Rainman - The Edge 26.11.10

We headed over to The Edge last Friday to take a few shots of a showcase for Brisbane artist Rainman. Pretty hard place to shoot with such a high roof but here's a few that turned out.
Ray will be swinging us some new shirt designs soon so keep an eye out for them on the store. Keep your ears open for his new album too.

I'll be setting up shop this Sunday at Weird Gear selling some wares.
A small amount of the Seventh Letter Fall range will be on sale before it his the webstore.

I'll also have a few 5 panel, fitted, snapbacks and flexfit hats plus some other local shit.




Bring down a few pinapples and I'm sure you'll be fit to go home with some wax and a shirt or two.

Jake Biz Purgatory 2 promo EP1

With a string of recent guest appearances alongside some of OzHiphop’s finest artists and the success of his ‘PURGATORY’ June 2010 release receiving some 900 plus downloads, JAKE BIZ returns with the second installment titled ‘PURGATORY 2’. In the lead up to the full length debut COMMERCIAL HELL droppin early 2011 on KARSNIOGENICS, JAKE BIZ is set to blaze a hellish trail across the scene.

‘PURGATORY 2’ kicks off enlisting the talents of Ozhiphop legends BIAS B and LAZY GREY to throw down on THE STATESMEN produced stomper ‘GETTHEFUCKOUTTAHERE – REMIX’, with the EP culminating in the 750 REBELS feature banger ‘THE SHAKEDOWN’, a BROOKES CULLINGS (aka OVERPROOF PETE) produced mammoth that captures Brisbane’s most revered crew at their dream-shattering best.

Jake’s fellow WARPIG member and frequent collaborator BIGFOOT take it back to their Gangsta Rap roots on the heartfelt dedication to feminism ‘HOW ABOUT IT’, while Jake goes it alone on THE STATESMEN produced joint ‘STILL DRUNK’.

We continue the wait with fiery anticipation for ‘COMMERCIAL HELL’, the official debut long player from JAKE BIZ with longtime friend and collaborator OVERPROOF PETE, and as such enjoy your stay in Purgatory for just a few moments longer.
‘PURGATORY 2’. Free download exclusive to www.runroyal.com on DEC 13, 2010.

Throw your W’s up.

Meyhem & Action. Queens Reprazent!

Every so often someone or something comes along and reminds me why i love this rap shit so much, enter Meyhem Lauren and Action Bronson.
Both hailing from The Rotten Apple's Q-Borough, alongside the late Killa Sha, they make up one half of the J-Love helmed Outdoorsmen crew while Meyhem is also a member of the property re-appropriating Lo-Lifes massive.
I recently copped Meyhem Lauren's "Clarrified Butter" mixtpe and J-Love's "Underground Emperor" and have had both on constant rotation since. While i'm fairly indifferent on J-Love as a rapper his production is second to none and provides the most suitable backdrop for Meyhem and Action to cut loose on.
Gritty and abrasive with G Rap style deliveries and a Ghostface-esque cadence, i recommend any fan of "that old raw shit" to cop this immediately.

This shit is almost refreshing... Check the videos:

Ray Lewis - Meyhem Lauren Feat. Action Bronson and AG Da Coroner.

Bigfoot - Giant Steps

A stalwart of the Melbourne music scene since the mid 90’s, Bigfoot needs little introduction to those with an ear to the underground. Etching out a reputation for thunderous production, aggressive flows and a formidable stage presence, Bigfoot has been a scene-stealer since day one. Following the momentum created by his regular appearances on the now legendary PBS 'Formula' sessions, Bigfoot began his reputation as a prolific guest-spot killer with his verse on Brad Strut's 'Authentic' LP in 2001, and he soon appeared on studio tracks and live bills with the likes of Bias B, Tornts, Hospice Crew, Brothers Stoney and Reason.

As the buzz intensified, he released the 'Footprints' 12- inch in 2004 which has become a much sought-after collector's item. Building on his close ties with members of Queensland's 750 Rebels, Bigfoot temporarily relocated to the Sunshine State, where he dropped yet another devastating guest verse on Lazy Grey's 'The Soundtrack.' People were starting to wonder when he would drop a full length album of his own. “Giant Steps” is what the fiends have been waiting for. It marks Bigfoot’s emergence from the underground into the upper echelon of Australian Hip-Hop, and years spent building his strength as an MC and producer have paid off with this stunning debut. “I didn’t want to just slap together a sub-par album and throw it out there,” explains Bigfoot “It’ss been so long in the making that I had to make it worth the wait.” Produced entirely by Bigfoot himself along with Hired Goons accomplice Heata, “Giant Steps” is a sonically diverse opus constructed from all manner of eclectic sounds, ranging from dirty funk samples and jazz infused live guitars, to ghostly synths, monstrous bass lines and hard hitting drums.

Opener “Stepped on” is a driving electro-fuzz stampede laced with an unrelenting verbal tirade that harks back to Bigfoot’s days spent on the battle circuit, while “What Goes Around” and “Stop” are mercilessly dramatic street stories detailed over eerily hypnotic backdrops. “Can I Kick It?” is an energetic workout that sees Bigfoot teamed with Bias B for some tongue in cheek verbal sparring, with the Melbourne veteran also trading rapid fire verses over “Burnin’ Hot”, a blisteringly paced microphone meltdown.

With “Giant Steps”, Bigfoot proves his versatility: one minute it's the smooth fusion of Bigfoot and Dialectrix on “We Got That” with dialogue delivered deftly over the fluid instrumental. The next, it's Bigfoot and his Hired Goons crew letting loose on “Hell’s Gates”, with Tornts, Fletchrock, Billy Bunks, Gargoyle and Ciecmate all proving their prowess over an ominous track.

“Sucker M.C.’s” finds Bigfoot and the 750 Rebels paying homage to their influences over a spine chilling banger laced with old school hip hop, and “Round & Round” takes us on a bleakly introspective journey tinged with a touch of soul courtesy of Muph and Miss Brown, lamenting the burden that comes when everything feels like it's about to fall in on you. Rounded out with additional appearances by Brad Strut, Fluent Form and Brothers Stoney, “Giant Steps ” is an epic ride through the mind of a Melbourne MC and producer at the peak of his powers, not just living up to expectations, but surpassing them.

Giant Steps Drops November 12. Available at all good record stores and on itunes.
Pre-orders are available HERE.
Purchase the full album on itunes and receive 4 extra remixes or email proof of purchase / pre-order details to brokentoothorders@gmail.com and also recieve the remixes.
