Nobody Fault But Mine

Kobi Onyame is a Ghanaian/UK hip-hop producer/artist. His latest LP, Green Green Grasses, is set to be released April 11th on iTunes. Lyrically and style wise he brings something completely unique to the table and this track which features the beautiful Emeli Sande showcases everything that he’s about. The amazing album artwork is by legendary Edinburgh based graffiti artist Elf. If you like this, then go and support an incredibly talented independent artist on Monday.

Overstanding x Ocean Of Pain

Here are two new tracks taken from two different upcoming Cold Busted projects. First up is Overstanding by Brandon Bass that will feature on a 21 track LP called Stone Cold Busted 2, which is out June 22nd and includes lots of delicious stuff from pretty much every member of the CB team. Listen to what is said on this - it’s very interesting, and very true.

Next up is another exceptional piece of Trip-Hop, which is taken from Astro Raph’s upcoming EP, I Can Touch The Stars, which will be available on May 11th. This label never ceases to amaze me. Both of these releases are a must buy for me.

Make Some Noise

The first single from Beastie Boys’ upcoming 8th studio album, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, which is scheduled for a May release. This piece of organ-driven funk is the best thing I’ve heard from them for years and years - reminds me of their glory days. Good to have the Boys back.

Jehst Is Definitely My Postman

Visuals for a new Jehst track, with a ridiculous amount of very clever cameos. One of the best videos of 2011 so far - The Return Of The Drifter and Falling Down are still both classics.

Dot Rotten - Normal Human Being

Visuals for a brilliant new track from Dot Rotten. I wish he would leave the pathetic Wiley ‘beef’ alone and concentrate on making quality music, like this. Very impressive.

Heart Is A Miracle

One of my favourite tracks from Ty’s 2010 album, Special Kind Of Fool, has been given a Starkey influenced refix by Mr. Martelo - it was meant for a mixtape idea that he decided to scrap. This is very sick.

Dog Shit

Some new Mobb Deep, which is once again produced by Alchemist, and features Mr. NaSir Jones. Feels like we’ve gone back to ‘94 on this one. Prodigy & Havoc mean business again.
