'The Noughties (2000-2009)' - Dan Bull (video+free download)
Check Dan's take on world affairs over the last 10 years - not bad! Download the mp3 here.
Jack Flash 24 - Week 3
More Mr. Flash over 'Survival Skills' by Buckshot and KRS One - 24 bars to be precise. Not his best - some clever rhymes but some weak, resorting-to-cliches subject matter.
Free Downloads from SonnyJim & Kelakovski, Genesis Elijah, Sam Khan, JPMD, Plan B, Deadly Hunta, DPF & Yogi
Genesis Elijah - 'Power' (produced by Beezwax)
Taken from the forthcoming 'Civil Unrest' EP from Genesis Elijah and producer Beezwax. This is only gonna be free on Bandcamp for a limited time only so get over there now!
SonnyJim - 'The Purple Patch' (produced by Kelakovski)
Look out for more music coming soon from SonnyJim in 2010 with artists such as Illmind, Marco Polo, M-Phazes, Prince Po, AG and J-Zone. Also, SonnyJim's 'Trading Standards' remix project dropping in March 2010 with exclusive remixes by Lotek Hifi, Kosyne Jon Phonics and more.
Sam Kahn - 'Fall Back'
Modern sounding but I'm feeling the lyricism. Check the video too at youtube.
JPMD - 'So Hard'
This one is a new track fresh out of the cooker for 'Know What Time Rhyme 'N' Grind Vol 2'. It features Angry, Ramboss, Grievz and Big Dange. To find out more hit up these places: www.myspace.com/jahstproduction, www.myspace.com/darealrambossneckle and www.twitter.com/jpmd_uk.
Plan B - 'Welcome To Hell'
New direction for this lad, see what you think.
Chronic Redeye - 'Stand Up' ft. Deadly Hunta, DPF & Lyrical T
Taken from 'Ruffneck Intellect Volume One' - "a mixed CD that is set to drag listeners into a realm where no amount of ice or big rims can save the weak from getting crushed under the weight of some real skills. The criteria for the ‘Ruffneck Intellect’ mix series is simple; it’s got to bump hard for the sound systems and it’s got to have depth and lyrical content that goes beyond the standard ignorance that gets peddled by many major labels today. This is real music, this is Hip-Hop and this is something fresh!"
Yogi - 'Hidden Chapter'
Dope as usual Hip Hop from the Midlands.

'Young Forever' - Stylah (free download)
Stylah does the explaining during the intro, have a listen, have a download:
'2009 UK Rap Up' - Mystro (free download)
Here's Mystro's version of Skillz's yearly overview. Mys takes the UK angle and chats about things that have been going on in our country. If you wanna hear the original just search for it, all the the other blogs have it.
Jack Flash 24 - Week 2
Jack Flash is back again for the very second time (out of 24). Rhymes over a Charles Hamilton beat on a 2009 reflection tip.
'Beware' ft. Arfa Tunn - Dweller (video)
Like Jason and The Argonauts? Like Hip Hop? watch Dweller's latest concoction then. It's taken from his forthcoming mixtape 'Covered Up'.
'Jonathon's Beats and Pieces' - Jon Phonics (free download)
Jon Phonics has put together a bit of a mixtape for your ears in 2010. It's kind of a snippet mix a la J Dilla and you can check out a whole host of the tracks here on youtube before you use up some minutes downloading the thing for free. It's full of squelchy and fairly wonky Hip Hop inlcuding the strangely titled track above which apparently features YNR newbie Jyager - holla if you hear him because I can't!
'The Uprising' - Remus (Out Now)
UK Hip Hop and Grime flavours from the son of Task Force MC Farma G. Remus, who has been heard on the 'MFTC' series of mixtapes and even on an 'On The Radar' release, has just dropped 'The Uprising' which is available at Suspect Packages for only £4.99. Check this youtube channel for some more of the tracks - big up Specktakool.
