SciFi Stu 'From the Heaviest Heart To The Coldest Soul' (Album Sampler)

SciFi Stu, a jazz, hip hop and soul producer from Edinburgh in Scotland comes with a release that wouldnt of been out of place as a Delicious Vinyl release,it has that soulful,jazzy feel to it but with a modern edge. I heard him recently on american website the hip hop head dot net and i was shocked to find out he was scottish,i assumed he was american,its pleasing to know scotland represents once again.
Anyway the album features Vast Aire,Count Bass D and Remarkable Mayor(you'll be hearing a lot from them soon,well worth checking out) and many more. You can download the sampler here and trust me then you'll want to go straight to iTunes and get it.

Stanley Odd - The Oddyssey (Video & Free Download)

New video from Scotland's Stanley Odd. Basically bringing some Rap-Up style lyrics about the year that has just passed, over a trademark electric guitar and bass backing track. The video is little pedestrian, but the tune is dope. I wonder whether Mystro will be able to top it when he drops the UK 2010 Rap Up...

If you're feeling the track, download it for free from their Bandcamp page:

Scotland Standup Mixtape Volume 3

This mixtape was released a while back for free download and is still doing the rounds, the last in the series of mixtapes and in my opinion the best one, featuring a whole host of talent from Scotland.

Get It Here

Wardie Burns & UV Beatz

Taken from the full length album OOR WARDIE available: Here

One if the most anticipated albums in the History of Scottish Hip Hop and sure to gain recognition from across the globe, it's the debut long player from Wardie Burns and UvBeatz - Oor Wardie.
The album will take you through the many facets of Wardie's lyrical dexterity showcasing a wide variety of styles and subject matter, all complemented by UvBeatz stunning production. From the very clever skits that will have you laughing out loud to the typical raw lyrics and heavy delivery, this one is not to be missed for hip hop fans.
The album is 21 tracks deep and features artists such as Werd, Madhat McGore, Steg G, Blasfima Sinna and Becca Starr. The albums topics range from hardcore tracks like Burgh Murderer to the heartfelt like Mummys Boy, taking the listeners deep into the mind of Oor Wardie aka Wardie Burns. Sometimes pushing the boundaries of political correctness and what should be said on records, to putting his true inner out there for all to see.

'Vulgar Eloquence' ft. Craig G - Steg G (video)

Real lyrics from Steg G ("There's no fans anymore, everybody's selling it) over a banging, semi-futuristic beat from Scotland's Steg G ("This production here's a powercut...This is what Hip Hop's supposed to sound like"). Look out for the album 'Vulgar Eloquence' coming out very soon on Powercut Productions.

'Stuck Behind The Lookin Glass' - Madhat McGore (album review)

Scotland are coming thick and fast now with Hip Hop releases and if you want to keep more up to date than I can possibly keep you then I'd totally recommend that you get over to the Scotland Stand-Up blog.

Madhat McGore, is as his name might suggest, one of Scotland's gullier rappers - a product of his enviroment maybe - Scotland's not all Lochs, castles and glens you know. Tracks like 'Young Man (Mad Mind)' and 'Nothin's Ever What You Expect' may sound a bit gloomy and depressing, and to some extent they are, but they're still pretty dope although it may spoil a good mood. Scottish history, everyday life and other usual Hip Hop themes make up the content. The use of certain offensive words would ideally, be cut down (particularly the 'c' word).

The beats come from a wide variety of producers including Sky Scraper Beats, Babble-On Beats, ShogunW, Chuck, Madhat, Dave Gunn, UV Beatz and Bill Breaks. 'Take A Look About', produced by UV Beatz is forward thinking and pretty grimey, 'Naughty Eyes' is pure jauntiness, 'Next Of Kin' is the slowest and most Scottish Hip Hop track I've ever heard wheras other tracks are just straight up headnod Hip Hop - the beats are very varied and that's a good thing.

Features come from the tight knit Scottish family - Riddlah, Werd, Wardie Burns, Blasfima Sinna, Nity Gritz, Dave Gunn, Blythe and Holmes all feature on vocals. Music Comes First Records is the label y'all.
