JND – Dust


 
‘Dust’ from JND‘s (Flame Griller) album ‘Working Classics’ out December 1st 2012 on Sinoptip Music.
 
Beat by SAYSWHO? cuts by HASH FINGER shot and edited by MAJOR KUTS.

AND WHAT?!

Dope new track from the Shedmen! Straight outta the Hudd, it’s good to see the terrible trio back on it! Obviously Addverse and Imranimal come correct with the flowing rhymes, all garnished with some choice cuts by DJ Illas, all in all I love the Shedmen’s cheeky, slapstick style. Great video too, simple but looking really fly – the location was a good choice.

This track is taken from Sinoptic Music’s  ”We Don’t Do S**t Hip-Hop” Vol 7 which we have mentioned before. You can cop it right now, right here.

Urban Nerds celebrate five years of crazy line-ups in London, as we pull out all the stops to hand pick a diverse set of underground UK bass, dubstep, grime and funky acts on one of our broadest cross-sections of talent yet…we’re marking 5 with a return to the deep underground sounds that we kicked off with back in 2007!

Grime veterans Newham Generals – MCs D Double E and Footsie – have gone from strength to strength in recent years. This is an act known for their lyrical aptitude and versatile musical styling that sees them successfully straddling the genres of grime and dubstep with releases such as ‘Generally Speaking’ in 2009. Dynamic and seamless, theirs will be a highlight set!

Gorgon City is the brand new powerful collaboration between Foamo and RackNRuin. These UK bass producers come together in style to produce big sounds – for this highly anticipated new project.

Klashnekoff, who made his name in the underground UK hip hop scene with singles such as ‘Murda’ in 2004, boosts the bass ranks, alongside Rudimental, whose ‘Feel the Love’ is currently Radio 1’s Mistajam’s JAM HOT track of the week. Urban Nerds’ newest resident, Rinse FM’s Marcus Nasty is undoubtedly one of the pioneers of the UK funky movement. He’ll be kicking up the pace with MCs PSG and Sharky P, while fellow Nerds resident Rattus Rattus will deliver one of his smash-out sets hosted by drum ‘n’ bass legend MC, IC3.

Room 2 presents two of the hottest UK grime labels: No Hats No Hoods versus King Pigeon Records. Bringing together the finest from both camps, DJs Warrior One, Rude Kid, Magic, Eastwood, Guerilla Speakerz, Lenkemz, Murlo and a live PA of ‘Beautiful’ by Jae Ella will keep the vibe rude and bouncy. Hyping up the crowd are MCs of the moment, Kozzie, Scrufizzer, Trilla, Chronik, Merky Ace and Roachee.

Two of London’s fastest growing party-starting crews, our mates at Get Low and Redux go head to head in Room 3. with residents Get Low Cartel, Binman, Arch, Sai, Newjack and RankOutsider, selecting across a broad span of genres ranging from jungle and dubstep to bassline!

Jack Flash & Wizard – Progression [ALBUM SNIPPETS]

OZMO

WOW this piece of ‘Street Art’ is pretty darn nice. Really like both the engraving-like shading and also the general surreal feeling of the piece, I am reminded of the Walrus and the Carpenter for some reason.

You can see literally loads more of his work here. This piece is located in the famous nightclub Cargo’s beer garden, Rivington St., London.
