We haven’t done this in a few months, and I thought we’d bring it back because it’s always nice to hear a few classics tracks to remind you how and why you got into hip-hop in the first place. The last few Classic Sundays we covered only American artists, now this wasn’t an intentional thing, it just came out that way; but either way since we are a UK-based site then it can really never hurt to pay homage to the people that put UK hip-hop where it is today. Whether you’re from Britain or not I think you’ll enjoy and/or know the artists featured today, so enjoy!
First up is the very first UK group I was every aware of, I’d never heard vocal styles like Foreign Beggars, and truth be told even though I was a big hip-hop fan at the time, I still only mostly listened to U.S rappers and DJS. Once I discovered Foreign Beggars however, everything changed! Even though the group is technically made up of only 3 permanent members, MCs Orifice Vulgatron, Metropolis, and DJ Nonames, their collective family is huge. They constantly feature UK giants like Dr Syntax and Skrein through a lot of their records, and even though they might have mixed up their style in recent years you can’t deny their legacy.
Next up is the direct result of Foreign Beggars, even though they’ve been going longer for me personally I started listening to Task Force because of them guest vocalling in Foreign Beggars tracks. I instantly fell in love with these dudes, and have to say they surpassed them in the end. I loved both the brother’s vocal tones, and Louis Slipperz’ production skills. Again Task Force are technically those two, but Ramson Badbones, Blinks, and Marley amongst others are all family members of the Mud Family. When I first heard ‘Music From The Corner’ I lost my tiny mind! I really was that cliche kid, graffing with my mate and listening to Task Force. I’ve always been a fan of graffiti writers rapping; for me personally they give a different visual imagery in their raps, just look at Aesop Rock. TF all day!
In a related subject, Farma G’s son Remus is carrying on the family tradition of making solid hip-hop, and coming into his own.

Not to be confused with the UK’s own Yoshi Riot, although a little collab album would be jokes.

In case you were unaware and not cool enough to know, then you may not know that Remulak and Stakka Lyrics have just released they latest EP ‘The Remarkable EP’, and will be releasing the digital download in the up and coming weeks. The physical copy which comes with artwork (which is super tasty) and stickers; and there’s only 100 being made so this’ll be super rare if you’re lucky enough to get your grubby paws on one. As usual Stakka goes in with clever flows, ridiculous wordplay, and Remulak gives you enough cuts and scratches to keep any DJ-superfan happy.
The EP is well paced, and the sometimes laid-back production really works with both Stakka’s constantly changing style and flow, and the only guest MC on the EP, Xidus Pain bounces off Remulak’s beats perfectly on the opening track. ‘One Man’s Poison’ showcases Remulak’s surreal production style, and does a great job of pushing Stakka’s varied vocal tone, and is one of the best on the EP. Stakka really makes each track his own, and firmly brands it with his unique style. Apparently Cambridge City is where all the good UK hip-hop lives at the moment, or at least a city with some really hardworking artists. We definitely back Stakka and the rest of the Bridge City fam, and this EP only demonstrates more why.
You can buy the physical copy now, and listen to the EP sample on Bandcamp, and give Stakka’s other releases a good rinse. If you need more convincing just check the man’s freestyle video below raaaar

Dekay had this one for sure, Uno just drunkenly talked and swore the whole time.
