Video: Busdriver ‘Niggas In Paris’ and ‘Shutterbug’ Freestyle


WATCH THIS! Busdriver did this freestyle on the show late last year. Possibly the best freestyle we have had on the show since Aceyalone paid us a visit. There is something about those West Coast underground rappers and insane freestyle flows.

Heaps Decent’s Homebase Allstars: Tasha Lee Marshall, Fowl Murk & Medz


So I do some work for Heaps Decent. Can’t really call it work though. It is too much fun to fall into that category. Basically it is a project putting on music workshops with young people in schools, juvenile detention centres, isolated rural communities and other places with some really talented local and international producers.

Each week at Redfern Community Centre, Heaps Decent runs a drop in program called Homebase. Tasha Lee Marshall, Fowl Murk and Medz are some of the youngsters that attend these sessions. Above you can see them perform their song Kick It produced by Heaps Decent facilitator Joyride, and below is a track by 14 year old Lil Ryonez and Monica Winter.

This is a little taste of what you will witness if you come to the Heaps Decent showcase on tomorrow… details right hurrrr

St Patrick’s Day Rap, West Coast Hip Hop and Joyride Performs Kelis Cover


Have you ever wondered what River Dance meets Dancehall Reggae sounds like? How about Gaelic Hip Hop? It’s St Paddy’s Day and I thought we would celebrate our Irish heritage with music.

We also get our gangsta boogie on with a massive set of West Coast hip hop. Plus Joyride comes in to perform a Kelis with the Neptunes Cover, ahead of the Player Haters Ball.

Mixtape: Sarah Love Live on FBi 94.5 FM


I really miss Sarah’s show on BBC 1xtra. There is so much I still love about that station, but the hip hop offering is just not as diverse and just a little bit too yelly, since Sarah, Excalabar, Rodney P & Skitz had shows. Sarah’s show was the place for me to come to get the update on more traditional hip hop from the UK, and the states without too many explosions and other hoo harr. She even gave me a shout out once. I was super happy as I sat there listening at work.

Even so, Sarah has still been doing her thing. We were lucky enough to have her in on the show for a mix, when she was in Australia just a week or so ago.

It was a half n hour of power. In just 30 min Foreign Beggars, Borgore and 12th Planet exploded onto the airwaves with massive basslines and so much energy. Twitter was going crazy as the transformed the show into something you would expect to hear on London pirate radio.

Shots Shots Shots! Here are a few shots of Jean Grae, Mr Len and Mela when they ran amok on my radio show a week or so ago. You should really listen as the play everything from LMFAO to Jane’s Addiction, interview Pete Rock and are really mean to my poor mum… bastards!

Occupy FBi: Pete Rock, Jean Grae, Mr Len, Foreign Beggars, 12th Planet & Borgore Takeover


I didn’t do much this show, just sat back and let it be consumed in the chaos. I handed over the first half of the show to some of New York’s finest hip hop artists Jean Grae, Mr Len & Mela Machinko. I give them a whole lot of rope and they use it to hang me.

Oh and after being really really mean, Jean also does me a favour and interviews Pete Rock.

Then in the second half of the show, it becomes more like a London pirate radio show as UK hip hop/grime crew Foreign Beggars takeover with Los Angeles dubstep producer 12th Planet and Israeli producer/dj/rapper Borgore.

Massive. Huge. Gargantuan show.
