Taken from Dj Low Cut’s “France’s Finest NY Minute Remix” droping march 26th, also featuring remix tracks of Dj Low Cut’s “NY Minute” album by Al’Tarba, Dj Brans, Astronaute, Flev, I.N.C.H., Grim Reaperz, Ugly Tony, Mistamaff, Crown & Ghetto Blaster. Cuts by Dj Nix’On, Dj Djaz, Chinch33, Dj Proteck, Dj Family Tiz. + exclusive bonus tracks featuring Dirt Platoon, Lord Lhus, Raf Almighty and B.A.M. & M-Dot.
Futuristic does not disappoint in this highly energetic and entertaining release. With the help of Kyle and SK4MC, it appears that not only fast delivery, comic punch lines, and wild antics can create a situation where one could say “I’m A Problem”.
Legendary Wu-Tang rapper Raekwon opened up about ODB’s death, revealing that he saw Dirty’s body when he died, and said he had a face of bravery. Raekwon also opened up about ODB’s drug use and how it affected the crew.
Spekulativ Fiktion is a Cork (Eire) based rapper and beatmaker, working in the doomy (and at times experimental) side of hip hop. His material has been described as ‘articulate, compassionate, anarchic… and all very relevant.’ His live shows are well-defined by their inclusion of untraditional instrumentation and live jams, intertwined with gritty samples and storytelling. Last year he shared the stage with the likes of Shabazz Palaces (Sub Pop) and Ganjasufi (Warp).
‘Deathly Words’ is the first ep of two to be released in 2013 (Spek’s full length debut will follow). The release also features Deviant & Naive Ted and Mikey Fingers (Community Skratch), both of turntable group Vince Mack Mahon, as well as DJ Jus Me, the man behind the Hobo Convention.
2013 is officially starting off with a bang for AZ, as the Grammy-Nominated Recording Artist, makes his return to the Hip-Hop scene with the release of his highly-anticipated new LP Doe Or Die II, which will be released later this year. AZ wet the appetites of fans for Doe Or Die II in early January with his “Genesis” freestyle.
Since the release of the Doe or Die anniversary album in 2011, AZ has been working to perfect each song for the new album; and fans will definitely be pleased with the follow up.
AZ first became known by appearing on Nas’ landmark 1994 album, Illmatic, as his hook on “Life’s A Bitch” still resounds today and he was also featured on Illmatic’s opening opus “The Genesis”. AZ was the only guest feature on Illmatic and soon thereafter he signed with EMI and released his own debut LP Doe Or Die in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. The album’s lead single, “Sugar Hill”, became one of AZ’s major commercially successful records as a solo artist, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. In 2002, he released Aziatic from which his single “The Essence“ f/ Nas was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. AZ has since released four solo-LP’s (his solo release Undeniable also made a high debut on the Billboard charts) and worked with artists such as Nas, RZA, DJ Premier, Ghostface, Raekwon, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Trackmasters, Emile, Lil Fame, Phonte, Sheek Louch, Styles P, Foxy Brown, Beanie Sigel, Nottz, Large Professor, Bink, MoSS, & Statik Selektah and remained a constant staple with fans and critics alike.
Today, AZ is back and better than ever and is readying his forthcoming Doe Or Die II release.
On the “Thank You” (Freestyle), AZ goes in on a medley of beats provided by DJ Doo Wop. Look out for the video for “Thank You” & Doe or Die II LP coming soon.
The second in the series of Legendary emcees on beats by Marco Polo with samples that were impossible to clear… we present “Nite & Day” f/ Big Daddy Kane (Scratches by Shylow).
Taken from Marco Polo’s forthcoming free-LP “Newport Authority 2” as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn’t all possibly fit on “Port Authority 2”; hence “Newport Authority 2” came to be.”
“Newport Authority 2” will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco’s production.
Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s “Port Authority 2” LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records. “Port Authority 2” features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Organized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.

Here we have for you the long awaited album from London emcee Ramson Badbonez and Bristols Twizzy. I was hoping to have a review for this written by now, however it’s just been me, Myself and I here at HHL&T this week and when the inbox never seems to go below 300 upopened emails I just haven’t had the time. However if you are familiar with Ransom Badbonez or Twizzy you know its gonna be dope Hip Hop, and for those who are new to them this is defenitley worth copping.
The album has features from M.A.B, Jinxsta JX, Jman, features cuts from Charlie Mac and Beats produced by Hutch. The album is available to download digitally for just £4 or physical copies are available for just a fiver! Don’t sleep on this one
