Beggars LP then you’ll know of their follow-up single – ‘Seven Figure Swagger’ featuring Dubbledge and Badness.‘Seven Figure Swagger’ is a healthy serving of sparse, futuristic Electro-Hop courtesy of Holland’s Rednaz. Dubbledge comes a

Album:Soulscapes & Jazz Breaks
Pat D and Lady Paradox have returned with a brilliant LP by all accounts. Any one of this album’s elements on its own would have me championing the record but the fact is that everything I look at – beats, rhymes, content, guests etc – is all of such a high quality. It’s the album’s positivity that binds its essentials into a super-cohesive body of work.Pat D’s ear for an accessible Ja
