Shawn Lee returns with a new album on BBE … Pre-order now on
iTunes: http://georiot.co/3u8O
Amazon: http://georiot.co/21am

‘Golden Age Against The Machine’ is a passion play. A living audio love letter to the golden age of hip-hop. This spans the early 80’s to the mid 90’s. Shawn takes up the story

“Like many other musicians, sample based production effected me deeply. It permeated the how and what i played. The sonic qualities of my productions, the arrangements and my drumming… hip-hop at its best was raw and unconventional…. there is something magical about grabbing a loop from an old funk record and layering it with some strings from an easy listening record and pitching down a horn stab from a jazz record and a guitar lick from pysch rock record …. and then pinning it down with a fat beat”

Released May 2014

This was the last ever time the group had the honour of sharing the stage with their lead singer Danny Wilder before he passed away at the age of 27.

At the time of this performance, Danny had already been battling cancer for six months, but being the fighter he was, nothing was to stop him getting on the stage.

“R.I.P brother and thank you for giving us the best experiences in our lives.” – Kings Of The City

Much love to the band and family of Danny Wilder from the HHL&T team.

One year ago, Inkline was released from the Alabama Dept. of Corrections. Today he is officially “Gettin’ Out”. Apt. B and B.O.M.B. Productions present the first single from InkLine’s upcoming album, ‘Stones Cry’. ‘Gettin’ Out’ was produced by EsNine (Prime Element) upon Ink’s release from prison back in May, 2013. This track finds Inkline facing the challenges of transitioning back into a society that now seems foreign to him. Amidst the struggle of being a long distance father/starving artist, InkLine vows, on this record, to stop taking life for granted and start enjoying the the simple things…such as good coffee and well… FREEDOM.

Allen Poe & Moteleola - Symmetry & Shade artwork

London producer Moteleola’s latest joint EP, ‘Symmetry & Shade’, with Kentucky emcee, Allen Poe.

Symmetry & Shade is a 3 track concept EP, capturing the upside hope a man feels at the start of a relationship, followed by the collapse of a failed relationship (Symmetry). The final track is the grim (Shade) reality of being alone and giving up on love altogether, writing his experiences with love off, and being a misunderstood man.

allyouknow

Recently Ambrosia For Heads (website) posted producer Apollo Brown’s “Cigarette Burns” instrumental EP and mentioned that if anyone spit to any of the beats they’d be interested in hearing the result. So Mass rhyme slayer, Revalation, took them up on that and dissected major labels robbing artists & people over supporting artists pushed by the machine.
