May 7, 2012Aspects – Yes Please
March 5, 2012
Its been a good few years since the Aspects dropped off the radar, but Bristol’s prodigal sons are back in business. This track’s a slow burner, but the crew still have their unmistakable style after all this time.

Prince Po (@PrincePo) x Large Professor (@PLargePro) – Right 2 Know [VIDEO]
January 16, 2011New music from Prince Po. Glad to know some people are still making that boom bap shit. The concept behind the track is a little derivative *cough* Jadakiss *cough* , but the Large P beat still bangs.

PS: – On a side note, check that old dude in the hood behind Po on the bus in that still above. Looks mad serial killer shady.
Foul Mouth Jerk ft/ The Artifacts – Back Up On The Scene [VIDEO]
November 23, 2010Oh shiiiit…. The Artifacts back on a track together? Niiiice. Big ups to Foul Mouth Jerk, who I know nothing about other than he released another track called Small Town USA with Masta Ace last year. This is pretty slick – a tough verse from El Da Sensei, and a pretty bugged out verse from Tame. Maybe all that time smoking angel dust with Cage is finally taking its toll…

Guilty Pleasures #1: Garden State Greats/Naughty By Nature – Heavy In My Chevy [VIDEO]
November 4, 2010I’m not really sure why I like this, but I do. I haven’t heard much from Naughty By Nature’s Treach for a good few years, but this popped up on my radar tonight and I thought it deserved a post. Not his finest moment by any means, but fuck it. Never heard of the other two rappers on this, but if you’re in one of those ig’nant moods tonight, get this bumping.

Canibus (@CanibusInfinity) – Merchant of Metaphors [DL]
September 8, 2010
Now I’ve never been into Canibus as much as some people I know, but I’ve always known he can be a sick lyricist. My favourite track of his has always been 500 Bars, which I heard on some old DJ Blufoot mixtape a good few years ago. (And yes, it was a real TAPE cassette). Anyways, I just heard this new track he’s dropped, and its on the same steez as that – one long verse of some serious bar-damage – and its dope. You should check this, whether you’re a fan of the man or not.

Rain Stops Play #1
August 29, 2010
Well, this I think is the first time since we started where we haven’t managed to post at least something in 24 little hours. Sorry about that. My excuse is that I’ve been up somewhere near Leicester at the Shambala festival performing with DJ Kormac, and after having had no sleep, waiting at a cold, closed, Market Harborough station for 2 hours from 4am till 6am when my train was due, had to then go to work in the bar till, well, about now.
The festival was a right good laugh though. I’d never heard of this festival, and it was my first proper muddy festival. I can confidently say that grey Timberlands were not the best choice, and I might well invest in a pair of wellingtons if another festival comes along soon. But fuck it, the set with Kormac and the band went down pretty well, and ended up hyping in the Kamikaze tent for Ex-Black Grass’ Carl Faure’s Warrior One crew – even though I had no idea what UK Funky and J-Step were as far as genres of music go.
Anyway, it was a great laugh. I’m off to Denmark this Friday with one half of Barenoize where I’m hyping for a gig on a boat. Should be an interesting few days. Anyway, I promise to be back on the posting-things-of-interest tip tomorrow, so stay tuned.
One love

273 EXCLUSIVE: First Down – Rude Boys Lose (If They Ain’t Rude Enough) Mixtape [FREE DOWNLOAD]
August 5, 2010
One of Brighton’s original and most successful Hip Hop crews, First Down smashed onto the scene with their Jaw Warfare 12″ in 1990, before undergoing a line up change before dropping their World Service LP in ’94. Emcees King Aroe (now massive on the graf scene), Korrekt & Baron Demus brought an uncompromised rawness to the mic booth, alongside production from Bluze and Indian Ropeman and cuts from DJ Hyste, and tracks like Ill Gotten Gains and Let The Battle Begin took no prisoners.
in 2008, the crew reformed briefly with the addition of yours truly, and put together a mixtape which included unreleased, rare and brand new material, but this tape never saw the light of day. Until now. The273.com are proud to be the first to unleash this beast of a mixtape into the world. And remember, rude boys lose if they ain’t rude enough.
Big ups to Ill Gotten Gains High Powered and Soundmakers for getting this shit together
