9th Wonder & Buckshot are out with a surreal new video for “Crazy,” a track on their new album ‘The Solution’ (Jamla/Duck Down Music), which is available now at major outlets. The video features four versions of Buckshot, a creepy rabbit and a masked man. You figure it out.
Taken from the new album “Magna Carta” which releases internationally on 3rd December 2012, this is the official video for the single “White Russian” by London’s Melanin 9 which also features Roc Marciano, produced by Anatomy
“Magna Carta” is Melanin 9’s debut album following renowned mixtapes High Fidelity and 144,000, and has received an exceptional media response, including magazines such as Clash, MOJO, Q Magazine, The Guestlist Network’s “Album of the Month” and many more from both sides of the Atlantic.

Dope UK producer Pro P and Newcastle emcee Suus have just released their new 13 track collaborative album called ‘The Breakfast LP’ and is available to stream or download for FREE below……
Here’s a promo video from our homie Stakka Lyrics for his upcoming EP with producer Remulak called ‘The Remarkable EP’. The EP drops on December 1st and also features talented emcee Xidus Pain. I’ve alredy got a copy of the EP sitting in the HHL&T inbox so expect a further posting and review when the EP drops next week.
The self confessed vinyl junky returns with the full length EP that his 2011 “King of The Beat” 7 inch was lifted from. This EP is already receiving major support from some of the leading tastemakers in the Hip-Hop world including support from the legendary DJ Premier on his radio show.
Aside from the fancy hardware kit the main emphasis behind the project is on records. A dedication to his two favourite stores (as pictured on the sleeve) and the twenty+ years he has been lurking around the racks in them. Whether it was spending all his school dinner money in the bargain bucket as a child, pointlessly browsing as a broke teenager or sending his ten year old daughter into a state of boredom in more recent times from the hours spent trawling through crates of audio crack. If you ever need to find him, you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be long before he surfaces in the record shop.
This contained project is by no means a solo effort though, more a meeting of the minds who all equally romanticise all things past, set over Danny’s collage of sound. From Queens legend Craig G to Kool Sphere of Verbal Threat’s classic block party style hooks, Oxygen’s thought provoking poems and Germanys Simple One laying down his trade mark warm monotone flows. This record is without a shadow of a doubt paying homage to the sound of New York. Add a little former Scratch Pervert DJ Mr Thing to the mix every angle is covered.
On November 20th, Wu-Tang Clan affiliate/Guinness World Record Freestylist M-Eighty will release “Home Grown Internationally Known”. The LP pays tribute to the rappers hometown of Toledo, OH by featuring all Toledo-based Emcees and Producers alongside the pairing of M-Eighty & newcomer and fellow Toledo native Nino Graye. The duo known as “GlassCity”, will be embarking on a 15-date Midwest tour in November alongside the likes of Kid Ink, Cappadonna, & Bronze Nazareth in support of their debut. Fans can expect several videos spawning from the LP’s release including featured tracks “Hip-Hop Glory”, “911”, “Burn it Up”, “Lose My Sheeeit!” & the collegiate-anthem “FAH-Q”.
When asked how the duo came up with the name for their group and the title for their debut, M-Eighty remarked by stating, “I am a home grown product of Toledo, OH who never stopped loving my roots and 30-years later I am that internationally recognized Artist/A&R/Executive that people notice and I still keep it 1000% with my peers. “Glass City” is a nickname for Toledo, OH aka The Renaissance City and though the group is just Nino and I, we definitely showed a lot of love to the artists grinding in Toledo and gave the community a sense of hope that big things can happen if we all learn to motivate and persevere together.” Glass City “Home Grown Internationally Known” drops 11-20-12 on Holy Toledo Productions/Flow-4-Ever Entertainment.
