High Focus member Dirty Dike does his thing over Biggie's classic 'Ten Crack Commandments'. Watched this too many times today.
The annual Dilla nights are fast approaching us, with Manchester set to take place on February 1st and London on February 3rd. Both nights will be packed full of DJ sets and guest appearances from people who were touched by Jay Dee's music, or by those who were lucky enough to know him personally. Full info and tickets after the jump - Hip-Hop heads, do not miss.
Kensaye with a trippy Hip-Hop remix of Ellie Goulding's hit single 'Lights', which is available as a free download in the player below. Perfect for the cold starry nights we've got coming up in January.
Last month I was introduced to a Hip-Hop crew from San Francisco called Y Not Flow, by a good friend of mine, Andy Sheldrake. Although I'd never heard their work before, I was blown away by their style, presence on the mic & raw talent from the moment I clicked play on their incredible 2011 mixtape 'Welcome To H.E.L.L. (Hears Every Last Lyric)'. Nothing about their music conforms to the norm and has a distinctive 90s old skool flavour to it, which is very reminiscent of groups such as Black Sheep, Brand Nubian & the whole Native Tongues posse. Another man who's fallen in love with their work is singer/songwriter David Stewart, who has decided to do a remix of 'Bonfires & Seashells', which is being streamed exclusively here for the next few days and is available for free download in the player below. David keeps the original vibe of the track intact, but adds his own unique style, with a brand new hook/chorus that sounds like an infectious piece of Swing from the 60s. On the surface YNF & David couldn't be further apart, but they have come together to bring us a completely fresh piece of music to bump; so hit the jump, click play/download and enjoy. Big year ahead for both acts.
UK rapper Dr Syntax features on the new single from The Mouse Outfit, which makes for a wonderfully effortless piece of Jazz-infused Hip-Hop. One of the freshest pieces of music that I've heard for some time.
Some new visuals for the latest single to be lifted from Fliptrix's new album 'The Road To The Interdimensional Piff Highway'. His work rate is second to the none, and the material is flawless.
Giggs & Wretch 32, two of the UK's Rap heavweights, team up for a brand new track called 'Cool Nuh', with the video being premiered on Grime Daily earlier tonight. Both of them killed it, and both have a monster 2013 ahead of themselves.
One man aiming to hit the ground running in 2013 is Mikill Pane, who today had his new single premiered on Huw Stephens' show, which is the lead single from his highly anticipated debut album 'Blame Miss Barclay'. Without doubt the album that I'm most excited for this year.
Produced by Black Einstein, here is Mystro's UK Rap Up 2012, which is his annual summary of the year's news and highlights. Lyrical monster, video coming soon.
