What's good Hip-Hop heads! I just returned from an amazing trip to Miami and Ultra Music Festival 2016.
If
you're into EDM/House/Dubstep/Trance all kinds of Electronic music,
definitely go (have to be 18+ kids). I can say it was one of the most
enjoyable festivals I've been to.
The
day I flew back I received an email from my bro Haka Beats - he
mentioned that he had a new EP coming out and being a fan of his work I
was excited.
Producing is an art form Haka Beats has that talent that makes the track come together - you can have the artist with amazing lyricism, quick-witted punchlines and bars on bars on bars, but if the track isn't produced well, it just doesn't come together and can make the "banger" you think you've heard, sound like a car crash.
Have a listen to a few tracks off the EP, trust me UK Hip-Hop in terms of producing has never sounded stronger.

Happy New Year Hip-Hop heads! Hope the New Year is going well for you.
So, we have projects on top of projects going on here, hoping to have some exciting stuff for you this year!
Back in the '90s I was a HUGE Garage fan, Craig David, Artful Dodger, DJ EZ, DEA Project, Zed Bias etc. Garage was everywhere and while I was slightly too young to actually go out raving, I remember listening to these guys religiously.
It could be said that they introduced me to DJ'ing and inspired me to pick up some mxers and do some bedroom Dj'ing.
Now Craig David has always been great so let me hit you up with a new-ish track from him and the legend that is Big Narstie.
(Shout-out to Dee who liked this track!)
-Enjoy!
