Rhymefest records at New York’s legendary Baseline Studios w/ super-producer Just Blaze.
The end tune sounds dope, but Ryhmefest has some serious problems in the booth. Also features appearances by Chicago Tribe B-boy Crew & Fest performance at Lollapalooza.
Roll on his his sophomore LP, El Che, released on May 18 2010. Keep your eyes peeled for his last “Pre-LP” mixtape, Dangerous: 5-18, in April 2010.
My good friend Dj Khalil is kindly offering his newest mixtape out for free.
For those of you that copped his exclusive Hip Hop Connection Mixtape for THTC will know this one is worth a download, however don’t expect straight Hip Hop… this mixtape blends “something a little different”, expect beats, electronic, house, garage, touch of dubstep… nice.
Whilst Daredevil holds the fort back here in London, myself (DJ Nickname) and DJ Matman will be taking the Droppin’ Science sound to Petrcane in July where you will also be able to check out the likes of DaM-FunK, Zero 7, The Cinematic Orchestra and a shed load more!
Tickets are dead cheap for a festival, and they’re selling fast so don’t sleep!
The first single from forthcoming album ‘You Need This Music’ by Nottz out on Raw Koncept. Great tune and complimented by superb video too. This guy is in my current top 5 right now.
I’m a little late writing about this (mad hectic month!), however it’s certainly not too late for anyone to head over to the Lazarides gallery on Greek St, Soho to check out the Faile X Bast exhibition. Definitely not one to be missed here, expect flouro colours, old school arcade machines, table football and more. Bring your best shades too!
To kick-start 2010, Lazarides Gallery are proud to present a rare treat in the form of Faile and long-time collaborator Bast. The two floors of Lazarides Greek Street will be taken over for a truly experiential exhibition. Faile and Bast’s signature elements will resound throughout the gallery, creating an explosive installation. You’ll be able to interact with the products of their artistic collaboration, and even purchase original works for just £2, unless, you want to use them within the exhibition, intrigued? You should be.
