The Beatnuts are one of the most energetic Hip-Hop duos ever! Their distinctly Nu Yorican funk led, latin tinged sounds have seen every Hip-Hop party across the globe bumping to the sounds of bangers like “Watch Out Now’, ‘No Escapin This’, ‘Off The Books’ & ‘Se Acabo’ to name just a few. As part of the Native Tongues collective they have worked with everyone from Method Man & Common to The Stereo MC’s & Akon in a career that kicked off in 1993 and shows no sign of letting up!
Jeru The Damaja came to prominence as a member of the Gangstarr Foundation headed up by DJ Premier & the late great Guru. Since first appearing on wax on ‘I’m The Man’ on Gangstarr’s 1992 ‘Daily Operation’ album he went of to record a slew of DJ Premier produced classics including ‘Come Clean’, ‘Ya Playin Yaself’ & ‘Me or the Papes’. The ‘Origininal Dirty Rotten Scoundral’ lives up to the moniker on stage with one of the most entertaining live shows out there so be sure to be front and centre!

Nah let’s be honest though, if I entered this then I would probably make everyone else’s piece void, but for all your benefits I won’t.
Ignoring my raging ego, this seems like a really fantastic opportunity for anyone out there who thinks their grasp of language is on a superior level to others. Personally I love language, and the spoken and written word (then again., I suppose you kind of have to if you love rap. It is pretty wordy after all) so I’m super excited to see what talent comes out of the woodwork in this one. Have a peak at Blacksmith, who completely kills it.

‘The Secret Money Manual: Practical strategies for building and maintaining wealth for the Hip Hop generation’ is a milestone book that covers in simple and precise terms finance management to wealth acquisition, retention, investment and self sufficiency. With eferences from corporate entrepreneurs (Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Peter Jones ), historical world leaders (Sun Ssu-mo, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey) and Hip-Hop moguls (RZA, Russell Simmons, Damon Dash), this book is a unprecedented offering. A tangible resource to self improvement and community building cementing the fact that Hip-Hop can not only help teach the people, but build the world.
Author Cipher JEWELS is a founder of the important Birmingham Hip-Hop group Moorish Delta 7 who throughout the 90s and 00s gathered much acclaim being lauded by the likes of Guru from GangStarr to Tim Westwood alike.
This influential reach to hundreds and thousands of British youths, naturally evolved into active engagement culminating in the establishment of the Sankofa Centre in Birmingham: a multi-purpose hub with music studios, classrooms, workshop spaces and offices. Cipher’s work for several years has engineered social outreach programs, skill-building classes, and accredited qualifications for so many youths, for whom it would not be an exaggeration to say that these activities were life saving.
Cipher’s successful experiences in vast areas of life such as the music industry, the corporate world, private security and even food outlets give his writing an authoritative and wisdom-enriched accessibility. In recent times, work has focused from Sankofa for more outreach programs with youth, liaising international diplomats and USA anti-gang workers to multi-generational Black History events.

The 4our Pillars are the foundation of Hip Hop; each pillar represents one of the following: Aerosol Art, MC’s, DJ’s and last but by no means least, B-Boys.
Many people claim to be involved in Hip Hop but only seem to represent one or two of the 4our Pillars. Hip Hop culture is EVERYWHERE and has touched EVERY genre of music. If the truth be told, Hip Hop is more than a culture; it’s a way of …life and what the people at 4our Pillars aim to bring to you at the events are nights of pure Hip Hop in its true essence, whether you’re from the old school or the new school, we are one and all are welcome.
The first of the 4our Pillars events was held on June 22nd 2012 at the Underdog Gallery, Crucifix Lane, London SE1 3JW and was a success. Performing on the night were Son of Noise, MCM (from Caveman) and Kamanchi Sly (formerly of Hijack), DJ Biznizz, Bunny Bread and live BBoying from the UK’s No.1 crew, The Soul Mavericks.
There was also aerosol art by Mode 2 from the legendary Chrome Angelz who flew in to the country to support the cause, ArtJaz, Lovegrove, Airheads and Hatch.
This years event is just as BIG and will be held on 7th June at the Underdog Gallery, Arch6, Crucifix Lane, London SE1 3JW. The event kicks of at 8pm and will end at 2am. The Evening will be hosted by UK Hip Hop legend Rodney P, known by many as the ‘Godfather’ of UK Hip Hop, as his group London Posse were regarded as one of the first artists to spit in their UK accent back in the late 80’s early 90’s.
Performances on the night feature a depth of UK talent through the decades with emcees Million Dan aka Mike J from the Demon Boyz, TY, Micall Parknsun, BBoying from the UK’s No.1 crew, Soul Mavericks and Special Guests. Deejays on the night are just as sick featuring Skitz, Sarah Love, Big Ted, DJ Def K (Demon Boyz), DJ Fingers (Sindecut), DJ Mada (Son Of Noise/Hardnoise) and Bunny Bread.
Now lets not forget the Art! Aerosol Art duties on the night will be displayed by the talents of DDS Crew and ArtJaz, there will also be a photographic exhibition from the man Normski who has taken shots of some legendary figures in Hip Hop and of the culture through the years.
This truly is a night with everything a Hip Hop head could want, if i’m up and walking by then I hope to see there!
