New Boy Better Know

Boy Better Know

18 May 2009

2008 was the official ‘Year of the Rolex’. Wiley’s Wearing My Rolex (Eskibeat) stormed the charts to number 2 with remixes by Hot Chip and a collaboration with Mark Ronson.

The craze continued when Skepta (Boy Better Know) gave the nation the moves to match catchy bars with Rolex Sweep. Cue an International celebrity craze as Busta Rhymes and Paul O'Grady attempted to recreate the steps, Coldplay's Chris Martin performed his own rendition during a gig in Brixton Mass and Timmy Mallett created The Boy Better Know 'Sweep Show'!

The two influential MC’s entered 2009 with a new commercial and widespread appeal whilst still being true to their underground roots, and now Boy Better Know return with Too Many Man, and official chant of the Summer! Produced by Skepta, he along with: Wiley, JME, Frisco and Shorty are beckoning to bring the girls back to the clubs!

New single Too Many Man is released 18 May 2009 and also features on Skepta’s Microphone Champion and Wiley’s Race Against Time, both albums released on 1 June 2009.

MKD Recordings/The Hip Hop Village/RGS Entertainment

The unique talents of London based Rapper, "YUNG" (formally known as Yungblud and mostly known for his early work with UK rap cartel MKD), has now teamed up with the credible producer S.Chu, of Rawheed to bring you his debut street mix CD titled “Unconditional Hustle”.

Unlike most Hip Hop releases circulating the industry at present, “Unconditional Hustle” displays a layout of strong sounding tracks from tip to tail, in which YUNG proves himself to be one of the most agile and versatile up and coming street lyricists within the UK Rap industry to date.

The music composition stems from well known producers such as S.Chu, who has worked with artists such as Loudmouth, Smasher and Kano...
Other feature producers include Wizard, 7th Dan of MKD and Mikey J (Rawheed) who is known most recently for Kano's 'Hustler' track. Additional features include YUNG who debuts his own production skills.

Fellow MKD rappers Major and T-Lo provide their lyrical skills alongside San Man, The Colony (Conspicuous the Coroner and Cobane) Ice man, Shortman and Shameless. Vocalist and Songwriter Xara also features her credits include, hit single “Complete” (Jaimeson) and new Funky House track “You got me”.

“Unconditional Hustle” promises to be a must have for any UK Hip Hop lover and will act as a prelude for all up and coming work from this talented 'no holes barred' artist.
