Mystro - Rapper Tag UK #1

Hoochinoo and Dfacer team up with 360 for a new series called Rapper Tag, which will see a wide range of the UK's best rappers spitting a verse/freestyle before tagging in another fellow rapper. One of my favourite MCs, Mystro kicks off the series with a bang and tags in another super talented rapper; Ransom Badbonez. If all the rappers get involved and don't let the team down, this could be a pretty special project...

Evidence - The Red Carpet (Feat. Raekwon & Ras Kass)

Produced by The Alchemist, here is one of my favourite tracks from Evidence's sophmore album, which is set to be released on September 27th. Everyone knows there are some huge albums being released on the 27th, and Evidence won't be at the top of most people's lists, but this is a superb album, and without doubt one of the most impressive Hip-Hop releases of the year. Great subject matters, massive features, big rhymes and flawless production. Do yourself a favour, and pre-order NOW!

Sway - Still Speedin'

Here is the lead single from Sway's third studio album, The Deliverence, which is finally set to be released later this year. Big bars, an incredibly unique sample and a flow that not many can match = classic Sway. Versions with Kano and an undisclosed major US feature are dropping very soon. H'exciting.

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

A-Trak - Mehdi Forever

Earlier today, A-Trak took to his Facebook page and posted an article, Mehdi Forever, in loving memory of his late friend and fellow DJ/Producer, Mehdi Favéris-Essadi. Below you will find an exert, and HERE you can read the heart-wrenching piece in full, which provides an incredible insight into the lives of one of the most inspiring and loved people in music. Amazing stuff.

"How can I imagine life without Mehdi? It’s a question I never thought I would have to ask myself. Mehdi was without a doubt like a brother to me, a friend well beyond our music ties, a kindred spirit and someone who played an irreplaceable and constant role in my life. In the days since his passing I’ve been reflecting a lot on our friendship and felt the need to write down my thoughts. Here goes..."
