It seems the UK Hip Hop scene on mass have decided to bombard us lucky fans with a selection of heavyweight releases, all in the space of a week or so! Task Force have released the much anticipated MFTC5, Baron Samedi blessed us with a free download ‘The Sewermouth Sessions’, and now Peoples Army general Logic once again teams up with producer Last Resort to bring us ‘More True Talk’, the follow up to 2011’s ‘True Talk’.
Again entirely produced by Last Resort, ‘More True Talk’ carries on where ‘True Talk’ left off, giving the listener another solid collection of soulful yet varied production, conscious and thought provoking lyrics, and some superb guest appearances. Throughout the project Logic delivers revolutionary and conscious bars, urging the listener to challenge the norm, and to stand up and fight against the corrupt and powerful.
Added to this are witty social commentary (as seen on the Big Cakes and Elz Boogie featured ‘I could Never’) light hearted but still serious ideas about a better society, on ‘Krispy Kreme’, which features Sway, Durrty Goodz, Big Frizzle and a surprising song-stealing verse from ex Heartless Crew member Mighty Moe, and reflections on society as a whole (the closing track ‘World On My Shoulders’).
Although this album features a fair few guests, it is Logic that consistently shines on every song, always finding new ways to word his message over varied productions that keep the listener attentive.
Personal favourites for me include ‘My Words’ featuring excellent guest verses from both L Jinny and Drum and Bass favourite Harry Shotta, as well as Logic himself. The afore mentioned ‘Krispy Kreme’ is also a favourite, with light hearted verses that carry a serious message, and a hook i was singing along to by the end of the song!
However, the highlight of the album is when Logic is joined by Black The Ripper and Genesis Elijah for the mosh pit starting ‘Never That Remix’ where all 3 destroy a rowdy banger of a beat.
Never veering much from the revolutionary theme, this release may not be for fans of the more ‘Road Rap’ side of things, but those who are looking for a positive message, as well as some good wordplay, varied and quality production, and some killer guest verses, look no further than ‘More True Talk’.
Words; Chris

They are also starting the first of many Ultimate Cyphers, a mashup of classic beats and original tracks with a hand picked selection of their favourite artists jumping on for an impromptu freestyle session. Imagine a jungle set, but with classic hip hop beats, and heavyweight hip hop artists as the MCs – rewinds, fighting over the mic when classics drop… should be fire! Full line up TBC!

Soundcrash Presents :
THE MOUSE OUTFIT (LIVE)
FT. DR SYNTAX + SPARKZ
THE LAST SKEPTIK (LIVE)
MR THING
Saturday 15 March 2014 at Village Underground
Soundcrash presents THE MOUSE OUTFIT, one of the finest freshest hip hop bands in the UK, hailing in from Manchester. Currently recording and performing with DR SYNTAX, SPARKZ, Dubbul O and numerous other artists.
On Saturday 15 March 2014 Soundcrash bring the crew to the Shoreditch hotspot, Village Underground for a night of live instrumental hip hop with support from The Last Skeptik + DJ sets from Mr Thing!
THE MOUSE OUTFIT are an 9 piece hip hop band, whose high energy live shows have led them to perform twice at the BBC’s Maida Vale studios including Mark Lamarrs show Gods Jukebox. They have also shared stages with the likes of The Cinematic Orchestra, Chali 2na, Souls of Mischief, The Sugarhill Gang, The Youngblood Brass Band, Youngsta, Souls of Mischief, Speech Debelle, The Herbaliser, Craig Charles.
This year has seen the release of the band’s debut album. Self-deprecating humour, social commentary and on point rap skills are the order of the day from Dr Syntax. Famed in his own right as a solo artist as well as a peripheral member of the mighty Foreign Beggars, he is a seasoned live performer and festival veteran , Syntax has rocked pretty much every hip hop night worth its salt in the UK during the past decade.
Its all about longevity in this game. From releasing his debut single featuring Sway, The Last Skeptik has been steadily gaining fans with his production prowess. Fast forward to 2013 and The Last Skeptik followed up his critically acclaimed ‘How Not To Make A Living’ album with rapper Rewd Adams, with his fantastically diverse, cinematic solo debut entitled ‘Thanks For Trying’ released on BBE Records. From 2007’s ‘Broken Window’ collaborative album with rapper Verb T to 2010s genre-flouting ‘Same Day Different Sh*t’, a compilation of commissioned remixes of major label artists, Skeptik has been busy writing, remixing and producing for a bevy of artists such as Gorillaz, Dream Mcclean and Marina and The Diamonds.
Former Scratch Perverts member and DMC Scratch Champion MR THING will also be doing his er, thing on the night, playing all your favourite hip hop, old school beats and breaks: the flavour of choice from the prolific London DJ… THING ‘s world class reputation sees him touring and performing with the likes of legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, Marley Marl, Beastie Boys, DJ Premier + Slum Village. You know he’ll smash it.
