Task Force hit us up with another exclusive in the run up to the long awaited MFTC5. ‘Teacher Teacher’ has the McBane Brothers flexing lyrical skill and dexterity over a bouncy Farma beat. This track will not appear on MFTC5 but is available as an exclusive download here: http://taskforce.bandcamp.com/track/teacher-teacher
Got ourselves a nice little treat from Vinyl Vybz and DJ Hash. A healthy mix of soul and hip-hop, all in one delicious album. The lyrical flows and musical arrangements are done really well, and I was pretty impressed from my initial liste-I think you will be too, but just in case my word isn’t good enough here’s a little intro by the artist themselves to get you interested.
“Volume 1 of my Ladies 1st edition was dedicated to female MC’s. Volume II featured a majority of Hip Hop music from female MC’s and ended with Soul music from female artists. Volume 3 featured Soul music only. For this show I wanted to come full circle, back to where I started. Volume IV features Hip Hop only from female artists that’s guaranteed DOPE.
I also would like to mention that this show represents a very special milestone for me. This is my 100th Vinyl Vybz with DJ HasH show! Thank you for motivating and supporting me throughout the years. I wouldn’t have made it this far without your love and support. I’m truly blessed!”
‘Introducing an Introduction’ was produced by North East UK rapper Jister and was also written, recorded and mixed by Jister. The video was directed, shot and edited by Nicholas Fagbo, get at him on Twitter for affordable, professional videos: @odubzstahh
‘Lean With It’ is the 1st video from the upcoming “Die For A Deal” Mixtape by Livin Proof. Shot and Edited by G of Ride Or Die TV, this video displays the rawness of the this brooklyn emcee. The Mixtape is set to drop November 20, 2012 and features the previously released FREE download ‘CUT THE CHECK’ single (below) produced by V.Notes for Fantom Of The Beat.
British hip hop stalwarts and long-time friends Dr Syntax and Tom Caruana have teamed up to bring you a concept album based around dialogue snippets from the work of legendary TV and film director Edgar Wright (of Sean Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and Spaced fame).
After years of well-received releases, tours and collaborations (including songs with Rizzle Kicks and Foreign Beggars), the newly-formed duo made the album after Wright himself got in touch with Caruana and gave him carte blanche to sample his work. The result is 14 tracks of quirky, funk-fuelled dopeness, featuring dazzling cameos from Leaf Dog (Four Owls/High Focus), Rebecca Stephens (formerly of The Pipettes), Don’t Flop! rap battle legend Enlish and newcomer Clev Cleverley. All that, plus the Cornetto from the shop. How’s that for a slice of fried gold?
Task Force return from a lengthy hiatus, which sees Farma creating a uniquely dark and original soundscape as a backdrop to Chester P’s final psychedelic baptism.
‘My Last Trip’ is a prelude to the much anticipated MFTC5. Farma grabs his camera and follows Chester as he embarks on his ‘last trip’ through an animated and sometimes fantastical voyage that only Chester P could take you on.
