There's so much going on this week that I'll be retraining the spotlight on previously featured artists as well as focusing it for the first time on
Loudmouth Melvin whose quartet of free EP's are available for digital download;
EP 1,
EP 2,
EP 3 &
EP 4.
Loudmouth composed and produced all the tracks on the four collections and has built as a big name for himself in that respect as he has for his spitting. Indeed he regularly provides beats for the likes of Pyro Barz, Mentalist, and many others.
Check out his music at
YouTube or
SoundCloud and his personality at
Facebook or
Twitter.
In other news, three former spotlighted figures have each released something significant this week. I'll start with Lowkey, whose new video was released on Saturday, and he asks us who (or what) is a terrorist? If you weren't sure before, by the end of about six and a half minutes you'll find out... Powerful stuff!
Mystro's new
Digmund Freud EP is released today and includes the 'Around My Way' single produced by Kiss FM's DJ Swerve, which I've been playing in my shows over the last few weeks. Read exclusive reviews of it at
Soul Culture and
Certified Banger and order the CD from
Suspect Packages.
Also released today, in commemoration of the anniversary Tupac Shakur's passing, is Configa's latest production masterpiece
Pac To The Essence Vol. 1. Available as either a digital download or CD (remember those things?) direct from the man himself or, in a couple of weeks time, via iTunes and Amazon.
