No Sleep - Smasher ft Wretch 32, Maverick Sabre, Loudmouth Melvin & Black The Ripper

The multi-talented Smasher is back with a bang! This time round, he plays the role of producer and offers up his production skills to Wretch 32, Maverick Sabre, Loudmouth Melvin & Black The Ripper.  It's a cracking track; the beat carries a head-nodding feel good vibe throughout and the guest vocalists all come through with some heavy 16s.  A precursor to his upcoming "Set The Record Straight EP", it's offered for your listening pleasure as a free download.  Do the right thing - http://soundcloud.com/smasherofficial/sets/no-sleep-ft-wretch-32-maverick

Father's Day - Genesis Elijah

As social commentators go, you'll struggle to find better than Genesis Elijah. His latest track is an ode to the importance of Fathers. Deep and reflective as ever, he paints a vivid picture.  If you're feeling it, grab yourself a copy from http://genesiselijah.bandcamp.com/track/fathers-day  Big up Genesis and just for the vibe, big up Pops too...



How Not To Make A Living - Rewd Adams & The Last Skeptik

After dropping the "Everything's OK EP" a few weeks back, Rewd Adams & The Last Skeptik have finally blessed us with their full length project, "How Not To Make A Living". Boasting some of the sickest artwork I've seen for a while, the tag-team's latest venture is a tightly-woven blend of dope beats and relentless lyrics.

Rewd’s rambunctious flows stomp over Skeptik’s instrumentations throughout but it's on the more laid back tracks like "So Soulful" and "No More" where "HNTMAL" gains a greater depth. Don't get it twisted though, "Bring It Back" is the epitome of the energetic delivery that Adams' has built a steady reputation upon.

I've been waiting on this project since I first discovered it's conception and without a doubt, it doesn't fail to deliver! It's an essential listen/ download so make sure you hit up http://rewdadams.bandcamp.com/ and get involved. You won't regret it...

Fire In The Booth - Blizzard

The latest addition to Charlie Sloth's Fire In The Booth series comes in the form of Manchester native Blizzard.  If you're a Don't Flop fan, you should already know about this guy; he's overly talented.  Appropriately, it's straight fire so just bump this loud.  DFAFD...
