After nearly three years, original Roadside G’s member Dan Diggerz is back on SBTV with a banger! With verses from Brixton’s own Naja Soze & Nathan Height!
Scottish rapper One OZ with the visual for the track ‘Ahead Of The Curve’, Produced by Micall Parknsun. Taken from ‘The Green Brick Road’ EP out MONDAY.
A still pretty raw release from theMassachusetts MC Diogenes and NY DJ Reckonize Real. It’s a short but enjoyable offering from the pair, and it’s for fans of Dre Murry, early Atmosphere. It was released a while back but now it’s up for grabs for nada pence.
Alright I’m aware that not everyone reading this will read this at night time, but for a chilled Wednesday whilst I eat my dinner this is perfect. Then again, I’ll probably still be a fan tomorrow at 9am whilst I munch my breakfast too-but I’m trying to set a scene here guys. A mise-en-scène if you will yeah (I learnt that one in film A-Levels, what up Karen you were the only lecturer that believed in meeee!).
This is a great beat tape for either pure vibing to the mixing, production and tasty scratching or if you fancy rhyming over. In fact if you do want to try spitting a few lines then he encourages any MC to get in contact. For me I’d be quite happy to read my comics and bop my head to this. For fans of US East Coast (Philly/NYC/NJ) and that dark Scottish hip-hop they’ve got up there. The best part is this from the North West of England based label Northern Structure Records. Homegrown talent yo. Honestly I’m just a fan of anything past Coventry so this makes me happy.
You can get both records now for free on Bandcamp.
While the 90’s may have been a pinnacle time for producers in terms of innovation, experienced heads can tell who’s in the game to make a quick buck and who’s crafting songs to help diversify the genre’s existence. If you fall under the latter — that is to say, you enjoy sharp lyrics and beats that’ll force you to spit your best 16, then Long Island’s very own Diabolic will be right for you with his DJ Premier produced single, “Diabolical Sound,” taken from his forthcoming LP, ‘Fightin Words’.
As the legendary Premo builds upon his signature style to create a sinister anthem akin to what brought him to the forefront of the game during the genre’s Golden Era, Diabolic delivers bar after bar of creative genius that runs circles around your typical radio rapper’s cookie cutter rhyme scheme. “Diabolical Sound” is the first lead track taken from Diabolic’s ‘Fightin Words’ LP, which is set to drop on September 16th. The album includes features from Sean Price, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, RA the Rugged Man, and more.. stay tuned for more heat from Diabolic!
The hottest property out of Brum since Malik, Dirtz is a rare character in modern-day British hip hop: uncompromising, gimmick-free, refusing to play the game to crossover commercially and above all he keeps it real. That approach has already helped to put his crew Nothink 2 Prove as one of the cities main crews, ramming dances and unleashing original music. This is much more that unashamed thug rap, instead its music that has helped them to cement his rising status. Dirtz spits the truth from start to finish giving us a diverse collection well worth checking out.
