Remembrance.

The 9th March is the day Notorious B.I.G died, so in remembrance our boy Wayne Lotek has dropped a mix dedicated to dead rappers. Wayne Lotek did worked on the Roots Manuva albums, he has just done the award winning speech debelle album and more importantly he is Sonnyjims go to guy when its time for the mixes and mastering. In other words, our boy Lotek is the man. peep his Sound Cloud Mix, download here

LOUIS DEN BEAT CYPHER 6

So we made it out the other side!!, Beat Cypher 06 went off with a bang as we played host to amazing beats from FS Green, Sir OJ, Shears and Urban Monk. Its dope that each one gets taken to another level in some way and this one was no exception with some real heavyweight producers we played host to not just 1 international guest but 5!! as FS, OJ also had DJ/Producer Full Crate (who shared the wheels with CRO that night), ill producer Hayzee and their photographer Patrick.

Not only this but we were also blessed enough to have Dreaddy Beats (a Birmingham native at that too) roll through to judge the beat battle and let us hear some exclusive blaps straight out the macbook!




As usual we had the PA's do their thing which came from Taharka, and Chima Anya and Serocee in the second half, as with all these joints theres a lot of analyzing and runnings to break down so hopefully next time we'll keep taking things to the next level.

MORE LOUIS DEN ACTION COMING SOON!

Apollo vs Kelakovski Beat Battle

As youtube is waste I've had to split these up into 2 parts so peep what went down last Wednesday as the LDBB crew and Eat Good Fam (Kosyne, Kelakovski, Eyebs & Raul Supreme, Sonnyjim, Taharka, R2ThaBeatz) went to London to show support to the YNR camp for their latest release; Sir Smurf Lil's 2nd album "A New Bloodline"...(smurf recently took part in the LDBB Beat Cypher so we gotta show love back.

Anyway at the event was a beat battle that was supposed to be between Apollo (Champions Of Nature, producer for Conspicuous, Ralph Rip Shit, Jehst & more!) and Apatight (Groundwurq, Jack Flash, Sir Smurf, LDBB league & more!)...turned out Apatight couldnt make it on the night and after a call from Jehst (about 20 mins before we left too!) Kela took on the challenge and offered to play blaps in place of Apz. (it just so happened we had all our gear with us as the LDBB lot were performing at Beadshed the next day and were stoppin with fellow LDBB head Jon Phonics...vid to follow).

Ok so heres how it went down; I think you'll agree Apollo and Kela both brought the heat that night and was dope to watch it go down!!.


If you wanna peep more of Apollo's ish head over to his myspace at http://www.myspace.com/apollohiphop...and obviously Kela on the LDBB Top 8.
