Consider this the first of many posts today of some ridiculous hip-hop (as always son). Reef is one of my all-time favourite rappers ever since I first came across Army Of The Pharaohs, and since then he’s consistently put out bangers, and teamed up with fantastic spitters. Blacastan is such a solid rapper, catchy as anything but in no way ever diluted. I really can’t find a bad word to say about him, and the two rappers compliment each other perfectly on this track. The production and scratching is reminiscent of that nice summer feeling we’ve all forgotten over these LONG winter months. I can’t wait to start rocking this song over a BBQ. A pure golden track.
“This song is taken from Blacastan’s forthcoming LP “The Master Builder Part II” 2 X CD (disc 1-full length album; disc 2-mixtape version of full album plus bonus cuts) which is now available, hosted & mixed by Doo Wop & Mr. Peter Parker. Featuring appearances from Slaine, Celph Titled, Moe Pope, OuterSpace, Mr. Green, Reef The Lost Cauze & more.”

So this is my first real day off on my own, without some sucker giving me reh teh teh in about shall we say a fortnight. I have of course spent the day doing some real scandalass shit. You know, vacuuming, having a bath and watching Law & Order: SVU (The greatest thing on TV), those real crazy gangsta road tings you’d expect any one of the HHLAT Squad to be getting up to. Fuck man, I might even switch some shit up and go downstairs and make myself another tea after I’ve drunk this one. Hooohoo!
Where is this going you say? It’s my excuse for not having loads of content on the site all afternoon. The boys are all working and I’ve been getting up to the previously above mentioned scandalass shit, so please keep checking back this evening for all that awesome content you’ve come to expect from Hip-Hop Life & Times. We REALLY appreciate any and all support we’ve been given since our inception, scene supporting itself.

Video for the Ugly Duckling song “Elevate”. Animated by Justin Ridge and directed by Stoney Sharp, this is the first video from the group’s 2011 album “Moving At Breakneck Speed”.
The video features comedians T.J. Miller and Zack Pearlman as well as Nathan Barnatt and several other members of the UD family. The goal of this video was to bring the Breakneck Speed album cover to live. See if you can also spot each of the previous Ugly Duckling album covers throughout the video.

This is not really a music video but it is the band’s official upload for the track.
The song is a perfect mix of technique, flow and content. The number of styles on this track is truly a testament to how varied grime can be. The instrumental proves that grime MCs can rap over traditional instrumentals as well.
Some of their other tracks are available here http://bit.ly/syLimV and their Twitter is @delusionists.
If you want to help support the band then you can swing by here and vote for Ben to appear on Dot Rotten’s next release.
Loe Pesci leaves the battle circuit to release the first single off of his phenomenal solo album GOOD X 2.
The single features Joe Rogan and is produced by Moon Boots who manages to evoke both Rza and Stevie Wonder with the instrumental.
This is a perfect example of what to expect from the album, great soulful samples and laid back beats with a chilled out old school vibe.
Each track has custom artwork which is all album cover worthy.
Check the album here http://oghindukush.bandcamp.com/album/good-x-2
Loe Pesci is a part of the Hip Hop group OG Hindu Kush who’s album “In 3D” is one of 2011s underground gems, clearly Loe Pesci is one to watch this year.
Costello and G.I. back with another great video
