“Time to form a rebel alliance and slay Goliath”
In the comments, a guy with the remarkable name of Solid Stalin disses me for hating on UK hip-hop. And he has a point; I’ve been listening to some Klashnekoff recently, who is fucking great, a million miles away from the Old School nonsense that seemed to dominate the UK rap scene when I last checked it out (or maybe that was just the Cambridge rap scene?). Check out ‘Freedom Fighters’ in particular.
Conscious grime, meanwhile, courtesy of DJ Lioness, G Double E with ‘Harmony’ (about 15 minutes in). That set has also has a couple of cracking tracks from DaVinChe; I particularly like the hardcore-esque flourishes on ‘Pryin’. Speaking of which, it’s good to see Ruff Sqwad keeping an old happy hardcore tradition alive with their remix of ‘Died in your arms tonight’ (via).
You know, I swear when I was in town today I heard someone with Drinking Bear as their ringtone, but that surely can’t be true?
