Inside Nokia Music

This guy is on fire – get to know. This New York based, New Orleans born MC is taking hip hop into the new decade with absolute flavour and new school flows (with a knowing nod to the old school). Now before you new school fools let that word put you off before even checking him out, then let me point out that this MC’s style contains all the best bits of Nas, Kanye and MF Doom all rolled into one headstrong, poetic delivery. Possibly the most talented MC to emerge over the last couple of years.  There… I said it. I could go on descibing whats great about this guy but I’ll let you figure it out by yourselves.

DJ Furious Styles and DJ Dub have put together this 26 track collection of  recorded tunes, live excerpts and exclusives that have been floating around on the blog scene for a while.  The beats, like Jay’s rhymes, are thick with head nod swagger - some of the best beats I’ve heard for a long time, in fact.

Damn, hip hop ain’t dead. It was certainly suffering but 2010 is sounding mighty healthy right now.
