So back with another remix for you lot, this was done around the same time as the Slum Village x Ghost remix which has now reached it’s download limit so grab them while you can, i won’t be re-uploading!

Anyway i was in the states years back and i traded some vinyls for the Gods Son acapella vinyl, Nas was and is still in my top 3 G.O.A.T so to have some acapellas to work with was amazing.

I built this pretty epic beat, epic in a sense it had loads of bagpipes and shit in it and was some old scottish record i think. I chopped the samples into tons of pieces and replayed everything. Anyway i hope you enjoy this one, bring the Braveheart out in you!

So i did this edit way back when, in say 2005. Was floating on my old drive and i thought it’s a pretty decent little effort so lets just let some people enjoy it. I remember happy the vocals were so in key with the beat cause aint nothing worse when you hear a remix and some shit is out of key.

Anyway enjoy this shit and spread the love innit, aight!!!!!!!

Just caught up on this guy and i’m glad i did. First caught my attention with his feature ’Brand New Guy’ on the ASAP Rocky album. Funnily enough as i was writing this post Pitchfork came up on my twitter feed saying the new Schoolboy track feat ASAP Rocky was the hottest track of the day. He has a hint of Freestyle Fellowship about his, must be an L.A thing.

Anyway here’s a couple of tracks i was feeling from the album.. If you dont know get to..

Thanks to Will Barras http://.willbarras.com for the artwork, make sure you check out all of his work it’s amazing..

Kashmere Verb T and Ghost live at Kung Fu 15th June 2004..

Here is an exclusive and pretty rare piece of audio from 2004.. This was recorded live at the infamous Kung Fu nights that were held at the Underworld in Camden, London. Without doubt this was the biggets Hip Hop night in London whilst it ran, which from my smoked out awful memory would be 3 or 4 years? I’m sure someone can straighten that out for me.

Everyone who was anyone in UK Hip Hop played Kung Fu, and it was something everyone wanted to do. On a Weds night it was all about the nightbus home and 3 hours sleep up for work the next day! Some great times indeed, when it shut the Hip Hop scene in London wasn’t quite the same, and Mr Bongo’s was far behind either.

Verb T, Kashmere and myself performed at Kung Fu upon the release of there double LP/CD Backhand Slaptalk / Technical Illness for Lowlife Records, I’d not long had Ghost Stories released and suggested we all do shows together to promote everything we were releasing, strength in numbers. This was one of the first show’s we’d done properly together, and apart from one out of beat mix i did early on it was a tight show considering how little practice we did!! I also remember being really nervous before going on stage and having quite a few drinks to calm my nerves, that would explain the dodgy beginning! But we always managed to pull off great shows. When we rehearsed hard for a show we would smash the place up..

Great memories for me and the guys, i thought it was a good time to share this with the world so here you go. Listen and enjoy, feel free to spread it around. The most important part of the story is that we became great friends from doing all the shows together. It was never forced upon anyone of us to be involved, we had a lot of fun touring and that showed when we played, you can hear them cracking jokes and that happened for the next 4 years!! Not to mention us all working on each other’s projects, special times.

Eventually we got ourselves together and recorded the Invisible Inc project, grab the Invisible Inc album here..

Mystro is a don, a must watch…

I remember as a very young lad this coming out and me and my mates were nuts over it. The buzz had started with the Bullies on The Block 12″ . You can’t deny Freestyle Fellowship were way ahead of anyone else at the time stylistically. They were never afraid to try something different and they stay that way even the on the recent album, which i might add was a lot better than what i was expecting.

Anyway for now enjoy this slice of L.A Hip Hop with not a hint of G Funk, which i never liked. Oh and for those who think they were a bunch of soft C U Next Tuesday’s search for the Bullies on The Block video..

Clams Casino was easily one of my standout producer’s for 2011. His beats were used by ASAP Rocky and Lil B  but really his instrumentals work is quite amazing. Towards the end of 2011 more ‘deeper’ tunes and less ‘clubby’ orientated beats were appearing. Personally i’m hoping the trend contiinues into 2012, music (esp Hip Hop of late) needs a better balance, it’d be great if a few more producer’s came into prominence that had a similar musical vibe this year.

Anyway this was one of my joints and i’m excited to hear what he’s been upto this year..

Had to post this, i remember seeing Faith SFX way back when he was just starting out and playing as a youngster. Clearly a talented geezer beyond an average beatboxer.

Back on a blog tip, been a minute but i’ve been mad busy, more on that later.. Its no  secret i lost my buzz on Hip Hop for a while, the business of music can be a bitch so i did some other music to keep busy and move in some different circles. Also i needed to try some shit out. After a nice break i’ve been able to get back into the music i love the most, Hip Hop.

So these dude hits me up on my facebook page saying ‘big up Ghost massive fans, you inspired me’ and all this flattering chatter that always makes me feel proper happy! He sends me a few links to some music and i had a look around and discovered some top notch tunes, check these.. Shout out to all these dudes for passing by my page and showing me love, they got game yo.. Don’t Sleep
