Ooh cheers!

Remember when driving round town with your mates in a 405 fitted with a sub was cool?

What do you guys think of the new NF album?

I listened to it earlier today, there are a couple of tracks I liked but quite a bit of it sounded 'poppy' (to me on a first listen).

What did you make of it?

I like the guy, he's got something to say - and I was wondering where he was going to go (sound-wise) after the last album - and yea, not a big fan of the "poppy" / mainstream kinda sound of the new release either to be honest.
To be fair I probably should listen to it a couple more times as well.

I agree, I should give it another shot. I didn't finish it yesterday as I got a bit bored with it after a while.

New Donnie Propa mixtape out, available to buy on cassette (but usually sells out quickly) and also as a name your price download. Haven't had a chance to listen to this one yet but they are usually good:

Diggin' this, thanks for sharing 🙂

Rakim has cancelled his tour, Bristol show is now scheduled for Friday 17th May 2024.

Gah. Where did you hear this?

I've got tickets for the London show and not heard anything yet.

My mate sent me a screenshot from Instagram. The Bristol O2 website confirms the date change but I haven't had anything from the organisers.
Ticketmaster says London show is now on 18th May 2024.

Cheers mate. Yeah just got the email today. Shame - hope it actually does end up going ahead.

Black Thought at it again :-

You've reminded me how much I loved this. Still sounds fresh.

Thanks for posting. I've listened to it a couple of times now, it is good but didn't grab me like cheat codes did on the first listen.

Cheat codes is a modern rap classic in my opinion.

It might well be objectively better. I prefer the El Michels Affair backdrop, by a big margin. Just personal taste.

I liked Conway the Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes a bit more than Cheat Codes :-

Teaser track from a new Fat Freddy's Drop remix album is pretty nice.
