The eagerly anticipated new CD album from Mystro 'Diggi Down Unda' on the aussie Grindin imprint is now available from us. For peeps on this shore, it may have seemed that Stro was M.I.A, in actuality Mys has been working hard in Australia, connecting with the best the aussies have to offer, touring with The Hilltop Hoods & rocking joints with a lot of others. The CD features 19 brand spanking new joints entirely produced & cameod by down under artists and delivered in true Mystro humour. Be sure to peep it out, it's definitely a scorcher, hotter than 'Music Mystro EP' in my opinion...
Also I am now officially announcing that there won't be any orders in the mail now until after the festive period as both Disorda & I will be away enjoying booze, partying & cow tipping. Merry Festiveness Guys & Girls, lets hope next year is a banger!!...

Having repped mighty hard over the last few years in Australia via tours alongside artists such as Braintax, Hilltop Hoods and Resin Dogs, and recorded with the like of Bliss N Eso, Hilltop Hoods and P-Money it's easy to see why one of the UKs most respected artists has found recording an entire album with Antipodean artists alongside him so easy. Mystro's forthcoming 'Diggi Down Unda' long player finds him taking control on the mic over beats by New Zealand's P-Money, and Australia's Suffa, DJ Debris, Dazastah, DJ Bonez, Mr Zux and Phrase. Also alongside him on this adventure will be Anecdote, Phrase, Macromantics, Maya Jupiter, Layla, A-Love & Hilltop Hoods. It's set to drop here in the UK around Feb/March time, however right about now the limited 3 track 12" sampler featuring the killer P-Money joint Who You Gonna Blame? finds Mystro flexing his titanium lungs to full capacity. Dazastah's chilled out 'Keep It Moving' vibe has Mystro rolling out his love for this thing we call Hip Hop, whilst the 'State Cypha' joint produced by Mr Zux brings in 4 other emcee's from New South Wales (Hyjak), Western Australia (Drapht), Victoria (Muph) and Queensland (Robby Balboa) alongside the mighty Mystro on the guest tip, rounding off the 12" and leaving you fiending further for this adventure down unda. Trust me from what I've heard it truly is a hefty project and worth the wait, in the meantime grab dis 3 track 12" as it's the only vinyl coming from the album, you can also check out the video to 'Who You Gonna Blame?' right here yo...

You might recognize him from the now deceased Deal Real open mic sessions, Speakers Corner or from Foreign Beggars’ tour last year.

Following on from ‘The Working Class Dad’ album, Sit Tight Records bring us 2 goodies in various forms from Micall Parknsun. Firstly we have the brand new 12” ‘Hungry’ b/w ’Somehow’, the A-side is a flame grilled Apa-Tight banger featuring a catchy hook from Dubbledge and was on P’s recent album. Also included is an exclusive remix of ‘Hungry’ by Billy Brimstone aka Jehst, on the flip LG provides a musical masterpiece for the emotional ‘Somehow’.
This is also found on the next release we have, the official ParkE mix CD ‘The Interview Mixtape’, it is essentially a collection of older ish that didn’t make the album. Also featured are freestyles and various unreleased tunes with Bob Skunkhouse aka Ram, Secondson, Humurak D Gritty, Kyza, Jehst, Klashnekoff & loads more good stuff. He’s currently working on a second album as well as material with Huddersfield collective Groundwurk & Me (keep your eyes peeled for the Parkski & Butch EP), so be sure to hear more big tings from this geezer in the future…
Humurak D Gritty returns on SFDB with a new 3 track EP entitled ‘They Ain’t Ready’, fully produced by Cardiff beatmaker Secondson. This EP ain’t quite as dark as the first one, it’s a little more up beat and funky production wise, but King Gritty still drops that raw shit…
Lastly Irish badboys All City bring us a new 2 track 12” ‘Like They Used To’ b/w ‘Come Up’ from production duo DJ Flip & The Freezemaster Slick. The A-side features the ex-Arsonist Freestyle spitting some ‘They Don’t Make Em Like They Used To’ ish over a summery up tempo jump off. The ‘Come Up’, which is the other side features Prozack Turner (Foreign Legion) & Marc Stretch and is equally as chilled out but more of a braggadocios type of joint. Give it a peep, ‘Like They Used To’ is tight!...

