We talk to one of the best things to come out of Canada next to Justin Bieber and Mounties, alternative rapper guy K-OS. Also our resident rapping lawyer, Peach does some pro-bono work giving free legal advice in freestyle form. Plus a Mike Who? megamix! Awesomeness you shouldn’t miss out…
Cypress Hill will be touring throughout Oz in September. The first Latino group to go platnium and multi-platnium world-wide. In April 2010, the group released ‘Rise Up’ after a six year hiatus from 2004 album ‘Til Death Do Us Part’.
As some may know, California are going to the ballots this November. Cypress Hill has teamed up with organisations for a national reform of marijuana laws in support of Prop 19. A number of Democratic Representatives, libertarians and activists also support Prop 19.
As stated on their MySpace:
Prop 19 would allow adults 21+ the right to buy marijuana for recreational use, and cause it to be taxed just like alcohol. If passed, this would be a HUGE step forward in the fight to end marijuana prohibition. Our government can generate between $12-18 billion in tax revenue, save over $200 million in law enforcement costs, and create between 60-80k new jobs.
Dates: Thurs 23 Sept in Melb; Friday 24 Sept in Syd (Enmore Theatre); Sat 25 Sept in Gosford; Tuesday 26 Sept in Adel; Wednesday 29 in Perth and Friday Oct 1 in Bris.
An episode of Stolen Records without ten thousand rappers trying to freestyle in the studio. Just playing music and most of it was hip hop. Crazy! Bless up for DJ Damn (of Dirty Friends) on the mixing duties.

Niceness. It was about a year ago when Adelaide’s Delta and New York’s Mojo the Cinematic (of Dujeous) came by the studio for a little chit chatter and some live freestyles. Total murderation.
DJ person, Libra, regular Stolen Records guest, lover of good food and all round swell guy – Mike Who? hits us with another mix of Dancehall and Hip Hop goodness. Listen, download it, play it loud!
Hermitude with Urthboy and Jane Tyrell at our first Stolen Records Gala Ball
From the archive this is a mix that El Gusto played on the show close to a year ago. Was listening to it the other day and was thinking it is still pretty awesome. Sharing is caring. Expect some bumping hip hop, some wobbliness, dubstep bangers and brass band covers of your favourite gangsta rap classics. Don’t stop! Get it! Get it!
Meanwhile, El Gusto has been tearing up shows and beating off hordes of sex crazed groupies all around Europe as he performs with the likes of Urthboy, Jane and Horrorshow.
We missed last week because the gadget that records these shows at FBi failed, but we are backed in the house. Kicking it off with a massive jungle mix, a bit of funk-soul-jazz, guest mix from Gabriel Clouston and Phatchance and Coptic Soldier joining us in the studio. Please listen and if you like it pass it onto your friends.

Why we would attempt this on radio, I am still not sure. But even so, here is the footage of Apsci’s multimedia performance in the FBi studios. There was a lot of work between mic breaks to setting up projectors, wii controls, cameras, effects pedals and other sorts of gizmos, so please forgive me if I sound a little more flabbergasted than usual each time we came on radio.
When I’m not listening to songs about sex, money and violence, I like to fill the room with one of my favourite French romantic composers, Gabriel Faure. Pavane in F-Sharp Minor is a piece he composed in 1887, and was sampled more than 100 years later by Xzibit. At the time when he wrote it, he was unhappily married and earning very little for his compositions, which were selling for about 50 Francs to the publisher. He was a bit of a depressive, pedantic sort of a chap. In his time off from his day job working as a church organist, he would write these large scale works and a couple piano pieces, but unhappy with how they were received he would destroy them just after a few performances. Here is the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra playing one that thankfully survived.
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!
