Disco Scratch Radio Interview with yours truly.
From Discoscratch.com:
These interviews I’m doing are revealing some fantastic information about the roots of the UK Hip Hop scene. Scenes14 started in 1982/1983 and it wasn’t long before he was jumping fences at 3 in the morning with a sack of paint on his back. Combined with a love of B Boying and all the elements, Scenes soaked up as much of the fledgling UK Hip Hop sphere as possible. To this day he’s still rocking a dope custom graf Jacket & box fresh Puma kicks with the Suspekt crew baseball cap.
We spoke about the early jams and some of the pivotal events in the UK through the years that Scenes has attended. Racking up some 28 years of living Hip Hop, this guy knows his onions, hope you enjoy the show and apology for slightly too loud mics causing some slight distortion, what can you do, we were gonna do it through headphoes to start with!!! Enjoy & big respect to Scenes14, peep his site, The Underground Strikes Back.

Artifacts-Thats them
One of my fave head nod lps from the mid 90s. This is the follow up to the 1994 album Between a Rock and a Hard Place. That was a classic album and so this LP had a lot to live up to. But it succeeds by bringing that classic hip hop style while making the transition in to an era that was dominated by everything "gangsta". El Da Sensei and Tame One come from a true hip hop background as they are both graf artists originally and they manage to keep that element running throughout their music. I never really understood why this album got so overlooked when it was released, as it had all the things you need for a classic, including tight production from Shawn J and Lord Finesse, as well as El and Tame's lyrical skills. If you've heard the 1st album, this won't disappoint and if you've never heard the Artifacts before, this is an excellent place to start.
