EPK for the deluxe release of MysDiggi’s debut LP ‘Mystrogen’ out now. Follow @MysDiggi or visit http://www.mysdiggi.com
Following on from the success and much talked about reception of the highly anticipated debut LP ‘MYSTROGEN’ from one of UK’s most prolific entertainers amongst the Hip-Hop elite, Mystro aka MysDiggi returns with the ‘MYSTROGEN DELUXE’ LP a bumper-pack filled with more of his unquestionable creativity. The charisma and unmatched wit continues to churn out of 1 of UK’s finest as we start off this remastered version of the LP with the ‘WHAT TYPE OF DRUG IS MYSTROGEN?’ EP, from tracks 1-9 broken up by the humourous revisit to FDT radio as Mystro is quizzed about the release and his carreer among other things whilst we hear tunes such as the neo-funk driven ‘Find Ya Groove’ produced by Black Einstein & featuring Maya Blu which help us understand that this journey of life is just fine once we find the path that we’re comfortable on. Tracks such as the Mark de Clive-Lowe produced ‘Lamb’s Bread’ & ‘Charlie’ with a backdrop tailored by DJ Thor prove yet again why MysDiggi is on another planet when it comes to manipulating the English language and his versatile usage of wordplay. All this gets you ready fro the musical journey that is ‘MYSTROGEN’

Lara Lee, star of BBC’s The Voice UK, joins rapper and activist Potent Whisper to release new single in opposition to the rapid gentrification of Brixton and London.
“The song Brixton First explicitly addresses the huge numbers of ongoing evictions, tripled rent prices and Lambeth Council’s failure to act in the interest of the people it claims to represent. However, perhaps more importantly, the song highlights that these are issues we face not only in Brixton but in London as a whole. The song is a call for direct action across the capital, starting with Brixton” – Potent Whisper
The single, recorded at Jamm Studios in Brixton, is one in a line of arts pieces due to be released by the newly launched multi-arts community campaign ‘Our Brixton’ who in early April led a direct action at Foxtons estate agents on Brixton Road. Artists and local residents headed to Foxtons with sleeping bags and pillows where they staged a lie-in to highlight the displacement and homelessness that comes as a result of the ongoing evictions in the area.
The music video for the new single was filmed at the Reclaim Brixton demonstration on 25th April and produced by revolutionary video production company Global Faction, who boast 22+ million views on YouTube.
According to Erick Sermon, “nobody’s grittier than Sheek Louch,” and “the nicest underrated rapper is Joell Ortiz.” These are just couple of the reasons why he made sure to enlist his fellow New York lyricists on his single “Make Room,” from his anticipated new solo album ‘E.S.P.’ which drops in August.
While at the video shoot which went down in the Bronx, the Green-Eyed Bandit conveyed the story of how DJ Desue encouraged him to use the beat for the track. Erick immediately knew it was “hard as hell,” and held an organic New York sentiment.
The EPMD frontman then spoke on his thoughts on New York City MCs, saying, “At the end of the day, when it comes down to New York City, there’s nobody to represent New York City [other] than these MCs, and this is our city. They got to stop fronting on us. They got to stop fronting on us making records how we want to make them.”
He continues to challenge his contemporary and emerging rappers, saying, “So what, we want to rhyme. What’s bad about us wanting to emcee, and have some drums on our sh*t; what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with the Hip-Hop? That’s why I came, and that’s why I called them for that, because I wanted to show them n****s like, ‘Yo, New York is here and we ain’t playing.”
After showing respect to A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, Troy Ave, Action Bronson, and Flatbush Zombies, the “Music” MC contends that New York’s proven wordsmiths like Fabolous, Jadakiss, and Jay Z are still at the genre’s forefront. “It’s just all the OGs still, no new people. They ain’t letting nobody else in,” he says.
