The Bluestown EP - Rag'N'Bone Man

Back on my Wordplay flex people.  Rum Committee's Rag'N'Bone Man's new EP is a refreshing, original and downright soulful listen.  Something a little different for your listening pleasure.

Public Enemy @ Motion, Bristol

Easy people! I've been slipping of late (once again).  It's not all doom and gloom though.  A few weeks back, I was fortunate to be in attendance as Public Enemy celebrated the 25th anniversary of their legendary debut "Yo! Bum Rush The Show".  Further more, I had the massive honour of interviewing the one and only Chuck D for the next issue of Wordplay so make sure you keep your eyes and ears peeled for that!

If you wanna peep my verbals about the gig alongside some much, much better photos, make sure you hit up http://www.wordplaymagazine.com/2012/11/reviews/public-enemy-motion-bristol-28-10-12/ asap!

Don't Flop: Boombap Festival Trailer

Boombap was a crazy weekend! Saw some cracking sets from the likes of Four Owls, Kyza, Dr. Syntax, Stig Of The Dump, Prose, Skuff & Inja and shedloads of other heads.  The Don't Flop tent served as the setting for jokes upon jokes.  They've just dropped a teaser of the battle footage from the weekend; they're definitely not to be missed.  I even make a little audience cameo around the three minute mark.  Make sure you keep your eyes and ears peeled for when they start landing...

Morning Process - Verb T

Long time no speak! Apologies for the absence, had a lack of drive/ working too much! Anyways, back to business!  Verb T's dropped his new album and it's a peach.  Straight Wordplay business here; peep the verbals and while you're at it, subscribe and get yourself the latest issue as it's now landed...

The Uprising - Foreign Beggars

Time for a Wordplay exclusive! I've been lucky enough to have had a listen to the upcoming new album from Foreign Beggars.  It's on a completely different vibe to their older material and bound to have a few Hip Hop heads turning their noses up.  Defo still worth a listen so peep the verbals...

Life Is Good - Nas

Nasir Jones is well and truly back folks.  "Life Is Good" should definitely be filed under 'Instant Classic'. Peep the review - http://www.wordplaymagazine.com/2012/08/reviews/nas/

Rappertag UK #17 - Dubbledge

I swear this series gets better with every addition to the chain.  For me, Dubbledge absolutely smashes this to pieces with his trademark humourous bars and delivery style.  It's gonna be hard to top but clock the vid to see who's up next...

The FRMX #2 - Yungun

Hot on the heels of Volume 1, Essa's back with the second installment of his FRMX series.  Another free download, it's 5 tracks of fire; nothing short of what you'd expect from Yungun.  You should know the deal by now - http://yungun.bandcamp.com/album/frmx2

Epic Dreamers (Remix) - Rizzle Kicks

The title explains it perfectly; this track is well and truly epic!  Accompanying the release of their latest single "Dreamers", Jordan & Harley aka Rizzle Kicks have enlisted the help of Professor Green, Ed Sheeran, Hines, Dr. Syntax and Orifice Vulgatron for the remix.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention they've somehow managed to get PHAROAHE MONCH and CHALI 2NA to bless the beat as well. A co-sign from those two is a massive look for RK. Check the track below and make sure you head to http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/dreamers-remixes-ep/id547615083 and cop that ish...

Bad Influence - Ramson Badbonez

A bit of a Wordplay exclusive for you peeps.  It doesn't drop for almost another month but it's good to have the hook up!  I still can't get my head around the fact that this guy's been dropping material left, right and centre for a good five years or so but this is his "debut album".  Either way its dope! Peep the review - http://www.wordplaymagazine.com/2012/07/uncategorized/ramson-badbonez-bad-influence/

The FRMX EP - Yungun & Mr. Thing

A five-track freebie from one of the sickest tag-teams around.  A mix of tracks from their brilliant "Grown Man Business" and a couple from Yungun's "Jack The World", they offer up an alternative sound to some classic material.  It doesn't cost anything so get involved...

Life In A Day - Verb T

Taken from the "More Dynamite EP" that dropped a couple of months back, Verb T's got some new visuals for one of the highlight tracks, "Life In A Day".  Brief but a banger...

Realisation - Mr. Boss ft Fliptrix & Verb T

Taken from the forthcoming "The Landing Pt.2", Mr. Boss enlists the lyrical talents of Fliptrix and Verb T for this laid back, head nodder.  High Focus are killing everything right now so you know it's gonna bang before you even play it.  Make sure you press play though...

Pre order "The Landing Pt.2" here - http://mrboss.bandcamp.com/album/the-landing-part-ii
