Camp Lo, a Hip-Hop duo consisting of rappers Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba epitomised the slick, multisyllabic lyricism of mid-nineties rap music. The group’s impressive début album “Uptown Saturday Night” was released in 1997 and it introduced us to the pair’s unique style juxtaposing elements from the 70s […]
I missed the release of many albums on the run up to Christmas so now I’m playing catch up… one of my favourite releases from late last year was “Elixir” by Aaron Rose, the MC previously known as A La $ole. This is a decent début from the […]
A year after Black Moon’s classic “Enta Da Stage” was released, the Boot Camp Clik’s second group Smif-N-Wessun dropped their début album “Dah Shinin’”, the last LP from the collective to be released on Nervous/Wreck Records. This album shares a kinship with “Enta Da Stage”, not only because […]

‘Imperium’ tells the story of an undercover FBI Agent named Nate Foster who infiltrates a far right organisation in order to thwart a dirty bomb plot.

Jus Allah’s album “M.M.A.” could have been so much more, especially since Jus is one of the most unique rappers who successfully blends Horrorcore; serial killers, witchcraft, violence, with black comedy, pessimism and even a little introspection.
