Another song to prove why I love the underground so much. Radio B doesn’t go in for any bullshit or bling, he’s all about perfecting his art. This song is all about the lyrics, and style. If you’re feeling this, then you can get the full-length version of ‘The Life’, along with the whole album ‘Live Good Be Great’ over at his site here.
So there I was, moaning away on our Facebook and Twitter account about how bored we are with the same old sexist, and badly written bullshit we get sent on a daily basis. Yes b, I’m sure you’ve got a huge cock and all the bitches love you…Thankfully, I was only sad about this for a few minutes until Matthew from UK crew The Breaks Collective showed me this video. Suffice to say my faith was once again restored after watching ‘Sleep’. Another reminder that there’s far too much good hip-hop coming out from the underground to ever really lose faith in this. ‘Sleep’ is a super catchy and cleverly made song and reminds me a lot of a mix between The Scribes, QELD and Jehst (see that boy live and you’ll see it straight away). We’ll be reviewing their fourth-coming release ‘Audio Art’ soon, so I’ll probably tell you they remind me of those guys all over again, so act surprised Until then, enjoy.
Skipp Whitman’s right, it does suck being broke. I think this song is relevant to about 80% of the underground hip-hop heads right now. Don’t worry we’re just as poor as you too. Collectivity Stix and I could do with about 40 grand, that would sort us out nicely.
Back to the track, this is an instant repeater and I haven’t stopped nodding my head yet. You can stop Skipp from being so broke by heading over to his Bandcamp page, and copping his new album ‘5AM’ for a a few measly bucks.
‘Demos’ looks like is a really interesting film narrated by Skyzoo, documenting the struggles of aspiring and up and coming artists. Whether you’re still grinding away in your mum’s basement, or if you’re getting mobbed at your local petrol station (or perhaps both, who knows) then I think you’ll find this extremely useful, or if nothing else, very entertaining watching. We’ll be looking forward to the full-length film!
The team DirtyTrix bring the second volume of TrixCity and Dirty D’s collaboration As always these dudes go in on a higher level than other average rappers. The tape also features the production skills of DJ Wickstar, and the vocal talents of Big J and CLC (although if you have read the title of this post you’d have already gathered that. As always it’s grimy kid realist hip-hop, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Provy Suflayy and Rachel Schryvers go and hang out with some school kids, and teach them a little about positivity. Awww and who said hip-hop doesn’t teach you things?
This is the Official Single from up coming EP ” Roll like Dem. Track Produced By Arua Boi & Furious T. Arranged & Mixed By Herman Allan (H.A) for Urban Pulse Creative.
Ok, so here’s something a little bit different from our usual posts. We’re big fans of UK emcee Spida Lee here at HHL&T and here’s another example of why, this emcee is not afraid to experiment with his music with ‘Fuck You’ being a Hip Hop/Rock fusion kind of along the lines as Run DMC/Aerosmith….Public Enemy/Anthrax flex…check it out for yourselves.
