I was going to write up a little intro to this album but then I read the promotional synopsis and the first line made me laugh so I thought it best to share it all with you. I will say this however, you need to get this album into your collection. To get your hands on the release just tap on the image above.

“Los Angeles based duo Self Scientific are concerned with one thing and one thing only: partying in expensive clubs. Actually, what I meant to say is that Chace Infinite and DJ Khalilare only concerned with the exact f**king opposite, as new release State of Man, making its worldwide premiere right now, once again so aptly illustrates. Behind the board Khalil puts together a simultaneously spacey and darkly epic beat that see-saws between synths, strings and pounding percussion. It’s the perfect backdrop for Chace to deliver lyrical reminders that we the people – not politicians, not preachers – are the ones who truly possess the power to improve our current state. Fans can also find this cut and much more dopeness on Self-Scientific’s Fear & Propaganda album, due out in January of 2012.”

I know, I know it’s two London events posted in one night but what you do want? You’ve got events happening in your neck of the words; be it Liverpool, Scunthorpe or NYC. Drop us a line and I’ll get ’em up. In the mean time you can’t stay this doesn’t look good!

The new and improved CAMDEN ROCK is slowly but surely creating a reputation for excellent live music shows every night of the week.

MEOW had a hand in building this reputation, bringing quality unsigned acts to the stage every month. On SATURDAY 19TH NOVEMBER we return with some more UK talent.

FREEZE

Has just signed a sponsorship deal with Spy Denim & Global Sports. Freeze has become a regular performer for Meow over the past couple of months and has a new mix tape set to be released over Christmas called “The Deep Freeze”.

 SOUL URBAN POET

Started off writing poetry as far back as he can remember. He has surrounded himself in the Hip-Hop culture since he was just thirteen. Inspired by artists such as Tupac, Wiley, Sam Cooke, Akala, Dizee Rascal and Skinnyman, Soul’s focus turned from listening to music to making music.

MINE 2 KEEP

Is a young man with his feet on the ground but with the world at his feet. Something that you cant normally say about artists in the music industry. Been a supporter of Meow showcases for nearly a year now and is definitely one to watch.

WIGGY GENERAL

Started out in music with a group called Killa Beez, began to DJ at house parties and other raves around London, after parting from the Killa Beez he moved on to a group called Jam Thugz. After playing some of his music to DJ Mayor he insisted he joined a group called Gangster Circle, from their he never looked back.

 VERB ALLIES

Are a 2 man group based in the Midlands. STYLUS formerly a DJ has been writing lyrics since his teens and soon after started to make beats. After teaming up with RENOUN they formed the group called VERB ALLIES.

Ras Kass, Planet Asia, Jasiri X & Torae a.k.a. the Dangerous Alliance, “Classical Music”

Mmm mmm what a mix. and it’s all for freee!
Click on me yum, yum, yum.

“On “Classical Music”, REL!G!ON reached out to his four favorite emcees – Ras Kass, Planet Asia, Jasiri X and Torae – and created a fictitious rap super group called the “Dangerous Alliance” based on the famous sports entertainment wrestling stable of the same name. “Hearing these four rappers together is a dream. When I was younger I would imagine rap superstar stables, guys that I thought would sound nice together. I do the same thing with wrestlers, it’s very serious for me,” says REL!G!ON. He sent the instrumental first to Ras Kass’ people, then sent that edit to Torae’s people, then Planet Asia jumped on, followed by Jasiri X. The result is “Classical Music”, four of the hardest lyricists over a REL!G!ON beat that he says he uses to secure victory in beat battles. “I would love it if these guys would join together and form a supergroup. I would produce that in a second. They all have their own style but the one thing they have in common is hard lyrics! I’m going to try and make that happen”, says REL!G!ON. “Classical Music” (The Dangerous Alliance edit) is featured on REL!G!ON’S soon to be released album called REL!GULOUS through Wandering Worx Music.”

So in between being beaten by a mean muthafucka on Darksiders and drinking flat fizz and rum last night I was also listening to Conspiracy Radio Worldwide. They played a track from the Mick Boogie mixtape “My Adidas” a homage to the great Run DMC.It serves as a tribute not an imitation and I’ve been rocking the mixtape all day since I downloaded it. I suggest you too, treat for the ears. It features some of the skills of Rapper Big Pooh, Kidz in The Hall, GLC, Tanya Morgan and DJ Jazzy Jeff to name a few.

Livin’ Proof / 4th Birthday / The CAMP / 26th Nov / Special Guest Shortee Blitz

You doing much in the 26th of November and live in or around London?

LIVIN PROOF 4th BIRTHDAY
SATURDAY 26th NOVEMBER // 9PM 4AM
At the City Arts & Music Project (C.A.M.P)
70-74 City Rd, Old Street, EC1Y 2BJ

4th Birthday Mixtape: http://soundcloud.com/livinproofmusic/the-4th-birthday-mixtape

“On November 26th, Londons most respected Hip Hop clubnight celebrates their 4th birthday. Born in a small Soho basement, the Livin Proof collective have quickly grown from strength-to-strength. Since day-one they have been putting on roadblock parties all across London from warehouse parties, Cable, Camp, Concrete, Cargo to initmate bungalow 8 & Marketplace shows, but this time celebrate in the intimate basement of the CAMP in Old Street.

Grown largely through word-of-mouth, they have a unique vibe: a party where guys and girls have stage-dived to Wu Tang; where people run on stage to demand the DJ re-loads a track; a place where despite the chaos everyone leaves with a smile on their face, tells their friends and make sure they come back for the next party. It really has to be seen, to be believed.

Their reputation has meant that in the last 4 years, they have shared stages with Ali Shaheed Muhammed from A Tribe Called Quest, Jay Electronica, Hudson Mohawke, Pharoahe Monche, Frank Ocean, Slum Village, Kelis, and Raekwon. This year saw them take on a mini Germany tour with packed shows in Berlin, Cologne and Aachen, they host a weekly radio show on www.ntslive.co.uk and are to date, the only hip-hop collective to have had a regular slot on the seminal Boiler Room (http://boilerroom.tv) online streaming show.

If you want to see why everyone is talking about Londons liveliest hip-hop party, we recommend you head down to their 4th birthday party where you can catch the full crew including Khalil, Snips, Budgie, a special AV visual set from DJ Rags, host The Last Skeptik and special guest Shortee Blitz.”

Happy Anniversary To The Zulu Nation

38 Years ago a bunch of creative, like minded, artistic street kids decided to get together and basically create one of the major foundations of hip-hop today. But you already knew that right? Without the likes of Afrika Bambaataa there wouldn’t be this beautiful culture we now dance around in on a daily basis. Tupac would’ve stayed in Balitmore Arts School or joined the New Afrikan Black Panthers, Ice-T would be going into gangsta retirement, Emimen would still be stacking shelves and Wocka Flocka Flame…Well he’d probably still be making pop record so no change there. To celebrate this occasion we’ll be posting some classics from the back catalogs of the great masters all week. This first one will the track that changed it all, “Planet Rock”.

This is the best documentary on hip-hop I’ve ever come across. It’s got some rad footage and the interviews with Ice-T make for some cinematic gold.  It’s in three parts and it’s hard to get hold of but there are some torrents of it floating about, but here it is all loaded up on Youtube in high quality by some nice person.

Free album download

Err so you should get this album not just because it’s a killer, but because it’s called “Sax, Drugs & On The Dole”. If that alone doesn’t get you interested then you’ve got no sense of humour and I feel sorry for you. The album itself isn’t a joke release, it’s a solid record I can just appreciate the black humour.
