Breaking News: Seems All Is Not Well In The Phi-Life Cypher Camp.
November 11, 2012
Seems like any hope for future music from the duo of Si-Philli and Life aka Phi-Life Cypher could well be a lost cause if recent twitter comments from Life are to be believed. Its a shame. These guys have been around for years, and whilst I haven’t always been the most ardent fan of everything Luton’s finest have released, they definitely deserve a place in the pantheon of UK Hip Hop with their releases on DJ Vadim’s Jazz Fudge label as well as Brighton based Zebra Traffic during the early 2000′s. Sad to see. Hopefully there is some way these two can settle their differences, but these comments definitely aren’t pulling any punches.

1000 Posts and Still Runnin’
October 19, 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just passed the 1000 post barrier. Not entirely sure even I expected us to make it this far, but we are, and we’re still smashing things. This little Brighton based music blog is still seeing a steady increase in traffic on a regular basis, and we’re still committed to bringing you the best whether its local, from the rest of the UK, or further afield.
And we’re still only just over a year old. To our regular readers, thank you for your continued support. It’s most definitely appreciated. Keep sending those links to stuff I might have missed, or might be interested in. If you want to write for us, drop us a line and let me know what you wanna bring to the table.
One love

RIP Jake Crockett aka Iris
August 28, 2011
So gutted right now. One of the Massive Warriors is no longer with us, and I’m feeling pretty emotional. Since I got back from Australia, I haven’t seen Jake enough, and when I got a call yesterday I really didn’t know what to say. It was kind of cathartic to see everyone that knew him well and talk about the great memories that we all shared from spending time with him.
I’ve got many vivid memories of spending time with Jake, and life will be worse off with him not being around any more. My thoughts and sympathy go out to his family, and everyone that knew, or ever came into contact with him, both friends and musical collaborators.
In Jake aka Iris, we had one of the finest, most original voices to ever light up the Brighton Hip Hop scene, and through his music, we are so lucky to have a lasting reminder of everything the little angry man stood for and was a part of. We lost a great man this week, and nothing I can say now can ever fully verbalise exactly how I feel.
Jake, if you are listening somewhere, the guys had a great reunion last night. We relived so many memories and imagined how much you’d have been frustrated at us catching feelings about the whole thing. You were something the the Brighton scene has been severely short of in recent years. Someone who wasn’t afraid to voice their opinion and tell a cunt he’s a cunt. There are a lot of people who are gonna miss you. Big love little homie.
