Wretch 32

http://www.mediafire.com/?ydq1mtznhg2
'Wretchibition' offers you a candid insight into who Wretch 32 is as an artist. With short interview segments shedding light on Wretch's past for the newcomers alongside classic material and new bits and pieces this is a heavy tape for both the newcomer and Wretch's already established fan base. It certainly wets the listeners appetite for the debut album, I'm not going to go too deep into what the tapes saying, just download it and enjoy. Oh and more importantly make sure you go and cop 'Wretchrospective' on October 6th.

BOMB DOWN BROADWAY

The people over at Zoo York put together a BMX race through New York City. A heavy concept, simple and perfectly executed.

Stumbled across it via the bible - HYPEBEAST.

A non-jibberish, kinda interesting, possibly entertaining blog post will be coming this week. (I hope)

Time Out - The 40th Anniversary

A little piece I did for Time Out on Fats Shariff aka Fatsarazzi. The issue is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the magazine and the theme running throughout this week's publication is that of 'Heroes'. You'll notice Dizzee on the cover, he was one of London's 40 Heroes who makes the city what it is today! It was a pleasure to be involved with such a legendary publication both going there with Diz and then getting the chance to write for them was also great, Time Out is an internationally recognized publication, covering 23 individual cities!!

Shystie - 'A Milli Freestyle'

Shystie is a sick female MC, I'm feeling this. I quite like her bars over the Bassline track at the very beginning as well. UK Female MC's always give the guys a run for their money, big up Estelle, Ny & Mz Bratt.

"Now I'm Thirteen, Smokin' Blunts, Makin' Cream"

So The Notorious B.I.G bio-pic is soon to be upon us. Now I do hold reservations with regard to this film, however, with the success of '8 Mile', this could be just as important a film for Hip Hop. Yet, one must remember the awful Fiddy bio-pic, I've got a feeling 'Notorious' will fall somewhere in between the two movies. I hope not, as Biggie's debut album 'Ready To Die' is my favorite rap record of all time. His depiction of those early years before rap are so vivid, providing its own unique cinematic experience for the listener. I know a lot of people have questioned Biggie's integrity as a "real" hustler, especially in the wake of Nick Broomfield's documentary, and those questions are going to duly arise once again. This could be a great film, not of 'Goodfellas' or 'Casino' proportions, but in terms of Rap Cinema it could be epic. I do have my doubts and will view with a smash of salt and the most sincere of skepticism. Lets hope it does both Biggie and his music the justice they deserve.
