Soundsational...

I am too lazy to have anything to say about this so here's a bit of blurb taken straight from the SoundCloud page...

"Inspired by songs from Mike James Kirkland's "Don't Sell Your Soul" anthology from his earlier days as part of "Mike And the Censations", the album title itself pays homage to the amazing source material that's been sampled, chopped and reconstructed while preserving the soul of the originals. The result are 10 songs that delve deep into Hip-hop's Golden Era with the boom-bap sound and soul samples combined to create an instant classic. Be on the look out for the album set to drop in late June 2013!"

2013 is shaping up to be a good year for rap, no?

Antimix? So Last Year...

Not posted much this year due to being busy, uninspired, lazy and/or drunk so I thought I should upload this ill-considered compilation which features lots of annoying sound effects, no mixing and a selection of my favourite rap tracks from 2012 (plus one or two from 2011 just because...)
