KeepOnGrindingCover

Legendary New York hip hop veteran Bumpy Knuckles is set to release Lock’d N The Lab in late August via Gracie Productions, his first solo album in 10 years since Konexion.

This of course follows on from last year’s highly successful collaboration The Kolexxxion LP with long term associate DJ Premier.

“Keep On Grinding” is the first official single taken from the album, featuring Christopher Williams and is produced by Bumpy himself, aka Freddie Foxxx. Currently putting together plans for an international tour later in the year, expect to see more singles, videos & news on this release over the coming months

New exclusive here for the djs – official brand new radio edit of Crooked I’s single “Villain” originally released on his Million Dollar Story EP.

The Circle of Bosses affiliate, which includes Horseshoe G.A.N.G. and of course Shady’s Slaughterhouse took the hook from Gracie Productions’ singer / songwriter Sally Anthony from the track of the same name which first appeared on her album Goodbye in 2007. The album peaked at #9 in Billboard’s Heatseekers’ Chart & the video of the original was released in December 2012.

She has also previously worked with Crook on the track It’s Been So Long, and with Slaughterhouse’s Joe Budden on Machine Gun.

Check the track on Soundcloud

Any djs who have not already been serviced with the full quality version of this track, but would like to receive a copy, (the explicit version of the new edit is also available on request) contact UrbanElite PR HERE

There’s little question that this has been a landmark release for the London emcee with such an extensive of international media coverage, and it was also good to see the re-emergence of London’s Itch FM who featured Ryan Proctor’s review in Old to the New. Anyone involved with British Hip Hop will be well aware of the role the radio station played over many years in supporting artists such as Blak Twang, Jehst, Phi Life Cypher, Task Force, Skinnyman and many others, before winding up operations a few years back.

However theyre back online, and you can see the feature at http://www.itch.fm/melanin-9-magna-carta-review/

Magna Carta is available from iTunes now, and can be bought HERE You can also buy the CD physical format by mail order from http://m9ether.bandcamp.com

You can hear snippets of the whole album streamed exclusively yesterday by Bonafide Magazine, another publication to give the release its full endorsement by including it in their Top 50 Releases of 2012. Hear the audio stream HERE
