Cats, and scratching! What’s better than that? Nothing is better than that. Another dope release from Matabi, with some tasty cuts, samples and of course some lovely MC features, but there’s on catch I’m afraid.
“Unfortunately a tracklist wasn’t put together, but If you ask Matatabi kindly we’re sure he will give folks the names of records used in the mix.
Self professed Boombap kids I expect you to be on this like beans on toast.
Yes, yes, yes! Nottingham local K.J Palmer. Rapper and photographer, this whole video was filmed in one shot and it’s simplicity is brilliant. The wordplay in this is on a next level, and I found myself rewinding the track to listen to all the extra little bits I missed the first time. We will definitely be watching out for K.J’ up and coming release ‘Perception is Reality’ in the future.
Have a listen to other stuff on his Soundcloud which is as equally as good. Hoohoo this is the best stuff I’ve found in our inbox all day.
Come on now, if this song doesn’t at least put a half smile on your face then you are one sad Sally. This is exactly what I want to hear on this rainy January day. Chin up, it’ll be summer soon. I’d be intrigued to see what else comes from the DVo camp when he releases ‘Breather’ later this year, which is entirely produced by DVo and Oh_ZAM!, looking forward to it.
This song is dedicated to you Stix, feel better soon fam.

Really enjoyed this cheeky short but sweet freestyle from KrisRapsBetter. It’s a catchy spit, and it makes me anticipate his forthcoming ‘The Dope Compilation Mixtape Vol. 3’ release. If that doesn’t spark your interest, then maybe the DJ Premier and Big L beat will?
If you fancy listening to some earlier releases by KrisRapsBetter then head on over to all the links below.
(Hey so, Safari is a kind of, definitely is a crap browser because this is the second time I’ve had to type this out. Why is life so hard for me?)
There are some things that I don’t think our colonial cousins across the pond, nor the rest of the world will ever completely understand. Some parts of British humour will never truly translate well. Which is why some dudes might not ‘get’ why Big Dutty Deeze decided to dress up in a blonde wig, QELD shoot videos with their mums, or that Shaodow and Zuby made a video about kidnapping people so their tour wouldn’t be a bust.
Our surreal and sarcastic attitude to ‘super serious sensitive artist mode’ at times might be hard to understand, but one thing you can never accuse our artists of being is stagnant or generic (well yeah, obviously there are rather a lot but I’m not talking about any of that nonsense today). With that nice little intro out of the way, I proudly give you another example of what our rainy shores can produce. Just because the dude’s riding about on a child’s bike, in a skeleton mask doesn’t make the inventive content, and slightly off-key rapping style any better. This is uniqueness and originality in its finest forms.
(Yes, yes I know MF Doom wears a mask. I’m not saying this is reinventing the wheel, it’s just a funny video. Gosh untwist your knickers)
