Easy people! Last night I was spitting at a Workers liberty Solidarity benefit gig. A strange cocktail of underground British Hiphop and Extremist left-wing politics. I tried to hit it from both angles with some spoken word and into a more party vibe with a version of 'It Ain't Nothin'' over Dead Prez's hip-hop beat.

Also repping on the night from Brighton was Influx who came hard with some party jams and even a dark dubstep intro piece - sick! From the Endz was Angel MC, sick female poet who's been rockin' the scene for a number of years and Press1 who dropped some sick drunken bars that caught a few off guard - hard. Headlining was Sheffield's The Ruby Kid who dropped a tight set of accapella and straight up block rockin' hiphop.

The night was kinda smash proof but I caused a few cracks in the straight faces. Enjoy the pix courtesy of Highda (props are yours).

Props to Everyone who represented and to Marge and Dan for organising the event - hope you made some money and see you all at the next one!!

The host with most toast?

Comin to ya live again in April and May.

I'm going to be co-hosting one of the UK's finest spoken word nights, Hammer&Tongue at the Green Note Cafe on Parkway in Camden on 12th April.

But that's just the warm up - on the 3rd May I'm coming back to Camden to rep fo' North Weezy in the Hammer&Tongue Slam finals.

Come check it out and support the skillzes.

The flyer - cos that makes it official!!

Saturday, April 3, 2010

Spoken Word Poetry for the benefit of workers rights. Come and get aware as well as entertained by a host of London's hottest talent.

I managed to sneak on the bill for this one thanks to The Ruby Kid.

Come see we go haaard!

Da management say:

Following the jolly-good-time-had-by-all at the first Beats, Rhymes & Picket Lines event - where the mic was blessed by London's Captain of the Rant, Bristol's Clayton Blizzard, and Loki and Skribbo from legendary Glasgow crew The Being, we're back to serve up another slice. The formula is very simple; independent hip hop + radical politics = a better way to spend your Saturday night than stuck at home waiting for Match of the Day to come on.

So grab your nicest New Era fitted, throw on your backpack and get down to Cross Kings (five minutes walk up York Way from King's Cross station) on Saturday 3 April at 7:30pm.

Door charge is a mere £6 (or £4 if you're low-paid, a student or on t'dole).
