Wu Tang Meets Indie Culture Vol. 2 - ENTER THE DUBSTEP


Stumbled across this by accident, it's apparently set for release November 10. Click here and scroll down for previews, I'm listening as I write and oh man is it heavy.
Press release:
“As Vol. 1 sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically, the famously large, loyal and diverse fan-base of the Wu-Tang to the burgeoning world of underground hip-hop, so Vol. 2 seeks to expose another untapped resource of underground talent, skill and artistry to this very same avid and intrepid fan-base.

The project serves a double purpose as well: many of the pioneers and practitioners (DJ’s and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the immediacy of Wu-Tang’s sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape an emerging artform that hadn’t yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

This groundbreaking album is trail-blazing the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, with stomach-pounding, bass-thumping guttural beats, and gully, gritty and grimy lyrics that break into the next decade in the chapters of each respective genre’s history.”

19 tracks detailing the best work of the crew that brought us Wiley and Dizzee Rascal, none other than the legendary Roll Deep Entourage. This is probably old news for grime heads but worth blogging still! Cop the digital release here.

Foreign beggars & Noisia - Contact



First single from the forthcoming United Colours of Beggattron to be released on the 19th of this month. Production by Noisia, who are twisted trust me, just wait till it gets to the end of the track and they transorm it into some messy drum n bass.

Buggsy - Gully Side Acapella

I've finally found something new to show for one of the most underrated MCs in the game. You might compare him to some of the skippier, more technical spitters out there but really there's nobody I'm aware of who flows like this. Check out the myspace here. Apparently the Emancipation EP is a lot but I'm having some trouble tracking it down, any help would be appreciated.

This is where I first heard him, featuring on the b-side of Fuda Guy's "Head Gone" released last year, production from the legendary fellow Bristonian Joker.
