I'd thought I'd povide a link to what I think is an excellent Hip Hop resource, www.spinemagazine.com. It's got a kinda UK flex with sections on Graf, New Music, Old Classics, collecting and interviews with a whole heap of interesting bods. Check the graf section interview with sticker king Solo One, anyone London based may well have seen his stickers.
Hope you enjoy and I'd like to here any comments.

BTW,one of the main frustrations I find with Spine (and this board as well sometimes) is the amount of new stuff it tips me to which I can't hear. I don't have enough disposable to keep up to date. Anyone got any good resources for hearng new stuff? I'd be interested to hear about radio etc. more than download based stuff as I've not really got the bandwidth on my home PC and the works IT department won't let me download the latest Norega tracks for some reason, the killjoys.

Fifty stickers a day?! Now that is dedication to his art.

I like the billboard offering a reward for vandalism...with a bomb right on it. I like this person already.

I really can't suggest anything for hip hop resources at the moment. I basically use BearShare for getting my music. Which can actually be pretty frustrating when the songs I'm looking for are never there to begin with.

He's a busy boy, ain't he! I've seen tags by London writers up in Thailand so I can believe it. Dedication beyond the call of duty.

Hey Ill, I have just downloaded two songs that are real good:

"Brought to you by" from Speech by Arrested Development
"Early in the Game" from NAAM Brigade

They were free d'loads in my mail from Artist Direct. You might want to check that site out. Also LEN's new cd is out and I will definitley be snatching that one.

There some disgusting flows in that NAAM song. Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good.

Thought I'd chuck in some Hip Hip radio for those of us lucky enuff to live in London ("lucky" intended in a cultural sense as opposed to a financial, rent-paying sense)
One of the guys from Spine is on Kiss FM on Weds nights, 10-12.
Also an excellent show on XFM - DJ Greenpeace - at the fucking unfeasible hour of 12- 2 Saturday night. Well worth catching if your social life has ground to a standstill.
