REVIEW: Dewey Decibel

.:ALBUM REVIEW: Dewey Decibel -- #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM

After I discovered Dewey Decibel with the tracks Met Her in L.A. and Hello Hello, I have to admit I was quite curious about this mixtape but didn't really know what to expect, apart from a constantly crazy flow and witty wordplay, which seem to be some of the MC's trademarks.

It turns out I was not disappointed as #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM is a way for him to showcase his lyrical and technical skills. Nevertheless, despite this curiosity and interest in Dewey Decibel's talent, I was slightly taken aback after the first listen and didn't really know what to make of the project. I persevered though and listened to it again, and again, and again.

INTERVIEW: Eric Lau Exclusive

.:INTERVIEW: Eric Lau -- Word Is Bond Exclusive Interview

After Moka Only and Chief last week, it is now time for London producer Eric Lau to be featured here with a very interesting video interview we recorded at the end of 2011.

First of all, we would like to thank the owner of Guanabana, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, London, for lending his space for the time of the interview and providing such a lovely setting. Not to mention, the food is delicious there! It was also a great pleasure to catch up with Eric and get to meet Simon from Kilawatt, and we are very grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill with us and answer our questions....

VIDEO: Self Taught — Self Taught Life

6657363119 f6afc8a9a4 z VIDEO: Self Taught Self Taught Life CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH VIDEO

We climbed a 2300ft MOUNTAIN (7hr hike), in furry MASCOT costumes, in the middle of the blistering summer, with 70 liters of water strapped to our back with a bunch of LARGE BREASTED GIRLS and a handful of screaming sniveling kids. Then we setup a lemonade stand and made a music video.

This quote pretty much sums up the video and apart from the "large breasted girls" for whom my interest is quite limited, I find this video very original. It is always appreciated when artists try and find unique and innovative ways to present their music and offer visuals for their tracks so I give Self Taught the thumbs up for this video of Self Taught Life, which is a breath of fresh air and good vibrations, without forgetting the breathtaking view it provides our eyes with. The track is taken from the group's brand-new album, 5 Year Journey, which is available on a name your price basis (support is of course encouraged) via Chamberlain Drive.

Thanks for the post. Much Appreciated. We celebrated this post by going over to McDonalds and getting them to deep fry a muffin for us. It was soggy and delicious. It put an exclamation mark on this fantastic day.
