If you like ridiculously high budget videos which don’t bear any obvious relation to the track they’re written for, then this new one from Jay and Yeezy will be right up your tree lined mile long driveway. Its like the London riots with lazers.

I’ve been using the high tech powers of Google to try and find out what the deal is with this beef between Lil’ Wayne/Drake and Pusha T, but as far as I can see its all escalated over a few digs at each other’s fashion sense. Whatever it’s over, I’m not adverse to one of my favourite emcees letting the red mist come down and taking a few lyrical pop shots at a pre meditated target. Apparently, this one’s already got a Lil’ Wayne response, but you know what, I really can’t be arsed trying to find it.

Booda French has put his new Ventolin EP up for download on a name-your-price tip. Its a dope project as you will well know if you’ve heard the two singles, 61 Grace and Full Time. Definitely worth getting your hands on. Throw the dude a couple of quids if you’re feeling flush as well as the EP is definitely better than a lot of one’s you’d have to splash cash on.

I think Dabbla must have got out of the wrong side of the bed when he wrote this one. Big new track from LDZ.

Since the sun has finally decided to show its face on the South Coast, I thought it was time to release this track into the wild. One to cop heatstroke to. The download link will come soon. I really want to film a video to this one. Any film makers in and around the 273, get in touch!

Quakers are a 35 strong Hip Hop collective down with Stones Throw. They’ve got a ridiculously sized 41 track album out now, you can cop that HERE, and this track with Guilty Simpson and MED is a brass band banger. Bigness.

Don’t know a lot about Ab Soul other than this one track of his, Mayday, keeps popping up repeatedly on my iPhone when its on shuffle. The Danny Brown hype machine on the other hand keeps rolling along steadily. The duo’s voices on this track definitely complement each others though. Good shit.