Been checking out a rough version of Million Dan's forthcoming mix CD today, it features a mixture of the ex-Demon Boyz emcee's new and previously released material, alongside a nice slice up of upfront reggae and hip hop vibes all mashed in true soundbwoy selection style by the one like Daddy Skitz. Watch for it in dropping in a months time hopefully, before this in the next week or two will be a fresh 4 track vinyl EP from Million Dan, keep it peeled to the site for this one, pure niceness truss, tracks featured are two mixes of 'Pull Up', the classic 'Dogz N Sledges', and 'Tek Microphone', boomblaast!!!

Easy peeps, it’s Friday-end-of-the-week-Butchos, big shout to Big Dis who is in France rocking some Speedos (as am I –rocking Speedos in the office that is hahaha)…
We finally have the album sampler in stock from DJ MK’s new ‘Above Board’ mix CD. 5 tracks are featured here, it’s a bit of a shame that more tracks didn’t come out on vinyl as the mix is 100% and contains some serious flames. Tracks from Roots Manuva & Rodney P, Yungun & Mr Thing, Kyza & Pyrelli, Skinnyman, Ramson Badbonez/Taskforce/D-molish are all featured here, over beats from Farma G, DJ Mentat, myself (Beat Butcha) & Mr Thing. Lastly just lemme give a big shout to the Label for putting the production credits in the smallest writing possible so that everyone with a microscope can see who made the beats! Have a good weekend...

Birmingham rapper Sonnyjim get’s busy right here and now with a solid release in the form of his Soul Trader EP. Having served a healthy portion of his career up to date rocking many an open mic and battling his way into peoples heads, this 8 track EP shows just why he’s about to get the attention he rightly deserves. Solid production throughout comes from JBC, Roeg Du Casq, DJ Skare, Kosyne and um, Dave. Don’t be worried that you may not know some of these names as the beats are top notch, coupled with Sonnyjims killer verses and flow this is one cat to watch. You'll also find guest spots from English & Kosyne and cuts undertaken by DJ Cro and Jodo, with a few other helping hands on some funny skits, cop it now on CD and vinyl format. We also have some handy Sonnyjim lighters here to give out with each order placed, use them wisely now...

The kind gents at Antidote have supplied us with copies of DJ MK & Fallacy’s My Show in 12” format, produced by MK & DJ Thor, lifted off MK’s forthcoming ‘Above Board’ mix CD. The CD features exclusive material from all the biggest London hip hop acts at the moment, emcees like Roots Manuva, Rodney P, Plan B, Jehst, Kyza & Ramson Badbonez just to name a few. The beats are provided by the likes of Harry Love, Beat Butcha (Yes it’s me moohaha), DJ Mentat, Farma G & MK himself, again I’m just naming a few because the album is ram packed full of hot steaming talent straight from our big smoky sewers. Also be on the lookout for the vinyl sampler dropping around the same time as the mix CD, which should be within the next week or two...

For those of you who tune into my show on Itch FM unfortunatly the time has now come for me to move on after presenting the Suspect Packages Radio Show for 6 years, this Sunday will be my last show for the station and I can tell you that the decision to leave has not been an easy one. After being with Itch since it started broadcasting, presenting the show has been part of my life every Sunday evening. The reason for leaving Itch is basically down to my general workload and needing some of my own personal life back at weekends… However fear not, the Suspect Packages Radio Show will still continue at least once a month here on the website via our Suspect Radio to the rest of the world, along with our Australian Hip Hop shows on the sister site…
There maybe other legal stations that I will be on in the near future so we’ll keep you posted on these potential movements, but for now make sure you tune in on Sunday if you can as we’ll also be hijacking the Beer & Rap Show before us, so expect some slurry slanguage nah mean. This Sunday’s show should be recorded and up on Suspect Radio for those outside the London area, till then, thanx to all the DJs, management, engineers and of course loy
