Just in case you thought all we were going to post today was mostly UK heads, how about a bit of Belgium hip-hop?

A cheeky live video from Just P, rapping over an impromptu beat courtesy of a random guitarist and drummer he linked up with in Hyde Park.
Another song from Remus to prove that when the mixtape is released May 1st, it will blow all your little minds.
Just in case, you thought we were only going to post videos all day (hey, if that’s what’s in the inbox, that’s what’s going on the site), how about a short by sweet beat tape from East Coast producer, Backspacez?
It’s a quick offering, with relatively short tracks, and only clocking in at 6 songs deep, but hey the trick’s to always keep you wanting more right? So I guess Backspacez has achieved that quite nicely. Like Adam previously said in his review of https://hiphoplifeandtimes.com/2013/04/12/cyrus-malachi-black-athena-out-april-20th-album-review-pre-order-cyrusmalachi-firstsonrecords-ruairihartigan/, boom bap is a term that’s been thrown around way too much, so with that in mind I’m going back to an even more used term, backpackers. Original or what? In my mind though, that’s what this beat tape is; and when listening to it all I can think about is skating around New York, with a backpack, and giant headphones covering half of my head. It’s got a healthy mix of slow, and more energetic tracks to keep you interested, and even though Backspacez has said this is more a B-Side release, it still stands alone in its own right as a solid release. Yes, I would like some boom bap for breakfast please.
Vicious rapper! I’m sorry to admit that I haven’t really given Terrorsum much of a listen before, but fuck this is too good. Don’t sleep on this dude, come jump on the bandwagon before it leaves town.
This’ll be the last release under the name Terrorsum, as he’ll now he going by his birth name, Christian King. Kid has lines for daaaaaays; a truly relentless rapper in every sense of the word. I loved the Ms Dynamite shout-out too.
Free single download.
Too Many T’s have just dropped their new video for their track ‘1992’. For those not yet aware, it was also featured on our very own UK Runnings/HHLAT mixtape, which you can get your grubby paws on for free at our Bandcamp if you’re feeling fruity.

Watch The Ruby Kid take too many drugs, and try not to eat his face off. The video is released in conjunction with the recently dropped remix EP ‘Benny & The Crow’, produced by Tom O’Brien, and remixed/mastered by Dan Angell, Elai Immortal of H.L.I, Noah.Constrictor, and Diss1.
If you fancy reading about what we thought about Ruby Kid’s recent EP ‘Strange Lively & Commonplace’, which features the original ‘Benny & The Crow’, then why not have a goosey gander of our review by clicking this link.
Swift Kirabo putting Manchester firmly on the map. If you’re feeling Swift, then you can download his mixtape for free over on his Bandcamp page.
This track makes me want to do a little dance. Pure funk hip-hop! Nice Friday vibes in this.
