“Dear World” is the first single from Dev Dapree’s 5th Mixtape “Hip-Hop’s Daughter ” which will be released April 4th, 2013.
Fuzz Jaxx and Kon Sci have teamed up to create a really fresh release. It’s got the reminiscent feel of early Jay-Z (DON’T HATE. You know Reasonable Doubt was the jam), mixed with Kon Sci’s ever-changing production. He is by no means a predictable producer, and his broad style really compliments Fuzz Jazz, who is a very diverse rapper on his own. They’re a clever and interesting pairing that works really well together.
For fans of 2 Dash Tone, early Jay-Z, Pragmatic Theory.
A really relevant and interesting video from SmCity and Maffew Ragazino analysing the role of black Americans in the Sports and Entertainment culture in America.
Watford emcee Ruthless dropped his new ‘The Last Instrument’ mixtape yesterday and its been worth the wait!! Now we’ve been big fans of Ruthless here at HHL&T ever since his debut release just over two years ago and have repped all his music and again we’re not disappointed with the talented Watford emcees latest offering.
The reason we’re such big fans of Ruthless’ music is his honesty in his bars. There’s no airs or graces with Ruthless, just straight up real bars, mans had it tough but doesn’t hide the fact as its those struggles that make him the artist he is today and gives him the drive to succeed, which we admire here at HHL&T.
All you can ask of an artist that you have followed since the start is progression and Ruthless clearly demonstrates this with 18 tracks of the realest Hip Hop, featuring beats from some of the sickest underground producers in the UK from Bizniz Beatz, Dead Man Walkn, Sunny Kokaine, Show N Prove, Micall Parknsun, Ill Thought Process, Artik, Agent Of Change, Terry Hooligan, Danny Bones, Rekless, Molban, Redskull, Mr.E, Jay Flames & also features two RUTHLESS COVERS over NAS & LINKEN PARK instrumentals.
Ruthless said about the mixtape “I put alot of work in on this one! Theres 18 songs and only one voice (mine) throughout the whole thing, 16 original productions and 2 COVER songs…. you’ll recognize them as soon as they come on no DOUBT!”
This is a must for fans of UK Hip Hop we really believe Ruthless is destined for big things, and to our followers overseas definitely check out this 23 year old emcee, coz you’ll be hearing a lot more from him here on HHL&T!!

Number 4 in the series of beat tapes from super famous, benz driving, gold-house living beat maker, Keith Price. By now you should really know the deal when it comes to this; we’ve already let you know about the man’s previous 3 Vols, along with his collab project Pragmatic Theory, but here’s the shortened version for those late to the prom. Ready?
Keith got to work cutting up, mixing (stop me if I sound like I’m talking about a cake) sampling, and scratching some classic tracks and a few lesser known, along with in his own ideas, production and instrumentation with only the help of a SP 505, overdubs, no sequencing, turntable and of course the vinyl. The result was 4 volumes of jazz infused, funk, keyboard-driven, soul, guitar-tinged, classic hip-hop (oh my days that was a long, semi-grammatical intro).
This is his last offering, and it’s a definite departure from his previous three. Maybe it’s because I have so many feelings, but this definitely has a more melancholic undertone to it, from the very out-set of the first track, to the outro I got that feeling. Not to say that this is the record you’ll listen to when you want to cry and wear black with the curtains closed, it just felt more at ease and more open to showcase some different paces and styles. Don’t get me wrong though, you can still listen to this and get your dance on, ‘Go Back’ and ‘Brown Leather Jacket’ are great examples of that, and whilst they both are short and sweet are mixed nicely and given enough time in their own right.
In short, if you’ve ever been a fan of Ant’s production (you should know that’s one half of Atmosphere), Mr Green and Motown’s Berry Gordy then you’ll be a fan of this.
Also, I reckon I could probably woo my girl to this record. Just keep that in mind.
