Another Nick Brewer video, this time collaborating with The Confect. We’ll also be interviewing him next week so look out for that.
Akala is a renowned English rapper, poet, and journalist. Emerging from London’s hip-hop underground, in 2006 Kingslee ‘Akala’ Daley) won the MOBO ‘Best Hip-Hop’ award for his debut album “It’s Not A Rumour”. Since then he has released his second album “Freedom Lasso” and toured extensively in the UK and around the world. He has also found the time to take his own energetic and original workshops all over the country working for clients such as the BBC, London Metropolitan Archives, Times BFI London Film Festival and various schools/youth clubs around the capital.
Breaking down the culture of cliché and stereotype that smothers the genre he loves is a major part of the mission he’s taken on, and gives impetus to this third album of pointed, perceptive hip hop music from the convention-defying emcee. Akala has performed at various UK festivals including V Festival, Wireless, Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Parklife and Isle of Wight.

The Godfather of Boom Bap is back and rocking a real club set!
DJ Premier is bar none the single most respected and influential producer in Hip-Hop, not just today but for the past 30 odd years. His signature ‘Boom Bap’ sound, honed through his years as one half of the legendary Gangstarr, alongside the late great GURU, is the definitive sound not only of ‘Golden Era’ Hip-Hop but of New York Hip-Hop as a whole.
Having produced bangers for every of Hip-Hop’s greatest MCs his discography is the most complete of any producer out there. From Biggie & Jay-z to Busta & Nas to Luda & Snoop & even as far as Limp Bizkit & Christina Aguilera there is no one that DJ Premier hasn’t worked with without ever loosing that signature ‘Premo Sound’.
Part of his phenomenal success is the man’s constant work ethic. When not in the studio he is constantly on the decks either recording for his ‘Live from HQ” podcast or touring and it is this constant drive that keep him one of the most exciting DJs to hear in a genuine club setting like you will here tonight.
Also flying in is a man who would be happy to describe himself as DJ Premier’s protégé; Statik Selektah, another producer who has a classic Boom Bap sound and sick skills on the turntables. With production credits for legends like Q-Tip, Talib Kweli & Mobb Deep as well as new school acts like Mac Miller, Joey Badass & Freddie Gibbs this is one producer who will continue to rise.
Supporting as ever is a cast of The Doctor’s Orders favourites who spend their life ripping up London’s clubs in the shape of The Foreign Beggar’s own DJ Nonnames, Mr Thing & Spin Doctor. Also providing a live element to the night is Skillit who will be marking the release of his new album with an early PA to get the places warmed up right.

Another joint from C4mula. We promoted this dude a few days ago, so to get hold of his mixtape, and check his other video just click the link. Hello I am a link lalala.
A very introspective track from Chris Skillz and Kyle Owens, concerning some pretty serious issues, not something that a lot of rappers normally touch on. Chris opens up about his past battles with depression and self-harm to serve as a reminder to people currently going through similar problems, to always keep their heads up. A lot of respect for putting this track out.
