An unlikely Twitter connection was the catalyst for “What I Know”, a collaboration between L.A. emcee Malkovich and producer BecomingPhill, several thousand miles away in the southern African country of Namibia. The music video was shot in the Nevada desert near Las Vegas by director/rapper Ivan Ives, the talent behind recent videos featuring the likes of RJD2 and more. The song also features Sum, the emcee behind The Lil Folk and Lone Wolf albums as well as the hip-hop opera The Nobody Hole. Malkovich dropped the Ayatollah Presley mixtape earlier this year, hosted by House Shoes and featuring Prince Po of Organized Konfusion, Dibia$e, Killer Reese of King Fantastic, P.U.D.G.E., Sum, IamOmni and many more.

The Doctor’s Orders in association with Big Chill House and Dephect present
The Doctor’s Orders, The Big Chill House and Dephect are over the moon to announce the very first New Year’s Eve party in London by “the kings of the capital’s Hip-Hop scene” (Time Out).
As you would expect from any party The Doctor’s Orders put on Spin Doctor has hand picked a phenomenal line up of DJs to join him across both floors of this incredible venue to see you shaking that ass all the way through into 2012.
Ask any Hip-Hop head in the country, and plenty more abroad, who their favourite homegrown DJ is you will be met with one answer, Mr Thing. As one of The Doctor’s Orders residents at our monthly On The Real he tears up the dance-floor every time. With an impeccable history of DJ battles, production and compilations for BBE there is little wonder he is the name on everyone’s lips.
Tonight he goes head to head in a 4 deck show down with the one of the few men to match his talents, one of his best mates and good friend of The Doctor’s Orders the incomparable Harry Love. Ever since seeing a pre-teen DJ, then called Harry-O, standing on a crate to reach the decks and rock a West London house party many moons ago Spin Doctor has been a huge fan of the man now known as Harry Love. With incredible production skills and an ability to move a crowd these huge talents will not want to be outshone. You are certainly in for a night to remember!
Making sure that things are warmed up to boiling point in the main room are another On The Real resident Chris P Cuts and fan’s favourite Kidkanevil. Both are well versed in the traditions and skills of Hip-Hop but are never scared to push the envelope so you can be guaranteed a good measure of unexpected pleasures from Soul to Grime alongside your prescribed dose of Hip-Hop bangers.
On mic duties making sure you do not miss the big count down is our host and one of the friendliest faces in London Hip-Hop Iron Braydz while keeping the winter chills away with a soundtrack of Reggae and Dancehall all night in Room 2’s are Suspect Packages’ own Disorda & Serocee.
Get ready for a real Hip-Hop party and toast your good health as you see in 2012 with The Doctor’s Orders.

We recently got contacted by the dudes from Music Hiccup; a grassroots blog interested in giving smaller artists a platform to perform and be heard by a wider audience (sounds familiar). Well we at HHLAT can only support people like that, but if you need a little more proof here’s their tagline:
“Founded in July 2011, Music Hiccup begun as a small blog solely featuring up and coming artists. Constantly growing and developing, Music Hiccup is now not only a platform for up and coming artists but also an excellent place to read about the freshest music related content out there. Wether it be a new single from Lily Allen or Jay-Z’s new kicks, Music Hiccup will bring a new angle and commentary to the table.
Music Hiccup is rapidly growing and ready to become one of the worlds greatest hotspots for music. Wether your looking to learn and network with new artists trying to make their mark, looking to find talent, or just looking to keep updated with the scene, MusicHiccup can bring you all.”
Take a look at a behind the scenes video they recently did for the Soundcheck Festival in Birmingham.
Now I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, sometimes it’s nice to have a little platform to get some awesomeness to the world.
Underwraps is a hip-hop band from Bristol; MC, DJ/Producer, drummer and bassist. I’ll do the ‘recommended if you like’ beforehand so you know have some idea of what to expect. Akala, early Bashy, Immortal Technique, Beastie Boys, BLESTeNATION, Atmosphere, Foreign Beggars, Black The Ripper, and a very big healthy dose of old skool hip-hop too many to name but you get the idea.
They’re also fronted and dj’d (is that a real word?) by my (Aimee) best friends so yes it may seem like I’m biased, BUT if they were garbage do you really think I’d post a video of them up? Think about it. If you thought your best friend made awful music would you want them to be publicly humiliated on the internet? Well maybe you would but I’m a nice person so I wouldn’t.
This is as underground and grass roots as it gets. They’re currently recording an album. Expect an interview with my boys very soon.
This is taken from my university’s end of year show where I studied music with the DJ ‘Giant Uncle Matt’ and introduced the Karl (the MC) to him so I’d like to take full credit for any success they get from here on out. It’s their first ever live show but you’ve gotta appreciate the rawness and energy. Pure talent and passion can’t be faked though.
Stay blessed kids.
