Madlib Gets Mad In London

Last night at Fabric in London, Madlib did an impromptu rendition of 'The Red' before his Dj set.

He then asked the crowd to make some noise for J Rocc and wasn't too pleased with the response, so he left the stage.

In true hip hop style he came back on after the crowd spazzed out some more and went on to play some heavy beats, all be it in his own unique style.

Doom - Lightworks

In light of the 2 Dilla tribute nights in London recently, this has come at just the right time. Metal Face does his take on the Lightworks beat.

Homage To Dilla

It was Dilla's born day last saturday, I went and caught Frank N Dank at Doctors Orders. Dope night, i've got some video on my phone but can't get it off the thing. Big shout to Spin Doctor, Shortee, Drew, Pops, Jay, Russ & Isabella (we are in this mother fucker) and everyone there. I thought Herbal was gonna collapse around us when they did 'Filthy'.

Don't forget that this Sunday is another Dilla night at Cargo, this time Shortee Blitz will be making an appearance behind the decks so get your arses down there and soak up some really loud Dilla.

All of which brings me to this tune, it's the next cut in Focus’ “Homage To” series.

Illa J - Strugglin (prod J Dilla)

If J Dilla really changed your life like your bootleg T-Shirt says, then you should go and buy this LP instead of downloading it you tight arse. Here's a taster off the Yancey Boys LP, out now.

We're a bit late with this but I like the track so fuck it...

PPP - Shotgun (Waajeed's Pinky Remix)

A dope remix of Platinum Pied Pipers & Dilla’s classic track 'Shotgun'. Given a shiney new paint job by Waajeed and a previously unreleased section of vocal Dilla-ish.

Featured on PPP’s forthcoming Abundance Mixtape, featuring Waajeed remixing shed loads of old PPP material as well as some brand new PPP snax. Abundance, the album, should be splattered all over good music shops from Jan '09.
