A night of thorough bred UK hip hop is in store as Genesis makes the first appearance in London for his ‘This isMy Hustle’ UK tour.
Playing alongside Genesis are his clique AC, Terra Slim, Ruthless and Terry Hooligan as well as a LIVE PA from Melanin 9 (Triple Darkness).
DJ duties on the night from DJ Lu’e-B from Audio Hooligans – It’s bound to be an unmissable one! Based just 2 tube stops from King’s Cross it’s an easy journey and low cost – high value night!!
Best of all it won’t cost a penny to see the show, with a live art installation from ‘Jam Free‘.
Times: 10pm – 2am // **Main act on before last train departs Finsbury Park!**
The “Papi Wardrobe Kings” renaissance continues as he commingled with his Wu-Tang comrades on RZA’s “The Man With The Iron Fists” OST on the Wu-Tang Clan reunion track “Six Directions Of Boxing” and with his appearance on the Wu-Tang Clan & D-Block project “Wu-Block,” Wu-Tang Clan’s tenth official member, Cappadonna, returns with his double-CD, ‘Eyrth, Wynd & Fyre,’ which is now available on RBC Records.

On the heels of the release of his most recent solo effort, Eryth, Wynd & Fyre, Cappa leaks the new single from The Pillage 2. The upcoming follow up to his 1998 debut LP, which just recently celebrated its 15th anniversary, is due out in September.
Here is the third in the series of Legendary Emcees on beats by Marco Polo with samples that were impossible to clear… we present “Back To Work” f/ Artifacts (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.
Our man Just P released the video (shot by Ruthless) from his recently dropped record, ‘My Bars on His Beats Volume 1’ which features full production from Aleksander Koziel. You can read our review of the EP over heeeeerrerere.

After releasing classic albums by Rashad & Confidence, Beneficence and Purpose & Confidence during the last couple years, Ill Adrenaline Records strikes again with another powerful and mind blowing full length. Hailing from Lynn, Massachusetts, the Tragic Allies trio Purpose, Estee Nack and Code Nine team up with Queensbridge veteran Tragedy Khadafi aka Intelligent Hoodlum to form the group “7 G.E.M.S.”.
“Without You” is the first single taken off the album entitled “Golden Era Music Sciences” (dropping 07/05/13), delivering that raw, sinister, dusty and mellow-dramatic 90’s boom-bap retro style sound, laying the perfect platform for the message of enlightenment, elevation and expression the group offers its listeners on this 16-track heater.
While super-producer Confidence handled all the production on the critically acclaimed underground classic “The Purpose of Confidence” (Ill Adrenaline Records, 2012), Purpose just concentrated on showcasing his excellent and sharp lyrical rhyme skills. But this time the Tragic Allies frontman (who already worked with Killah Priest, Big Shug, Bronze Nazareth, Epidemic, etc.) is not only able to shine on the mic, he also takes charge of stellar beats for the entire album.
Featuring underground icons Roc Marciano, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Killah Priest along with up-and-coming lyricist Relentless and top-notch beatboxer Choppa, “Golden Era Music Sciences” stands for its 100% trademark Tragic Allies sound, that, infused with the mind and vibe of pioneer and Queensbridge legend Tragedy Khadafi, makes this album look like a sure bet for one of 2013’s hottest rap underground albums.
