Big Ribzy is back with a new single and video in “No Games”. This is the 2nd single off of his Platformz Records debut of the same name.
With visuals from Snakeyez TV Ribzy shows us that life in Wolverhampton can be just as dangerous as any other place where life is scattered with bad influences and tough choices. Letting off his bars over the aggressive banger from Rediculus, Ribzy tells you with no uncertainty “Know who you’re fucking with, check the CV”.
With appearances from label mates Trademark Blud and Tricksta, Ribzy is playing No Games as he moves through the underground on his way to breaking through.
Big Ribzy has recently been playing live up and down the UK sharing stages with the likes of Skinnyman, Wordsmiff, Phili N Dotz, Genesis Elijah, Malik MD7 and many more, as well as playing at this year’s Boom Bap Festival, where Your Old Droog, Earl Sweatshirt & Jeru The Damaja headlined. With a string of solid releases such as his UK Runnings mixtape ‘King Size Blues’ hosted by Tricksta and an underground album ‘Blunts & Insecurities’ produced by Lost Alliance under his belt these releases have solidified Big Ribzy in the UK. Now with this brand new EP already getting support from tastemakers & DJ’s, the future looks bright for this Wolverhampton talent.
Novar FLIP, the artist formerly known as Supar Novar, delivers his second release under his new alias. ‘The Last Man Standing’ is an underground mixtape release on Flip Life Records and follows up his recent well received EP ‘The Hooligan’s Back’. This collection on nineteen tracks features some killer solo tracks as well as features from Flip Life Records label mates Big Ben, Ragz Sweet Jones, Danny Bones, as well as UK legends such as Logic from People’s Army, Big Frizzle, English Frank, Kingpin – formerly of Caxton Press, USG’s Exo & Squingy, Nate and many others. This great collection of UK bangers is something fans of quality music will enjoy and adore! Don’t sleep on the last man standing… Novar FLIP.
Kicking off with a track called ‘The Evening News’ this sixteen tracker hits hard from the start and really impresses. Ricky Lix on mic duties and Meezy on the boards, this is a meeting of two minds that has really paid off. Lix sounds gritty on some tracks and smooth on others, using full advantage of his distinctive voice and flow. Meezy beats remind me of early Jehst and Jazz T production, Evil Ed and Chemo, but his style is really unique with some great ideas. On tracks like ‘The Wrong Path’ you see depth and cuts like ‘Fresh As A Mofo’ introduces Streakz & LB from Music Lessons, a crew both Ricky Lix & Meezy are from. The album continues to explore into the mind of Ricky Lix who was serving ’28 Days’ while writing this project. For an idea of where he was at check out ‘What The Fuck Am I Gonna Do’ and you will know what it is. Great album, a great energy and something we will play on the regular. Quality UK Hip-Hop that should be in your collection.
