The latest release from long serving veteran, and Nottingham legend Cappo comes in the form of ‘Unicron’, a joint EP with producer, and De Facto Entertainment CEO Stealf.
Those familiar with Cappo’s brand of intricate lyricism will know what to expect… Intricate, simile heavy wordplay, effortless delivery and just the right amount of clever bragging.
Lyrically this EP will not disappoint, and combined with Stealf’s atmospheric, headnodding production makes for a hypnotic late night meditator.
Cappo is a true original in the scene, and seems to effortlessly deliver complex lyrics and obscure metaphors all while keeping the attention of the listener by referencing every day scenario’s. This creates a place for the listener where the everyday is transformed in to the slightly surreal, sometimes with an almost cinematic effect.
It is very apparent on this EP that the songs have been carefully constructed, with every beat perfectly matching the pace and flow of the lyrics, so much so that you do not at first understand the craftmanship that has gone in to the project, such is its seamlessness.
This is not music to party to, nor is it intended to be, but is more a study in complex lyricism, effortless flows and hypnotic beats.
One that the headnodders and Cappo fans will no doubt enjoy immensely.
Words; Chris

“Opportunity Knocks” as Harn SOLO is back with brand new music from his upcoming mixtape, “Traveling Man”. The artist draws inspiration with a recent move from New Orleans out west to Denver, and delivers a story of resilience, as he continues to evolve on his musical journey.
Traveling is no new theme for Harn SOLO who has hit the road over the years to perform in London, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta and Houston. He even recorded his debut album “Solo 101” in Vancouver, Canada.
About the upcoming mixtape Harn SOLO says, “I’m excited to give my fans new music with a different style and approach. I’ve been gravitating to a more progressive and electronic sound, and I think my audience will enjoy the latest artistic transformation.”

KING SEVIN featuring TROY AVE “FUCK YOU, PAY ME” produced by ILLATRACKS off the upcoming BSB. VOL. SEVIN PROJECT.
Following the critically acclaimed Pillars EP with MindsOne, Kev Brown teams up again with Ill Adrenaline Records, this time collaborating with fellow Low Budget Crew member Hassaan Mackey to bless listeners with That Grit.
Both the Landover, MD based producer-on-the-mic and the Rochester, NY emcee are longtime members of the prolific artist collective and have previously worked together various times, but this mini-album marks the first time the two embark on a full project. Most boom-bap enthusiasts should already be well acquainted with both Kev Brown and Hassaan Mackey: double threat Kev Brown already showcased his skills on microphones as well as production boards on countless releases and has been dubbed “king of basslines” by fans worldwide. In addition to his solo recordings Kev’s credits include beats for heavyweights like Busta Rhymes, Biz Markie, De La Soul, Jazzy Jeff, and Marley Marl just to name a few, as well as handling entire album production for LMNO, Kaimbr, and Raw Poetic. Hassaan Mackey released a string of albums, including a full-length LP with Apollo Brown, and appearances on releases by Oddissee, Kaimbr, The Left and L’Orange.
Recorded during a series of impromptu bus and train trips Hassaan took from Rochester to visit Kev in Washington, That Grit was created with a spontaneous approach, reflecting both Mackey’s freestyle background and Brown’s proven “random joints” formula. Entirely produced by Kev Brown and featuring his signature bassline-driven and raw but soulful sound, That Grit consists of an intro, eight full-length tracks and six instrumentals. Hassaan and Kev share mic duties on most of the songs, inviting close friends/frequent collaborators Kaimbr, Toine, yU, Kenn Starr, Eye-Q, Asheru (of Unspoken Heard) as well as the Younger Soul Brother Grap Luva along as feature guests, turning the record into a true family affair.
That Grit is now available for purchase (CD/LP/cassette/digital) via Ill Adrenaline/Low Budget Records and to celebrate, we get a ‘Low Budget’ posse cut, “Git Em,” by underground icons Kev Brown & Hassaan Mackey featuring yU (of Diamond District), Toine (of DTMD), Kaimbr and Eye-Q.
