Mikill Pane - Kings

Here is my favourite track from Mikill Pane's forthcoming EP, The Morris Dancer, which is set to be released February 13th and is the final release before his debut album 'Blame Miss Barclay' drops later this year. 'Kings' is another piece of glitchy Electro-infused Hip-Hop, which is a sound that Mr. Pane has now perfected and made his own - it's like a cross between Hot Chip and Slick Rick, which can only be a winning formula. Don't forget that the release will be supported with a free launch party at The Book Club, East London on 25th January. Stream the EP in full HERE.

Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky

Now it's very rare you'll find me posting something that I don't like, but sometimes something is so bad that it's good/funny. This is the latest single from South African freak-rap crew Die Antwoord's new album, TEN$ION, which will be released on February 7th. The track is lead by Yo-Landi, with a bizarre verse during the mid-section from Ninja. Weird, just really really weird.

Abandoman, the main support act for Ed Sheeran's current UK tour, make a visit to Illegal Jacks in Edinburgh to drop a freestyle about all things Burrito-based. Genius, can't wait to see them perform tomorrow night.

Akira The Don - Nothing Lasts Forever (Feat. Envy) (Video)

Some sick visuals for the latest single to be lifted from Akira The Don's sophmore album, The Life Equation, which was released earlier this year. A ridiculously cool guy, with one of the most creative minds in music. Get your copy HERE and follow Akira on Twitter HERE.

Nappy Roots - Give Me A Sign (Feat. Rashan)

Nappy Roots is an American alternative Southern Rap quintet (now a quartet) that originated in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1995 and is best known for its hit single, Anwaw. Their new album, Nappy Dot Org, is pretty average on the whole, but this track is sick and opitimises everything that is positive about the dirty South scene.

Professor Green - DPMO

AH YEAH, here is a new piece from Professor Green's forthcoming sophmore album, At Your Inconvenience. After hearing the title track, the lead single, and now this, it's safe to say I'm very excited for this release. Pre-order the single HERE (Oct 23rd) and the album HERE (Oct 31st).

Dionne Bromfield - Ouch (Demons Never Die Mix) (Feat. Mz Bratt)

Official visuals for the lead single from the forthcoming horror film 'Demons Never Die', which is directed by Arjun Rose and produced by Idris Elba. A cool video for a sick track, and with music from Jessie J, Devlin, Ellie Goulding and Rizzle Kicks expected to be on the soundtrack, this is definitely one to look out for.

Single Release: 17th October
Film Release: 28th October

RD - Otis (Freestyle)

Possibly the most freestyled-over track of all-time gets the once over courtesy of girl group RD - something a little different, and I like it. They remind me of a British/modern day Blaque. You can pre-order their new single HERE.
