LAUNCH NIGHT: DJ GONE ‘SIN CITY’ CD & DVD

Make sure you make it down to this event, here's the details!


Hip Hop is back and so is KUNG FU! Having spent the last few years developing their brand in many area’s of the media KUNG FU return to what they do best. Showcasing the best hip hop talent the British Isles has to offer.

Its been a long time since KUNG FU first launched its showcase event on the rain swept streets of Camden. But this new audio delight manages to encapsulate some of the mood and hunger of that time projecting all twenty nine track slap bang into 2009 and back into the heart of the scene they once dominated.

Selected and pieced together by the dexterous talents of DJ GONE, SIN CITY features KUNG FU faces old and new. Exclusive tracks from POISONOUS POETS, MYSTRO, TB, CHARLIE SLOTH, M9, MILLION DAN, TI2BS, SINCERE, JARGON, RIC BRANSON, MALIK [MD7], TASKFORCE, BIG DEAL, MR DRASTICK, BIG BEN, FAITH SFX, WRETCH 32, TEEF and RAMSON BADBONES make this essential.

Having started DJ’ing in 2002 DJ GONE has since then held down regular spots at all the KUNG FU events including a monthly slot at FABRIC for the last four years, tours up and down the UK and EUROPE plus hosting his own KUNG FU show on the legendary ITCH FM and later PYRO RADIO.

Now he’s bringing KUNG FU back to the people with the SIN CITY compilation and DVD series.

Video: The Lonely Island - I'm On A Boat (ft. T-Pain)

Normally with comedic hip hop tunes you get a bunch of dudes who can't really rap but can afford to make an average music video and get a semi decent production behind it. This is the case here except they CAN rap (albeit good imitations of big rappers today) and have a good video/beat.

The difference is in this case they've paid $000's to bring T-Pain in who provides his golden touch in the form of a chorus and adlibs to make the audience think he's unaware that this track is parody. In terms of what of I reckon it's a parody of, I reckon Movado's modern classic 'On The Rock' may have had an influence on this track (check the big remixes of that also, from Jay-Z, Chipmunk and others).

New track: Scram Jones ft. Saigon, Rhymefest & Haffa - Yes We Can

Before you say "not another Obama hip hop tune" this ones actually better than ur average.Ever since i heard it when it dropped on inauguration day u can hear the true New York sound to it, provided by Scram Jones, and all 3 of them deliver nicely.. especially Saigon. One to look out for to (finally) blow in 2009?
Download:
Scram Jones ft. Saigon, Rhymefest & Haffa - Yes We Can

For added value check this video.. behind the scenes of the video shoot. Rhymefest makes up for not selling records by goin all 'activist' on the world, and Haffa (as yet unheard of to my ears) breaks down why it was necessary to make this.

Grime MC Ribz banged up

Fading grime MC Ribz has been identified on camera "as the man who recently dragged a girl into a subway in NW London where he tried to rape her but was passing cyclist raised the alarm and scared him off. While he escaped on a mountain bike, his victim remembered the distinctive script of the large tattoos on his arms"[source].


'Gully bre'

Ribz, whose real name is
Elias Kajue has been described by one of London's free rags, The London Paper as a "violent drug-user who had a string of previous convictions" and say how he "struck as his 23-year-old victim waited for an early morning train at Cricklewood station in north-west London."

Ribz has been jailed indefinitly and will have to serve at least 6 years after being convicted, with the tatoos on his arms being used to identify him.

Ribz was known as one of the featured artists in the anthemic 'Pull Up Dat Forward' and part of former crew Gully Gang who are now de-funct to the members being locked up...

Jeeday Jawz - The night I killed a nerd (Rinse's beef reply)
