That Kween G is a problem. While I was away eating tacos and trying not to get kidnapped by taxi drivers, she was filling in on my show plotting a coup. This is her interview with Kurtis Blow backstage at Tone Nightclub in Sydney, before his performance. Pssssttt… whatever.

Tours, Tattoos and Cheese Cake. We talked to Pharoahe Monch and Jean Grae a little while ago. Such agreeable company. Both of them have albums to sell. Pharoahe’s is out now, and Jean’s should not be far off. Be a darling and pick up a copy of W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) and Cake or Death.

Ooooooh dear! I was going to interject there, but I let it go. Don’t admit to being a Star Wars freak in public. Now you totally lost any chance you had of coming off as being cool and semi-normal if you ever do meet Natalie Portman. Listen to your Mum dude.

Jean is a pretty good rapper. She also makes awesome interview talent. No talking about what was your first hip hop album here. We get straight into ‘Why cyphers are wack, poisoning boyfriends, baking, selling flatmates on craig’s list, getting Josie Styles kicked off 2SER and taking people down to Chinatown’. If you only check out one interview on this blog, definitely listen to this one I did on Jean’s last trip to the country earlier this year.
Jean also makes music. This is what it sounds like…

Alternative Energy! New album from the The Tongue. He has cooked up some radcore shit. With production from Dizz1, El Gusto and M-Phazes, collabos with Ngaiire, Urthboy, Gift of Gab and Joyride, and The Tongue being a pretty alright rapper himself, we have a recipe for awesomeness. It is out September 10. You may be inclined to purchase it.

So a week or two ago Wiley had a bit of a spaz and decided to put up all his unreleased material online in about 10 separate zip files, including an album which he just signed a deal for. I been working my way through the zips, and thought I would share some of the gems I found amoungst all the half finished tracks.
One of the standouts is ‘Georgeous Girl’, where Wiley gets his Shakespeare on with lines like “She had eyes like Granny Smith apples”. Breath taking!
