There are moments on this EP where Reds has really had the will to succeed with such awesome displays of truly elevated lyricism and some amazing production to compliment. The old cliché, “If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it,” is something that come to mind while flicking through the eight tracks on this extended player. Hip-Hop is Hip-Hop and its best done in a Hip-Hop way, something that Reds seems to do with ease. With honest and thought-provoking lyrics and by sticking to the same blueprint of realism as always, Reds has upped his efforts with each release he has done. Salute for another solid outing and keeping things consistent.
Hipman Junky is a name you should already be aware of, but if not let us take the time to tell you! Touring with the likes of Zena and N-Dubz, working with classic UK garage label 10below, featuring on Link Up TV and collaborating on tracks alongside Benny Banks, Sway, Harry Shotta and Haze, Hipman Junky have been carving a name in the music world.
Hipman Junky is back with his latest single ‘On The Fence’ which is produced by Specialist Moss who also features. The song is already blowing up on the underground with a selection of positive reviews of some of the UK’s most followed blogs, as well as support from tastemakers and deejays.
Mixing and blending up a mixture of UK based genres, ‘On The Fence’ is a track that uses and lends influences from urban, ska, rap, reggae, indie and pop making it a real melting pot of UK sounds. The track is infectiously brilliant with a catchy chorus with easy listening wordplay.
The video for the track is also something refreshingly good as creatively the promotional video directed by Jay Parpworth hits home with great ideas and shots; the perfect visual to a perfect piece of audio.

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.

This is UK Hip-Hop at its best and yet another solid release from the Midlands.
The long player really does impress as it showcase the skills and flows of Soloman Gehazi’s distinctive style. The way he executes his clever wordplay is complimented by intricate wordplay and excellent lyrical punch-line abilities. Production throughout the album is from Termite, a producer who is known for his diverse style. He flips all styles here from the more hard-hitting bangers to more soulful blessed out grooves. Together the combination is deadly and his beats act as the perfect soundscape for ‘Gehazimite’.
The album features the single and video track ‘Harsh But Fair’ as well as the hugely popular ‘Verbal Enforcer 1.5’. Tracks such as ‘Dreams’ are more conceptual, showing Soloman Gehazi’s massive talent to write good songs. The politically charged ‘Don’t Trust’ and hard hitting deep lyrics on Truthful perspectives that will have you thinking on various issues, and the next video track ‘Euroclydon’ featuring Radical, The Praying Mantis and D7 is also included. This well rounded album impresses from start to finish, make sure you take time out to grab this.
