THE ARTFORM Artist: CONFUCIUS MC & MR BROWN Label: WE STAY TRUE Format: LP Price: £18.99 We Stay True is proud to present a brand new project. A collaboration between two unique and very talented hip-hop artists: Confucius MC & Mr Brown. Both with a shared passion for art, film, manga/anime and Hip Hop they blended it all together to create The Artform. Mr Brown showcases his classic sense of groove and masterful use of samples and produces a solid mixture of unique beats.

Confucius' intelligent lyrics and superb flow combine perfectly with the beats to make a riveting and dynamic collection of songs. Thematically built on their shared interests the album examines the nature of art and the role of the artist in a subtle and conscious manner, stimulating the brain as well as the ears. UK Hip Hop legend Jehst was drafted in for the only feature on the project, adding his unmistakable lyricism to the track The Art-Form Pt.2 and helping out with some post/executve production work to complete the project. With 7 tracks in total The Artform is necessary listening for anyone who likes well-produced, intelligently written, thought-provoking modern Hip Hop.

RIDE THE SAMPLES Artist: AMBASSA FT. NICHOLA RICHARDS Label: WAKEDITOWN Format: LP Price: £18.99 Ride The Samples is a project that pays tribute to some of the original songs that - thanks to sampling - later became the building blocks of world-famous Hip Hop classics. Hearing these 8 famously sampled Soul classics re-arranged in a Reggae style reveals how Soul and Reggae are deeply interconnected.

When the first sound systems were born in Jamaica, they used to play a lot of R&B and Soul tunes from the states, the melodies and sounds of which, went on to influence the new wave of Jamaican music from Ska, to Rocksteady and then Reggae. In a similar way we find parallel influences in the States, where - in late 70's Bronx - newly born Hip Hop was deeply influenced by Jamaican immigrants with their street art of 'dee-jaying' (or 'toasting') over instrumental riddims. Ride The Samples is our way of keeping this powerful mix of genres together, celebrating the original Soul samples on which world-famous Hip Hop classics are based.

Expertly produced utilising traditional analogue equipment and instrumentation by Italian born, now London based Ambassa, with London born and bred singer and soulstress Nichola Richards on vocals. The result is a mind blowing excursion into Hip Hop's Soul.

With a Reggae twist. Fully recommended. (Sealed black vinyl edition with free download card).

NO WATA DOWN TING Artist: MUNGO'S HI FI FEAT. YT Label: SCOTCH BONNET RECORDS Format: CD Price: £7.99 Some of the most outstanding contributions on Mungo’s Hi Fi multi-artist projects have come from Ipswich lyricist YT, so it was only a matter of time before they collaborated on a full album together.

YT doesn’t flinch from life’s harsh realities and tough questions, yet he is also sufficiently well-grounded to breathe new fire into staple topics like sound clash and ghetto romance. He also spars with two of the greatest dancehall singers, in Johnny Osbourne and Little John, over music laid with the help of Prince Fatty to add that analogue rub-a-dub flavour. The result is an album that salutes the foundation and its continued relevance in modern dances today. NO WATA DOWN TING Artist: MUNGO'S HI FI FEAT.

College sucks: I'm trying my hardest to stick with this whole college thing. Knowing I farted away 5 years of my life and I should have my Bachelor's degree by now doesn't make things any better. I'm constantly reminded of those 5 years whenever I want to give up and quit. It's especially tough right now in a stupid literature course where I thought everything would be easy since I'm pretty good at the subject and with it being my major. I'm not going to blame my instructor for my short comings, that's something elementary and high school kids do when they think their teacher hates them. In fact I screwe.
