release in July 2009, we received a bunch of rave reviews, played a

tonne of shows for our amazing fans, and had fun collaborating with some

top-notch artists. Just incase you missed them, here’s are some projects

you should check out.

Last month our good friend Beefy released his new album ‘With

Sprinkles’. Beef approached us to work on this project a couple of years

ago, and it was well worth the wait.

Incase you’re unaware, Beefy is a smile-inducing rapper with an

impressive rapid fire flow – I’ve been a fan of his work for a while

now. He is also a key member of The Grammar Club – you’d be unfortunate

not to check their superb Bremelanotide release.

I’m proud to say I produced 5 tracks on ‘With Sprinkles’ (and worked on

the mastering), calling in eighty for a full blown Dual Core collab on

the gaming ditty ‘Press Start’. Our fellow producers and guest artists

really complement Beefy’s style, leading to one of the most enjoyable

‘nerdcore’ releases I’ve heard.

Another album we’re happy to be part of is ‘Forever Famicom’, a 14-track

collaboration between rapper Random and producer K-Murdock. This self-

proclaimed ‘homage to Nintendo’ cleverly combines video games and

classic hip hop, from the beats through to Ran’s laid-back rhymes. These

two things meet in a beautiful way.

Track such as ‘Dream Master’ evoke a real sense of nostalgia, from the

lovely 8 bit samples and crusty beats, to Random’s bitter-sweet tales of

growing up. I really can’t get enough of this song – had it on repeat

for weeks. I also love ‘World Tree’ – amazing work by K-Murdock on the

beat, which works perfectly with the uptempo rhymes and DJ cuts. Did I

forget to mention, you’ll find eighty in full flow on ‘For The Gamers’,

alongside Schaffer the Darklord?

The album rarely falters from start to end. Although the beats are based

around video games, it still has that pure hip hop sound that I love.

Production is accomplished and subject matter is varied, no forced

nerdcore geekiness here. Great stuff.

In April this year, the legendary MC Frontalot released his latest album

‘Zero Day’. Featuring rock-solid production and Front’s unique quirky

rhymes, the title track plays host to a guest verse by our very own int

eighty, alongside the great ytcracker. As well as the music, I’m a big

fan of what I believe is the greatest hidden track concept in history.

You can also find eighty working his magic on the track ‘Wordpress’ with

laid-back rapper / producer extraordinaire Dale Chase. The two flow

back-to-back over one of my favourite beats of the past 10 years,

produced by Dale himself. You are also encouraged to check the many

tracks available on Dale’s site.
