Sorry I haven’t been writing much, its been very busy here at Don Studios. Big Narstie’s album is sounding amazing, and the Son Of King Rebel Stuff is vast. There’s been some new Mercantile Aims action, and some terribly exciting ATD16 action. More soon.
In the meanwhile, enjoy this new remix of Push It To The Limit, from ATD16!
Stream: Akira The Don - Push it To The Limit (Dr G Remix)
Forsooth! We have, exclusively, footage of Son Of King Rebel’s debut live thang, in Brixton last week. Footage, and photos, courtesy of Pizza Girl Productions.
Happy Friday fam. The Back In The Day Remix video is done. I am rendering that shit now. Then I gotta upload it. So, you know, coupla hours or somesuch.
In the meanwhile, I gotta let you know I saw Son Of King Rebel’s first gig last night, at The Windmill. Were you there? I know for a fact there was about 50 people there, and this time next year 5000 of you will be telling the tale. Go figure. Some of you cats is lower than rat-balls. Anyway. I gotta give props where props be due. Shit was awesome. Son Of King Rebel got hits! Mad hits! Hits for days! Well, about 24 minutes. 24 minutes of hits is a good ratio.
Hearing these songs with a full band at a decent hour, rather than at 4 am banged out pissed on a cheap fake piano was something of a revelation. I Don’t Love Jesus No More is so a hit! I’m a produce the EP and take all the credit.
Anyway. That New Music I was on about. It’s some Mood Music. Mood Music 3rd, in fact. Ill Poetic‘s done a really surprisingly ill mash up of Joe Budden’s Mood Music 3 and a load of Portishead joints. This shit really works - the music perfectly matches Budden’s borderline-physcotic, paranoid, wretched flow. The thing reeks of misery.
