'Struggla' ft. Rodney P, Kardinal Offishal & Skibadee - Skitz (free download)

A couple of weeks ago we dropped the info on the new Skitz album. Well, now there are leaks so you can actually check out some of the big tracks yourself:

'Born Inna System' featuring Buggsy has been knocking around for a few days (and has been officially leaked now) and there's also a Prime Cuts Remix that you can get too.

The latest to drop (and I might just be the first to leak it) is 'Struggla' featuring Rodney P, Kardinal Offishal and Skibadee. Along with that there is an Engine-Earz remix. I'm a big fan of anything Rodney P's on and this one doesn't disappoint as he gets back with his old partner in crime and two fellow patois-spitting MCs. Nice up.

'Aquarius' - Mystro (video)

Great track taken from Mystro's 'F.D.T.' EP which can be bought now on itunes.

Mystro Investigates: Clay Pigeon Shooting

'Obamanation' - Lowkey (video)

"Is it Obama's nation? Or an abomination? Doesn't make a difference when they bomb your nation"

Whilst I don't agree with all Lowkey's politics, and often am just unsure on what I do think, he writes great lyrics that get people thinking. Check this.

'Gilgamesh II' - Cappo (video)

'Kill 'Em Wit The Flow' ft. Black The Ripper & Little Dee - Skandal (video)

I only really like Skandal's verse on this but the video is pretty entertaining anyway.

'Retro Luv' - Kasha (free download)

'On The Radar' artist Kasha has never been one for conformity. His latest mixtape 'Retro Luv' confirms to nothing or no one. Its subtitle is 'Reinventing the Mixtape' and he really has.

'Retro Luv' features tracks by Kool and the Gang, The Brooklyn, Bronx And Queen

Band, Ralph Tresvant, Anita Baker, En Vogue, Tevin Campbell, Joyce Sims and Dr. Hook amongst others. Kasha takes cues from the originals and lets loose lyrically although he does let each track air out meaning that you get to hear a fair chunk of each of these classic, upbeat (and sometimes slightly cheesy) tunes. This mixtape will make you want more Kasha and it also should inspire you to check out some of the original tracks.

'Retro Luv' is available now (although its Bandcamp release date say August) and it is free!

'Trips on a 303' - Tha 4orce (free download)

Entirely produced on the Boss Dr. Sample SP-303 is Tha 4orce's third and latest LP 'Trips on a 303'. They've decided to make the clean version available for free on the wonderful Bandcamp (can you tell I've been trawling it this morning?). Again, its official release seems to be somewhere in the future - 20th April to be precise.

The album is an honest picture of the inside of Tha 4orce's head and the beats range from high octane crunch to ballad-like swing via classical Baroque. The LP is pretty upbeat extending to rowdy in places - get live to this salute to old school Hip Hop.

Check out Mind The Gap recordings at their website and have a look at Tha 4orce's myspace.

'Scratches' - DJ Slademan & Skriblah Dangogh (free download)

Not sure what the deal is with this but the Bandcamp release date is two days away?!

DJ Slademan has put together a mix of all Terra Firma's most underrated best verses and tracks. Skriblah Dangogh's verses from tracks by M9, Micall Parknsun, Triple Darkness and Terra Firma are brought together to prove that this MC has more than just a few skills. Solo tracks also crop up - mainly ones which have not seen a full release.

Go here to download it now for free.

'Loyalty'/'Gilgamesh II' - Cappo (single review)

Waiting for your copy of Cappo's 'Genghis' to arrive (you should be)? Well why not at least go to Bandcamp and stream the first two tracks to be released from it: 'Loyalty' and 'Gilgamesh II'? If you do fancy splashing out then it's only £1.50 for these two heavy tracks that represent the kind of music you can expect from the 'Genghis' LP - a perfect taster.

If you have not yet ordered the double vinyl LP then time is running out - there were only 200 made and 2 days ago there were only 20 copies left! You can order it here or at Suspect Packages.

Worry not if you miss out, don't like vinyl or are devoid of a turntable; the LP will drop in April as a download, a CD or on a USB stick!

'Before N After' - Blak Twang (free download)

Head over to Bandcamp to download Blak Twang's latest track 'Before N After'. Blak Twang muses over the changes in the music scene, particularly with regards to the internet. Interesting and heavy! Thanks to www.soulculture.co.uk for this tune.

'My Baby' - Tough Touch (free download)

Go to the Tough Touch Productions Bandcamp page to download 'My Baby' for free. 'My Baby' is track 1 on their latest project 'The Big Band Theory' which will be out soon!

'Altered Beasties' - Vulcan (free download)

Fan of the Beastie Boys? Want to know what UK rapper Kashmere is upto at the moment? Go to Bandcamp and download 'Altered Beasties' by Vulcan.

Kashmere is working under his latest alias Vulcan as a producer and the results are dope and these 5 tracks will give you a taste of what this MC turned producer is capable of.

His next foray into remixing the music of famous folks is 'VulcanDoom' which I'm sure you can work out means he'll be remixing the work of MF Doom.
