Habitus ft. Datkid, Sadomas, Bil Next: K-Rhyme

More bilingual, intercontinental raps from Habitus, as the Bristol-based MC and producer teases us with another track from his forthcoming album. On K-Rhyme, Habitus has drafted in Split Prophets members, Datkid and Bil Next, as well as Greek rhyme master, Sadomas. The video is made by Sektion Red.

Baileys Brown ft. Lee Scott & Dabbla: Something Else Entirely (Not Human) + Album Stream

Very happy to finally be able to bring you the new Baileys Brown solo LP in all its genre-defying glory. If you’re already familiar with Baileys Brown’s work, you will know he is a producer who is not afraid to venture outside the normal constraints of a genre and draw on musical influences from other areas, to create unique soundscapes which are among some of the most ambitious in the UK right now. When he found a home at Potent Funk it seemed like the ideal setting for his exploits, thanks to their already established love of ‘hybrid rap shit’ and with that in mind, Still Fresh serves as the perfect label debut.

Split Prophets: Mustard

A fresh locally sourced gem right here, as Split Prophets continue to celebrate their recent EP release. Mustard is produced by Badhabitz and features verses from Res One, Paro, Bil Next and Flying Monk. The video was shot by Chris Lucas. The Forecast EP is out now and there are a few tracks available to stream below.

Datkid X Baileys Brown: Teeth Ledger

The long awaited, much anticipated second solo album from Datkid was finally released today. Once again he’s drafted in Baileys Brown to handle the production, following in the confident footsteps of his first solo album, Home By 8.
Pleased to report that the follow up surpasses it’s predecessor, with the same amount of rugged wordplay that made Datkid a firm favourite on the UK circuit. There is an additional level of maturity too as the now London-based MC reflects on his life up to this point.

Split Prophets: Roadhouse

Brand new video from Split Prophets, lifted from last year’s ever dope Delta Bravo Kilo album. Roadhouse is produced by Badhabitz. The video was shot by Dfacer and the graff comes courtesy of Sace Gold. DBK is available now over on Bandcamp.

Bil Next: Word Up! Series

Big bars from Bil Next in the latest Word Up! session from This & That Media. It’s a good run they’ve done so far; long may it continue.

High Focus Bristol Roadblock: Review

A couple of weeks ago the High Focus squad rolled into Bristol en masse, for what looked set to be a day of good vibes, good people and good BBQ. Taking over the legendary Lakota club for a seven hour rampage, the bill boasted a weighty line-up including Dabbla, Ocean Wisdom, Fliptrix and Dirty Dike.

Split Prophets: Delta Bravo Kilo

Split Prophets have been a recognised name in UK hip hop since they burst out of Bristol with their Scribbled Thoughts EP. That was back in 2011 and after a slew of solo releases and a couple of posse cuts, this year sees the release of their first crew album, Delta Bravo Kilo. The eight strong collective have brought us 20 solid songs that prove exactly why they’ve amassed so many fans.

Split Prophets: Prophets Get Personal

New posse cut from Split Prophets, which is actually lifted from Upfront’s new album, Upfront & Personal. More on that later.

Illinformed ft. Split Prophets: Platoon

Some proper gang shit here as Illinformed drops the first leak from his upcoming release, The Mould Tape. Featuring Bristol crew Split Prophets, who bring eight MCs to the party, this is UK hip hop at its best. Great video too, brought to us once again by Oliver Whitehouse (Sektion Red).
