Our boy Johnny Supreme (check the link for his dope beats) recently tipped us about Truly Pheasant & The Sjoel Of Hardknocks - Tweed Prison Tapes. Kinda funny since I already checked it when it came out, in a time ...

Since there are some rumors going around that the once pioneering and trend-setting netlabel Tokyo Dawn Records may or may not have a relaunch (the website states 'back late 2008'), this would be a good moment to go back in ...

While I was checking out my weekly plays at last.fm (I'm a statistics-freak) I noticed a whole bunch of new people playing my track "When She Looked At Me (I Saw Her Wondering)". Since it was released by the Creative ...

This week I realised I should keep an eye on .NL hiphop more closely. Even if it isn't for the MC's (it's a well known fact that I really don't like the Dutch language) it should be for the beatcreators. ...

They call themselves the "archeologists of sound"', and they certainly live up to that self-proclaimed title. The men behind "Now That Is What I Call Shhhhh..." are Charles II and Mr. Beatnick. Hailing from the United Kingdom, the duo exudes a ...
