London Go Hard
DJ MK is putting a fresh new mixtape together, I for one and very excited, I need that new Kyza in my life. Check his blog for the downloads. He posts a lot of cool stuff, his radio show on Kiss is heavy and recently he's been posting the mixes alongside the tracklistings which is always massively appreciated.
Make sue you cop it. If you don't know about MK, then jog the F on. One of the heaviest to ever do it on these humble shores.

Witness The Newness
DJ MK today posted a short mix of cuts off of the new Roots Manuva album 'Slime & Reason' cop it here
I'm more than excited after listening to this 15 minute mix. It's sounding incredibly fresh, I wasn't initially convinced by 'Buff Nuff' but its certainly grown on me, and after having heard this mini-mix I'm eagerly anticipating the full release.
Roots Manuva is some what of an enigma, a fascinating character both on and off wax, I had the fortune of working with him a couple of years ago at Itch FM's 5th Birthday Bash. Rodney killed it, I was helping run the stage that night and it was quite an experience. Performing with his entire Banana Klan, consisting of about 9 or so members, affiliates, musicians and MCs it was quite the task getting them all on stage! It was a heavy show and Mr. Manuva was as humble as ever, a real nice bloke.
He is easily in my top 5 UK MC's of all time! He broke barriers with 'Run Come Save Me' and shifted an awful lot of units, with die hard hip hop heads, students, broad sheet readers and a few in between taking heed of his South London, yard-slang driven raps.
Two videos off 'Slime & Reason':
Again & Again
Buff Nuff
For those of you who have been a sleep for the last 10 years here is a selection of classic Roots Manuva material:
Witness
Dreamy Days
Too Cold
Cold Cut feat. Roots Manuva - True Skool
Go cop the full release when it drops later this month on Big Dada.
