'The Earlier Escapades of Willo Wispa'
Taken from my other favourite label Associated Minds blog . This needs to be listened too, one of the sickest mc's to come out this country has blessed us with a free ep . . . Beats .
Yes Yes Preachers of the Gospel. We come like wise-men, but not from the East. And we come baring some festive gifts for you.
After some stand out guest appearances this year on a whole heap of critically acclaimed releases including Sir Smurf Lil's 'New Bloodline' LP, Evil Ed's & Conspicuous LP and Mudmowth's 'Circus In The Cemetery' 12" people are talking about Willo Wispa.
No one, and we mean NO ONE, spits like him. Simple as.
And so before we release his 'Wot's Willo On!?!' LP in early 2009 (that'll feature a whole heap of the countries best producers and a few choice guest emcees) we thought we'd let the world know why we wanted to work up with London's own true drunken master.
So we put together 'The Earlier Escapades of Willo Wispa.' If you read the liner notes included they'll explain it all - but we dug around other peoples archives to pull out the roughs and rares of tracks that kinda deserved get out there more - but are either sold out on vinyl or seemingly lost on peoples dead equipment - that made us wanna work with him so much. It's only tip of the iceberg stuff but it gives the world the start of the experience that is listening to Willo Wispa.

Modulok & Bare Beats 'Two Cities'
One path, different streets: this summarizes the new collaborative project between Modulok, the Toronto-based emcee most notorious for his work as one half of Red Ants, and Bare Beats, the London-based beatsmith and respected veteran of the British hip-hop scene whose trademark sound has become synonymous with the record label he fronts, Bare Records. Modulok's grime poet lyricism and brass knuckle flows have found a perfect home with Bare Beat's smoked out, jazz-tinged, head-snapping tracks, creating a sound that is dark, abrasive, and reminiscent of the classic east coast hip-hop of the early-mid 90s. Two Cities is tough, raw and unrefined - yet behind the murky atmosphere of broken glass and microphone battling is a thought-provoking exegesis on the plight of the individual trapped in the modern day city.
Track Listing :
1, Intro ft, Wireless
2, Happiness ft, Jabba Tha Kut
3, City ft, Apollo Creed & Jabba Tha Kut
4, Trouble ft, Perry Scaramanga, Kal Sereousz & Smokey
5, Grimy
6, Taste ft, Baracuda
7, Stories ft, Jabba Tha Kut
8, People ft, Jabba Tha Kut
9, Assassin
10, Origin
'Two Cities' Hangs together perfectly as a document of the current hip hip underground" K Mag
"..it is great to get a glimpse of the man behind the emcee, a feat which is made possible thanks in large part to the gloomy production of Bare Beats, who also deserves credit for his creativity and great sample choices." Thomas Quinlan
"Modulok and Bare Beats are concise and straight to the point in a way, let’s face it, most MCs can’t even silently wave a mic at." British Hip Hop
"With a good mix of dusty jazz, 50’s film suspense music and punchy drums Bare Beats creates a concrete foundation for Canadian MC Modulok." Certified Bangers
myspace : Modulok & Beats
Available to buy now @ Bare Records
Music video for 'Terrible' by Modulok (Red Ants) produced by Bare Beats, filmed in Guyana on Super 8mm.

Tor - Beatz in the Capital
Beats are chosen well; my favourite has to be her wonderful take on Wu-Tang's 'M.E.T.H.O.D. Man' and tracks from Lupe, Baby J and TI also get blessed. The remix of 'Strivin' by DJ Mentat is top class stuff and it features a pretty chilled out Klashnekoff. Faith SFX also busts some beatboxing as Tor raps quite jawdroppingly on 'Faith SFX Jam'. Following Bashy's success with 'Black Boy's' Tor has recorded, yes you guessed it, 'Black Girls' and its proper.
If you're in Japan you get to pick up the album next month but this mix should be enough for you now. And please don't be put off by the fact she's a female. I know there aren't many good ones but there are a few and Tor is one of them. Take notice of this girl because she out-raps most of your favourite MC's. Respect.
