Afrika Bambaataa recently chopped it up with VladTV and discussed violence in Rap and how it has gotten progressively worse over the years. “People think you must attack each other to be in Hip-Hop,” he states in this exclusive interview.
The former Black Spades gang member (who was known to be the one who could bring both peace and war) feels that the industry is directed by “mind control,” and that there’s no balance in today’s music. In this interview Afrika calls out the program directors who only play negative music and people who still use the n-word in casual conversation. “I’m not crazy about it,” says Bambaataa. “Too many people die for that word.”
Afrika Bambaataa also had this to say about people who put up video footage of violence on social media: “That’s not keeping it real, that’s being crazy as hell.” Bambaataa feels that in the end, it will be the next generation who will suffer the consequences of our actions. “You’re not caring about the young ones who see this that might copy and follow in those footsteps.”
See what else Bambaataa had to say about staged fame, the Black Spades and the beef between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj in this exclusive clip.

The latest single “Lust in Eden” off of Eff Yoo’s album Papa Dios.
The song finds Eff spitting Bible laced darts over a hypnotic beat laced by Narco and Spit Gemz. Carmen Indhira blesses the track with a great spoken word piece and hook and Spit Gemz closes it out with his usual sharp bars and punches.
This is the 2nd single off of the album with visuals for ‘The First Power’ dropping a few weeks ago.

Platformz Music continues to push and release quality independent Hip-Hop music and is proud to unleash the first of their UK signings Big Ribzy. The Midland’s based rapper has been making waves out on the UK playing live up and down the country sharing stages with well known artists such as Phili N Dotz, Genesis Elijah, Malik MD7 and many more, as well as playing at this year’s Boom Bap Festival, the UK’s only 100% Hip-Hop festival where Your Old Droog, Earl Sweatshirt & Jeru The Damaja headline. With the release of his mixtape ‘King Size Blues’ hosted by Tricksta from UK Runnings he made noise on the underground, which was followed an underground album ‘Blunts & Insecurities’ produced by fellow Midlands based artists Lost Alliance. These releases have solidified Big Ribzy in the UK scene with a string of superb reviews from leading blogs & e-zines, as well as support from tastemakers & DJ’s.
Big Ribzy now unleashes ‘Capetown’, his debut single for Chicago based Platformz Records, which is produced by Rediculus, a well known name on the underground circuit who has worked with the likes of Shabaam Sahdeeq, Ruste Juxx, Chubb Rock, Brownbag Allstars, Sadat X and more, as well as being an artist in his own right. The single is a taste of what’s to come from the forthcoming EP ‘No Games’, which is produced entirely by Rediculus and features a collection of nine solo songs from Big Ribzy. With videos and more singles to drop before the release, this EP is destined to make noise on both sides of the pond. This is authentic Hip-Hop, lyrics, wordplay, metaphors and beats that slap you with that Boom Bap flavour. Welcome to the sound of Big Ribzy… something original and something that deserves your attention.

They prefer to remain unknown to the public.
For every 10K plays they receive, they will release a new track.
Here’s a snippet of their latest sound this version is unmixed, as they really liked the rawness of the sound as the melodic chorus fills in the spacious but heavy composition.
