Leaf Dog - Some People Say
A track which won the top spot in KMAG.CO.UK's best hiphop of 2011. Decent production, and the Dog has a timing and turn of phrase which inspires a nod of the head and a smile. However, what strikes me most potently, is the wave of talent wastage which overcomes me when I endure this track...Yeh, he would likely kick my teeth in, whilst singing so solemnly 'some people say'...but so what, he can go fuck himself and his sisters and his cousins, for the lyrics are wretched...an insulting compliment. Wicked quality sensed in the delivery of lyrics, the timing and the sound is OK. And the beats are fine and dandy, gritty english...as they should be...but for fucks sake, please aim for some depth, beyond the out of hours second hand car dealers graveywards, with many a mong hoodie surrounding you and nodding incoherently, but fearsomely...looks tough, nobody wants to fight them, but other than that????????????????????????????????????,............chance for ART here, I hope mr Leaf Dog makes use of his skill. In more enterprising ways,.,

Jehst - Starting Over

Faster than I had envisioned, a weed of pessimism borne of the stillborn first outing, I am sent into warped vodkas-toned patriotic dances of victory and pride, when I enjoy then ponder in its entirety, this track...which seems, and looks, and feels somewhat rugged, in words and poet flesh...but...he has something to say, and he says it swell. Huge and huge and huge improvement, confirmation of the joy possible of evolution, of an artist saw in Brighton, when comfortable, albeit mixed up on cognac and fine cheese skunk, and awaiting/attending the Atmosphere concert...Jehst was awful then, and now he is top drawer...a poet to encourage, enjoy and hope for more of the same from.

Gonzo Lyricism Mcabre Brothers

Dark, grimy, sinister...captures the nasty of the homeland wickedly well.

Granville Sessions - No State

An English Mobb Deep...haunting wondrous beats, intense lyrics forging themselves upon the roars and pages of their long lost twin brother of beats and bass and snare and drum...

Sonnyjim - Grindin feat Prime & Micall Parknsun (Jehst Remix)
Driving bass and old skool loop, not the most mind expanding lyrics I will come across this hour let alone week, but nonetheless, well put together and sailed on the surface of the sound waters...

The Four Owls - Not Like Before (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

'man i only went school to sell weed at lunchtime' is how this track emerges from the traps. Terrible...fucking terrible...the first emcee so high pitched, so eager to defend a pimple with a gun or knife...the beats are wonderful...seriously, some of the best, most infectious loops to ever drift out of the UK. 2nd verse is a mammoth improvement, with the third maintaining, just, the quality. Supremely produced, wicked emcees with little to say, of value to anyone other than themselves, if anyone at all...background value with potential for so much more. Fuck this, I am too kind. Or perhaps too worried...for what these obvious cunts, and their brethren, could and would happily do to me, were we ever to collide...This 'crew' makes me ashamed to be eNGLISH...it makes me understand more why I saw not so long ago, video footage of scum, pure fucking scum, rioting for no reason, for they have a place to live, they have food on the table, they ARE NOT BEGGING FOR FOOD, but still, they burn, they pillage, then they chase the police away...and now...record companies are paying the lyrical representatives of these same groups of SCUM, to show themselves, and have people pay to nod their head in time, and talk of the Four Owls...How dare they. What a grievous insult to Owls...for Owls are if anything, WISE...and these vermin, street punk cretins, the kinda goons who would mug a chap for no good reason at all, other than that they were there, and didn't wish to fight back...yes, we should celebrate such cunts. give a platform to the world to such cunts...best move onto the next tune!

Dirty Dike - Pork Pie (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Much better...no chest-beating townie pride cuntishness gone berserk from too many hoods nodding their heads in harmony, to whatever they hear, not what they want to hear and value in any way...I like this song, he seems like an english Mcenroe of Peanuts & Corn crowd...maybe a mixture of Mcenroe, Pip Skid and John Smith. No need to enforce, over and over again, the nastiness of England, insteadm be playful, wordy, lyrical...well done mr Dirty Dyke. you have reignited my hope for the future of english hippety hop.

Cyrus Malachi – Ancient Future

Cyrus...the name alone suggests a persian prince...the beats are perfect, the voice stepping upon the piano with vigour, knowing every step could be the last, but continuing to stride always onward...Quality.
