Enlish - Come On (Prod. Wizard) Free Download

Hailing from about as south of the UK as you can get before dropping off of Land's End (literally), Enlish (AKA Big Dave) left the shores of Cornwall for the shores of Brighton after smashing up the local Hip Hop scene after six or so years of killing shows on the circuit as both an MC and a DJ. 5 years in Brighton, 3 mixtapes, an EP (all received to critical acclaim), numerous guest appearances with the likes of his crew - mates Dr Syntax & Stig Of The Dump on their debut albums and a trip around the world later, Enlish is finally ready to drop his debut single 'Arrogance Is Bliss' on F.U. Music. Produced by Ido and featuring Sean Price (Boot Camp Click), Stig Of The Dump (Lewis Recordings/F.U. Music) and DJ Manipulate (Nausecorps/G.O.D.) on the cuts, the song does exactly what it says on the tin. The imminent release of this single will be quickly followed up with not one, but two LPs dropping simultaneously, 'Cold Lazarus' and 'Rap Ain't Real, My Life Is Real'.

Having been recognised initially for his quick wit, comedic raps and freestyle ability that has seen him blaze trails through opponents in rhyme battles since 1999 right up to the present day, plus a natural charisma that has resulted in his hosting many renowned and successful Hip Hop nights, it was simply a matter of time before Enlish made the transition from live performance and battling to the release of a full length, original project. Having shared stages with many luminaries from the world of Hip Hop, beginning at the age of 15 with Cutmaster Swift, the list includes names such as Jehst, Rodney P & Skitz, Taskforce, Phi Life Cypher, Klashnekoff, Foreign Beggars, Tim Westwood, DJ Format, DJ Yoda, People Under The Stairs, Akil (Jurassic 5), Supernatural, Guru (Gangstarr, RIP), Raekwon (Wu Tang Clan), Inspectah Deck (Wu Tang Clan) and The Clipse to name but a few.

More recently you may have seen or heard of him tearing shows up and down the country as a proud member of TEAM HATE, acting as hype man for Stig Of The Dump with DJ Manipulate controlling things behind the decks.

Now, however, is the time for Enlish's music to speak for itself. Both LPs still retain the comedic essence, hard hitting punchlines and braggadocios, substance abusing capers that dedicated listeners already know and love, but with an added twist, with certain tracks showcasing Enlish's deeper, more reflective and introspective views on life.

Also known for writing a popular blog that is gaining new followers day by day, you can keep up to date on all of Enlish's comings and goings, opinions, hangovers, fashion tips, drunken anecdotes and of course music by visiting http://rapaintreallyreal.blogspot.com/. For all previous releases, available for free download or preview, please visit http://enlish.bandcamp.com/.

'Arrogance Is Bliss, followed by 'Cold Lazarus' and 'Rap Ain't Real, My Life Is Real' will be available very soon on F.U. Music. Please contact enlish@gmail.com for any further information.

Beyond The Interface Vol​.​1 by Noize Thievery (Free Download)

Belfast producer Noize Thievery drops a new project full of his trademark bangers and featuring himself on mic duties.
With soulful samples and hard drums this is one for the real heads,my personal favourite had to be Divided Kingdom with its soaring strings.
Its a free download from his bandcamp page and hard copies are available from the man himself for £5.
Mixed and mastered by hiphop production heavyweight Chemo, its obvious we'll be hearing more from Noize Thievery including production on Cyrus Malachi's up coming album.

Tom Caruana - Okayplayer The Bollywood Remake (free download)

Even more freeness from Tom Caruana, and this is probably the best of the lot. Only Bollywood samples are used as he remixes a whole bunch of classics:

As if all of that wasn't enough, there is also a "Deleted Scenes" release, which features another 20 odd remixes that didn't make the cut, including tracks like Lupe's Kick Push, and The Roots' Get Busy. Aaaaaand, the instrumentals are available as well. And it's free. Can't say fairer than that.

If you are thinking that this sounds a bit gimicky, and you're not going to bother, think again. TC is nice with the beats, and this isn't some cheap-as-chips blends mash-up. Download here:

While you're at it, download his recent 5 part remix series, Rough Versions as well:

Sonny Jim - The Purple Patch (Part 4) & The Purple Patch EP

Sonny Jim drops the final instalment of his Purple Patch series. You should know the deal by now, no hook straight rhyming. This time Jim goes in over Apatight's headnodder for 4 and a half minutes.

All 4 parts are now available to download from Jim's bandcamp page. Slightly pointlessly, the release contains dirty and clean versions of the 4 tracks. I'd thought that the instrumentals were going to be included, but apparently not... Anyway, this is dope, several hundered bars (probably), 4 banging beats, go cop...

Left Step Band

Left Step Band - Leave It by Nikolai Jones

London group Left Step Band are readying themeselves for a big promo push this year that will hopefully earn them some mainstream success and critical acclaim. The group consists of Producer Nikolai, MC Eff le Ref, Bassist Zac and DJ Dev who is also Radio 1's early morning DJ. Drawing from years of experiance and a left field approach to the typical hip hop formula LSB deliver a sound unlike anything youve heard before; soulfull hooks collide with ska riffs and hood vernaculer. LSB have a couple of tracks on their soundcloud you can visit them HERE and some videos on their youtube channel HERE capturing the groups eclectic sounds and boisterous live performance. While I have little news on the bands forthcoming releases you can get a good idea of what to expect from the promising quartet. You can buy there digital EP 'Rebels Of The Frontline' from itunes, Amazon and many other digital retailers.

Pharoahe Monch - Black Hand Side feat. Styles P & Phonte (audio)

Smoothed out track taken from Monch's highly anticipated W.A.R. album, that is dropping soon. This is produced by Mike Loe, and features a verse from Styles P, but sadly just a hook from Phonte, has he given up spitting completely these days?

I was underwhelmed by Monch's last album, and felt it wasn't really worth all the pushbacks, and pre-release hype. This is an early indication that he is hopefully about to set the record straight.

BVA MC - EP, out now.

BVA MC of the Three Amigos has dropped his debut solo EP, imaginatively titled "EP"... All bar one track is produced by Naive, who leaves lots of crackle in some of the samples. Both the download, and CD versions are now available for a fiver.

Wretch 32 - Unorthodox (video)

The Stone Roses sample on this track is near on guaranteed to get stuck in your head, with the hook not too far behind... No doubt this was made with airplay in mind, but that doesn't have to mean a tune can't be enjoyable.

Tenchoo vs Big Kannon Dont Flop BITW 4

watch this battle.....its dope. More of Blood In The Water part 4 coming soon....watch the trailer HERE for more clips.

Cons - Pain And Misery

New track here from 'The Colony' member Conspicuous The Coroner who now goes under the name 'Cons'.

The track is called Pain and Misery and is taken from his up coming 3rd EP called 'June Bug' set to be released June 6.

I'm feeling this one a lot. The beat is very nice and Cons drops intelligent grown man bars. Big shout to Shears on production.

Big K.R.I.T. - Dreamin (free download)

First single from Big K.R.I.T.'s upcoming album. Many in the know have suggested that the Mississippi native is 'the next big thing' from the other side of the pond. Definitely not the ignorant southern MC of stereotype, K.R.I.T. is nice with the beats and rhymes, and this track is as smooth as they come.
