Rane presents: DJ Yuto (Japan) – DMC World DJ Championships 2016, Winning performance filmed live at the o2 Forum Kentish Town, Saturday 24th September .
September 2016 marked the 30 year anniversary of people painting graffiti art at West London’s most loved hall of fame, Trellick Towers. Chrome & Black thought it was only right to hold a paint jam in celebration of this!
After debuting at #1 on the iTunes Rap Chart (a position he held for over a week) and simultaneously debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Rap/Hip-Hop & Independent charts, Joe Budden is back with a new visual, “I Wanna Know,” from his ‘Rage & The Machine’ album. ‘Rage & The Machine’ is entirely produced by araabMUZIK and features appearances Fabolous, Torey Lanez, Joell Ortiz & Stacey Barthe and is now available via Mood Muzik/Empire Records.
Talking to the sample, Joe does what he does best on “I Wanna Know” which features Stacy Barthe; detailing failed relationships, the perspective getting older gives you and most importantly the joys of fatherhood (Joe’s son Trey also makes an appearance in the video).
For our readers in the States Joe Budden is currently raging his way thru a 20-city trek for his The Rage Tour and will be adding more dates throughout the winter and expect the sequel for Rage & The Machine to impact in 2017.
Long before he was on our TV screens pursing a successful career in Comedy and performing alongside the likes of Ricky Gervais, the multi talented Ben ‘Doc Brown’ Smith was a well respected lyricist and a member of the dope UK crew Poisonous Poets alongside heavyweight UK names such as Lowkey, Tony D, Reveal and DJ Snips.
For those that have wondered if he will make a return to his musical roots, the wait is over! As you can see from the above video Doc has a brand new album called “Stemma” dropping early 2017 accompanied by a UK Tour, a decade after leaving the music business behind.
Early booking for the tour is advised, this is going to be something special!

DJ Jeppa travelled up to support the IDA UK AND IRELAND movement and 2016 Finals, held in Bristol on October 2nd.
Once they had him in the place they could not allow the opportunity to pass for this Multiple National Turnatablist Champion to leave without burning up the tables and that’s EXACTLY what he did in this showcase.

We original shared this video to our FB and Twitter page when this powerful song ‘Ahmed’ from Lowkey featuring Mai Khalil and produced by Agent of Change was released at the end of July, but its only right we rep it on the site too!
Lowkey’s music and social commentary has been missed, however with this new music and visual from GlobalFaction here is his first release in a few years and it’s as thought provoking as ever.
