hip hop etc.
As the temperature starts to drop and the evenings get darker, it’s best to have a good source of heat at hand to stave off the winter woes. Thankfully Frosty just released his new mixtape and it’s packed full of enough flames to melt what little is left of the Arctic.
Dabbla continues his reign as the UK’s most popular rapper with a new video from his excellent Year of the Monkey LP. Everything is produced by fellow Dead Player, GhostTown and the video was shot by aboveGround.
Arguably one of the most positive MCs in the UK, has dropped a video for the equally positive energy anthem, Super Happy, produced by Tom Caruana. This is the latest offering from Dabbla’s forthcoming Year of the Monkey LP and is the perfect antidote for this damp weekend. Year of the Monkey is out on 9 September on High Focus and you can pre-order here.
Fresh from the mind of Dabbla comes this new video, the latest leak from his forthcoming debut solo LP. Vomit sees him teaming up with his Dead Players family, Jam Baxter and GhostTown, all finished off with a nice little video from Vikki Digby-Johns. Year of the Monkey is out next month on High Focus, with pre-orders available here.
Dabbla’s gone and done a Borat. Watch his alter ego from a foreign land eat some moisturiser, among other things, in the brand spanking new video for Randeer. The track was produced by Star.One. Pre-orders for his debut LP are available here.
Dabbla is an MC who has been on the rap radar for a long time now, thanks to his work with various musical dons and crews over the years. He has recently signed to High Focus and is due to release his debut solo album, Year of the Monkey, in September. I got to have a quick catch up with him recently and here’s what went down.

Not many projects have got me as hyped as the debut solo LP from Dabbla. It’s been a long time coming, but in that time he has established himself as one of the UK’s best loved MCs, both by his peers and listeners alike. His album is not out until 9 September, but knowing the fiends that we are, he has blessed us with Stupid in the meantime. Continue reading “Dabbla: Stupid”
No video this time, but check out the audio for the opening track on the latest Dead Players album. Oh Well is the perfect set up for what was easily my favourite UK rap album of last year, with Dabbla and Baxter both smashing any previous conceptions of how to flow.
Check out the latest offering from what is likely to be my favourite UK album of the year, Freshly Skeletal by Dead Players. I was already a fan of the first album, the self-titled project they released in 2013, but this new album sees/hears them taking on a more mature sound. Continue reading “Dead Players: Freshly Skeletal review”
The latest from the excellent new Dead Players album, Freshly Skeletal. The trio have reached a more mature sound this time round, with Baxter and Dabbla both raising bars and pushing envelopes with their lyricism. GhostTown kills the production as usual. The album is available to buy now via the High Focus shop.
