Luton producer and recording artist ‘5n6’ has just freshly released his debut solo music video for the track ‘Walk With Me’. The track features fellow Luton rapper and second cousin of 5n6: ‘Lil Pobidansta’ on the second verse. The track is a quality self produced track and is heavy with 808’s and classic violins setting the mood. The music video was also directed and edited by 5n6 with assistance from a local student for most of the camera operation.
The video takes you through the town centre of this up and coming artists hometown and finishes with footage/audio mixed in from a studio session where the artist is freestyling in the booth.
5n6 has been a core part of three recent UK Runnings mixtapes. He is a part of the crew ‘XO The Rebellion’ (A studio collaboration with Himself, Tommy DMO and Closure) who have a mixtape out now on datpiff called ‘Kush & Cognac’. 5n6 also released two boom bap style hip hop mixtapes as half of the rap duo ‘Collective Underground’.
Currently 5n6 is in his studio writing and recording the final tracks for his debut self produced album: ‘Parameters’ which is set for release at the end of summer 2013.
Before artists were cheating YouTube for more video views, and labels engaged in buy backs for their own artists’ albums to inflate sales, one true way you knew a track was hot was how many people recorded it on their own tape decks. Well, Alpha Faktion is bringing those memories back with a vengeance in their latest video, “Truth, Lies & Audiotape.” Since “it’s hard to see the truth on the inside of your eyelids,” KrazeILLA The Monster and Azwun are here to open your mind to the pollution the spread by mainstream media. The revolution continues on their EP of the same title, dropping May 21st, which boasts guest features from the likes of Shabaam Sahdeeq and Skeezo, and includes production from Vherbal, Skammadix and 2Deep.

North West London artist Razor has spent the last few years networking tirelessly and raising his profile with a series of nationally recognised mixtapes, magazine features and award nominations for Exposure Music and The Official Mixtape Awards.
‘The Distraction’ is Razor’s latest EP and the follow up to 2012’s ‘Progression’ release. With this release Razor again uses his music as expression, as therapy, as catharsis; speaking on the events in his life that could have shut down him and his rise, and confronting them through his art.
Recently Razor emerged as the winner of the ‘In It To Win It’ rap competition, going up against artists like English Frank, Pyrelli and Jammin and has subsequently had the video for his song ‘Closer’ produced by Link Up TV – adding to his growing catalog of videos in rotation, including those featured on Channel AKA’s Hoodtube playlist.
Razor has also performed at open mic showcases across the city, including those hosted by DJ Charlie Sloth (BBC 1Xtra) and DJ Quincy (Choice fm), and has recently expanded beyond London, all the while pursuing his own strategy of independent distribution and promotion. Plans for touring Ayia Napa along with DJ Quincy are currently in process.

This EP had music videos for the tracks ‘Spotlight’ and ‘In My Mind’, two tracks that still rock the spot at even now at live shows. In May 2012 they where involved in the collaborative EP ‘Business Amongst Men’ with fellow Wolverhampton recording artist Charlie Bwoy H which again was well received by Hip-Hop fans.

In the summer of 2012 Hot Rox & Pact hooked up with UK Runnings mixtape deejay & producer Tricksta, to discuss plans for their new album.

Tricksta also got chosen as the official mixtape deejay to host & mix ‘Dare 2 Win’ which came out through UK Runnings in March, as well as Tricksta being commissioned to mix and master the Lost Alliance debut album ‘Life Cycle’.
Lost Alliance have been making noise on the internet two with exclusive freestyles/performances for Chromosome Live Lab, Urban Vibe UK, Big Fingz TV and B-iLLA TV, as well as featuring on over fifty of the leading UK blogs and having a strong local fan base. Now as they drop their debut album ‘Life Cycle’ the future looks so bright with performances planned this summer in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Leamington Spa, Luton, London and more.
