Omerta-BritishHipHop

East coast duo, MC M.I. and DJ Cutt – aka Constant Deviants – release their new album “Omerta” on June 28th through their label Six2Six Records.

The album has a theme in the tradtions of a Prince Paul, Little Brother or Kool Keith release in days gone past. The pair draw on their respective Italian and Russian heritage to adopt roles in a series of audio vignettes with familiar cultural reference points. The mafiosa inference is presented metaphorically to relay comparative situations.

This creative approach is consistent with M.I.’s additional focus in the world of movie making. Acting, film writing and film production has been a new venture since the release of “Swiss Banks” last year, a co:production with their European affiliates SWC Records.

A new movie “Six2Six” which has a completely original storyline with no relation to the label itself co:stars Treach (Naughty by Nature), Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Bust Bee, and will be screened by Ralph McDaniels’ Hip Hop Film Festival at the National Black Theater in NYC during the first week of August.

Currently the rapper has been filming scenes for a comedy called “Can’t Live Without My Radio” due for release in 2017.

London journalist Taytula Burke jumped on the phone with them recently to discuss the new ventures, and the feature has just been published in British Hip Hop – read it HERE

Well, it’s not often you get a genuinely good laugh doing this job, but just occasionally something turns up…..

Earlier this week, MC M.I. from Constant Deviants jumped on the phone with DJ D-Money, host of the weekly Fresh Juice Radio Show based out of Washington State.

The pair began by discussing the group’s new album “Omerta” which releases on June 28th, and then moved on to the rapper’s new additional focus of movie making. As co:owner of Six2Six Records, M.I. has become more involved in acting, film writing and film production, and has set up a new subsidiary Six2Six Films.

MI2

A new movie “Six2Six” will be screened at Ralph McDaniels’ Hip Hop Film Festival in NYC during August, and co:starring with M.I. is Treach (Naughty by Nature), Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Busy Bee. Some of the plot line is explained before the Baltimore MC reveals he is near completion of another new film, this time a comedy, called “Can’t Live Without My Radio”.

Then comes a regular section of the show where rappers play the radio version of the board game “What?”. Among the questions asked are “What do dogs think when owners dress them up in clothes?” and “What would you legalize?”

We’ll just leave that there and you can have a listen to what he says……enjoy…..

You can listen back to the whole show on Fresh Juice’s Mixcloud

You’ll be able to hear the pair on radio again when they’re in NYC during the last week of June at the time of the album’s release, appearing on stations including Sirius XM, Beatminerz Radio, Bodega Cold Kutz and Classic Storm. Meantime, keep up to date with news about Constant Deviants on twitter @Cnstnt_Dvnts (label @Six2SixShift) or over on their Facebook Page

A new short movie “Swiss Banks” has just hit Youtube, and is a production of Trilateral Commission, an international hip hop collaboration between Six2Six Records (USA) and SWC Records (Switzerland).

The musical odyssey features M.I. of Constant Deviants in the role of “Pisano” in a series of scenes based on the novel “The Swiss Conspiracy” by Michael Stanley.

This production represents a long standing relationship between Six2Six and SWC with Constant Deviants also having toured in Switzerland as part of Trilateral Commission in early 2014.

VerbalSwardz-EyeKnowHipHop

North London’s Iron Braydz releases his new EP “Verbal sWARdz” tomorrow, Monday 14th April, the first of a series of releases in the coming year whether as a solo artist or as a member of London crews Triple Darkness and FuFu Gang.

He also continues his fledgling acting career with an appearance in a new independent film “Night Bus”, shot by British award winning director Simon Baker who made the Paralympic series for UK terrestrial tv station Channel 4.

Regarded for a number of years as one of the UK’s most skilled lyricists, the EP has generated widespread international media interest, and latest to review is British online publication Eye Know Hip Hop

An insightful synopsis of the 10 track release concludes “Verbal sWARdz is an exciting omen of what’s to come from the newest member of Triple Darkness. The features he obtained from some of the most respected names in the States along with his ability to form cohesive songs ensures whatever Braydz will accomplish next can only further his ascension.”

The article can be read in full HERE

Iron Braydz has produced the majority of the beats and also features Prince Po, Triple Darkness, Sean Price, Kyza, Phat Kat, Skriblah and Kiss FM’s DJ Shortee Blitz.

Look out for a new video of the track “Rambo” featuring Kyza & Skriblah releasing this week on Global Faction’s Youtube channel shot on location in east London

VerbalSwardz-Sampleface

The new EP “Verbal sWARdz” by north London Emcee & producer Iron Braydz releases a week today, Monday 14th April.

The first in a series of releases for the Triple Darkness & FuFu Gang member this year, it’s a very strong marker for what lies ahead for the rapper who also has an acting role in a new film “Night Bus” shot by award winning director Simon Baker due out later in 2014.

There has been extensive international media interest in the release, the latest of which comes via a review by British online publication Sampleface

Contributor Taytula Burke opens the article “His past two offerings Devil May Cry and Holla @ Braydz saw the NW10 rapper prove that being a student of the game can pay off — particularly when wordplay and lyricism become synonymous with your name. So is it reasonable to expect that tracks that even he previously slept on would be worth the time of day? Abso-frickin’-lutely.”

Read the whole review HERE

The EP is largely self produced and includes features by Prince Po, Sean Price, Phat Kat, Kyza, Skriblah and several of his fellow Triple Darkness members. He will be launching the official audio stream of the entire EP tomorrow, Tuesday 8th April, at midday (GMT) premiered by Shout 4 Music as part of their feature on him, so look out for that at www.shout4music.com

The EP releases to the public on 14th April, and to celebrate he will also be launching a new video for Rambo on that day, shot in London last week by Global Faction.

Keep up to date with him on twitter @Braydz and connect with the magazine @Sampleface & Taytula @Taykeova
