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....

AUDIO: Evitan (Dres & Jarobi) – Give It To Me

evitan AUDIO: Evitan (Dres & Jarobi)   Give It To Me

Brand new track from the upcoming album by Evitan.  I'm building up anticipation for this release for a couple of reasons; Jarobi being considered the enigmatic member of ATCQ and Dres being a favourite MC of mine.  It feels good to be able to look forward to an album by artists like this.

nomaps AUDIO: Metro feat. Rakaa & DJ EPROM   New Maps EP Preview (Poland)

This sounds pretty good, a lil snippet from the latest release by Queen Size Records, a small Polish label but I quite like them. This is part of a 7" series with Polish producer Metro, which has featured prominant names such as Rakaa of Dilated Peoples, MED, Wildflower and Guilty Simpson, so it's worth checking out.
