Ok we all know hiphop isn’t dead, but I’ve been missing English spoken hiphop in our country for a while now. Luckily, as of the last couple of months, we can rejoice and proclaim: ‘THE DRAUGHT IS OVER!’.

First off, Keynote Speakerz released their video for the track “Say What!” featuring King Jule, Avi and DJ DNS (of ShitIsBangin). It’s a basic and solid fastpaced partytrack and the video reminisces of the mid-90s when when rappers didn’t have big cars, jewels and.. well let’s say scarcely clothed women. For those paying attention, you can see flashes of Skidz ‘n me on this 8mm black and white film production.

Funny enough the Dutch producer duo Armyfatique also dropped some new tracks recently, holding on to the true hiphop vibe in a 2k jacket. Krylon and Lostsun have been busy with some overseas work including productions for Trife, Dom Pachino (Killarmy), Vordul Mega, Bekay and Maylay Sparks.

With their album dropping soon (guys, August is over, where it’s at??) in October and boasting featurings of the names above and more heavy hitters like Q-Unique, C-Rayz Walz and Access Immortal, it’s been a pretty damn good year for the Dutch beatmasters. To keep you heated until you can cop the album here’s the video of Armyfatique ft. Maylay Sparks – Haze.
