cop that. It's a UK Illmatic, seriously.
Also check out the "Zulu Beat Mix"
but everything else has been w/ loud drums.
*snicker*
Don't worry about it, I would say that the P Brothers & Lewis Parker are probably the most consistent producers from the UK.
I REALLY don't...
yeah lewis parker had some stuff I really dug (i've always picked up every 12'' I see. hard to catch out in the states)
I'm also reeaaaaaaaallly feeling Ty (especially the last album, straight up hip-hop with all these broken beat influences)
But are you feeling the British Nas?
game the fuck over
MURDEROOOOOIIIII
GAL YA BODY MOVE LIKE A ROLEX RELEASE AND FLEX RELEASE AND FLEX
The QSO remix of 'Learn to be Strong' is pretty spesh.
But so is Rodney P, Jhest, Verb T, Yungun, Asaviour, Mystro, Mical Parkinsun, Kashmere, Last Skeptik, Pedigree Chumps, Diversion Tactics, Dirty Diggers, Lowercase, Kyza, Klashnekoff, Infinite Potential, etc...
Love the UK stuff... It's raw...
P Brothers are pretty damn good, but thier emphasis is definitely on some pretty heavy drums.
And their mix CDs are on point...
hey, what would you recomend that sounds Like Ty and Roots Manuva? You peep Ghosts's LP or the Nostalgia 77 joint?
I haven't heard Nostaglia 77s Octet thing yet. Supposedly more like a live jazz group.
You might like Travis Blaque's two 12" singles...
Produced by some Swedish dudes for a German label, Unique.
I presume you've heard Modaji's new album under the moniker HARVEY LINDO.
That nu-soul, broke beat influence you like... No UK emcees oddly enough.
Hearin' Aid & Up Hygh from Sweden.
You should check for the Dutch label Kindred Spirits. Especially the 'Megaplast EP' by MWSLEE.
And The Politik's 'High Priestess' on Dopeness Galore I reckon you might like. More soul than hip hop.
Omar's new track 'Gimme Sum' on P-Vine from Japan is pretty dope. With Common & Rodney P.
Can't really recall a lot of recent stuff in that style. They are the ones that come to mind.
I loved their contributions to the Sadat X album - and the new 12" with the Money Boss guys is hot.
Zulu Beats is one of the best mixes EVAR. the breaks section alone owns you. Plus, The Roxy commercial had me like that girl on there..."electric boogie popss...es fresco."
P Brothers production sounds just like it should- heavy bronx. i feel you phonics on the drum aspect, i felt that way at first...but they also have this digger's attention to detail which makes the tracks stand out erry rip.
looking forward to getting the LP and the MBP collabilation- although it's different members now i hear.
yes, there are some uk mc's that are tolerable...anyone heard skinnyman's new one?
saw it on a blog...idiot proof?
yeah, there first 3 "Heavy Bronx EP's" are highly recommended...when i went to notts to meet them they turned out to be supernicedudes (we had some issues companywise, but not my fault), but of course proper street too...love their stuff...
who is doing distro for the new 12" in Europe? Anyone in the know? and, it might be a bad thing to ask, but could someone up this zulu beats mix? i completely missed it and i don't think it is available still...anyone interested, i got a sealed copy of "hear no evil" vol.1 somewhere...
big up Nottz and all them...
and on a uk note: i really like sway, that dude is rhyming hisself on the next level...
what you know about skeptik! corin is my boy right there! wicked producer.
what kinda jerkoff name is that ?
Yet i dont think they are actually from there at all.
You mean Yellowman...
is beautiful and everyone here loves it, but it's hard to reach that level of perfection.
Nottingham Bronx mate! And Lewis Parker now resides in NYC and I believe has got a beat on the new Ghostface LP
PM if you want to sell that vol.1 CD as I can't find it anywhere.
Bronx is like "who?" They need to get off that one, it's a bit foolish.
While I understand the troubles of romanticising a certain NYC area when not located in said area, I somehow do think that this "foolishness" is taken to such extremes that they can use that title. Noone fucks with Ivory when it comes to rap records and the fact that they work with BX people like sadat and money boss etc...is not becuase they shelved out alot of money to be down
"this user does not accept private messages"
Exactly, and to my understanding the "Bronx" thing is symbolic of a back to basics philosophy i.e. "Loud drums" etc.
