Somewhat unsurprisingly another week has passed. In that week things have occurred. In the grand scheme of every large and small event, in the cosmic game of cause and effect where infinite ping pong balls ricochet chaotically across the table of space time in a complex dance of action vs reaction so intricate that all meaning is lost… An almost infinitesimally small amount of the stuff that has happened this week has been remotely related to hip hop from the UK… But we are not called universe-everything.com. And therefore, must reluctantly ensure that the following enthusiastic rant on things ..read more

New visual we just dropped on the channel from Catsmoke for track ‘Broken Boots’ lifted from his 2020 LP ‘Raw Rap Material’ released under the Alias of Astro Blacksmith. Production and video by Koncise. The full album is ill so give it a check. ‘Broken Boots’ keeps things short and sweet with smooth bars and a warm, old school instrumental. We dig the subtle flip of Seal’s ‘Crazy’ they’ve chucked in there as well ..read more

Welcome back hoppers of hip. Returning yet again from the murky mists of the UK scene triumphantly clutching a handful of essential rap appetisers and honestly with a disproportionately inflated sense of achievement that we’ve kept this regular 6 weeks in a row so far… Its another one of these Round Up thingamajigs. During an arguably embarrassing moment in the upper echelons of the US scene, with J Cole coming out sort-of-kind-of swinging at Kendrick for all of two days and then issuing a public whoops/sorry… Pleased to say its been a good week in our little scene on the other side of the po ..read more

Pristine white and with eye and mouth holes cut wide, the mask appears almost frozen in a permanent state of shock. His eyes pierce from beneath, heavy and unflinching, betraying the harsh reality behind his lyrics. “This project is the inside of my ..read more
