Yungun/DJ MK - UK Hip Hop History Dub (FREE D/L)

What can you say about Yungun? This man is a national treasure. Someone get him a motherfucking OBE asap. From humble beginnings MCing on pirate radio station 'Parlay' in North London during the mid-1990s, to rhyming in the park with MI5, Ricochet (UniSols) and a very close personal friend of his (and mine), Devise (what up D!), a CRIMINALLY unreleased EP from YG and Dizeaze under the moniker of 'Dupa Styles' (of which I actually have a copy circa 2000 and that you will NEVER hear, moohoohahaha!) complete with beats from the main man Harry Love and all of the relative heartbreak associated with seeing all of your hard work not coming to fruition, Yungun (AKA Essa) never lost faith in his ability and bounced back to drop the now certified classic LP 'The Essance' on Janomi Records in 2004.

The story behind the non-release of the Dupa Styles EP is an interesting story, but not one for me to tell. Maybe someone you know knows. Urban myths, the stuff that legends are made of. Anyways, having dropped 'The Essance' in 2004, Yungun followed it up in 2006 with Grown Man Business, a collaborative project with legendary DJ Mr Thing on Silent Soundz records. Since and during that time, YG has accumulated a laundry list of features to his name, but has not yet released another full length solo project. Why, I hear you ask? Well, I assume it's because he has a life to lead. Nothing more simple than that. I do know for a fact from a certifiable source that Essa has never stopped writing and recording (and he certainly hasn't stopped performing) and is currently sitting on a goldmine of unreleased material. Lets just cross our fingers and hope he shares it with us sometime soon.



Anyway, back in god knows when (a good few years ago, anyway) YG dropped this dub on an old DJ MK mixtape. I'm not entirely sure what the official name of the track is, but I named it 'UK Hip Hop History' in my itunes so for the purposes of this post, that's what we'll call it. Basically, download it. Listen to it. The whole thing is amazing, name dropping a lot of influential and also forgotten-about cats on the scene, to referencing the riot that occurred when Busta Rhymes flopped at the forum show in the late 90's, to Ol' Dirty turning up dolo (and drunk) to a supposed full Wu Tang show and getting booed off stage.

"It wasn't all glamour and glitz, it wasn't stardom, it started with the breakers and writers in Covent Garden"

"I used to listen to Skinnyman, Rodney P and Blak Twang and MCD and think Damn, I wanna rap man"

"They invented the tube train in dungeon town, so best believe its all about the London Underground"


Also, if you're not familiar with Yungun & Devise (shame on you), but even if you are, peep these joints below if you want to hear some real, honest Hip Hop music.

We look forward to your return Essa,

Yours sincerely,

Hip Hop. 1.

Thats What Eye See #9 - RACISM (1)

*Disclaimer - I am not a racist in any way, shape or form. I despise racism and prejudice. This is Irony.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE. This is from when Jimmy Hatetank & I did a gig in Bulgaria a couple years back. Had to get a flick of this shit.

Arrogance Is Bliss/Brain Basher RELEASE DATE

My debut single, 'Arrogance Is Bliss' Featuring Sean Price, Stig Of The Dump and DJ Manipulate will be OFFICIALLY dropping on the 23rd Of April, taken from the forthcoming 'Cold Lazarus' LP.

The single itself will be available through itunes, Amazon etc.

The 'Deluxe Edition' will be available on the same date, exclusively through my bandcamp. This Deluxe Edition will not only include the instrumental for 'Arrogance' but will also include the first single from the 'Rap Ain't Real, My Life Is Real' LP, entitled 'Brain Basher', produced by Scizzahz. The 4 track package will obviously be priced slightly higher than the single track on itunes, but I can guarantee you more bang for your buck, or no money back (!).

The details haven't been finalised as yet, but the plan is that by purchasing the Deluxe Edition you will also receive an EXTRA SPECIAL gift by way of a thank you from me to you.

Put the date in your diary. All support will be greatly appreciated.

I'M OUT....

First to this



And then to this -

I'll be back tomorrow, with a terrible hangover no doubt.

TFI Friday.

POLITICS AND BULLSHIT

As a general rule I tend to avoid discussing 3 things, which are race, religion and politics. They are the 3 easiest ways to insult someone, especially in the pub. However, I have nothing to hide when I say I dislike the Conservative party immensely, always have done, always will do. Why? Never mind about that. My reasons are my own.

A reason why you should dislike the Tories is because David 'Twat' Cameron has drawn up plans to scrap the NHS, meaning NO FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ANYONE IN THE UK. I believe that is simply not acceptable, and if you feel the same way, please take just 1 minute of your day to sign the petition below, otherwise we'll all be dying from broken fingers and the common cold. Real talk.

#Prayforjapan

My brother and his wiz both live in Japan, but thankfully have been unaffected by the terrible disaster that has occurred.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of all of the tragedies that seem to happening on a near weekly basis all over the world. I don't believe Mother Nature is going to destroy us all in 2012, but I reckon a combination of Mother Nature and mankind's inherent destructive tendencies will probably see us all extinct within the next couple hundred of years. Dark Times.

And now back to your normally scheduled program.

The Mystery Of The Vanishing Music (Free D/L)
