Veteran hip hop duo Constant Deviants release their fourth studio album “Avant Garde” through their own Six2Six Records imprint on 12th May 2015.

Producer DJ Cutt and emcee M.I., now based in New Jersey and Baltimore respectively, have today released the second official video taken from the new project. The follow up to “The Right Moment” released late last year, “Breathin” incorporates the classic Constant Deviants sound. A symbiotic mix of Cutt’s jazz and soul sampled beats complimenting M.I.’s smooth flow as he delivers another cerebral masterclass in the art of storytelling.

The video was filmed in Baltimore and directed by J Powell

Keep updated on this release which will be available in vinyl, CD & digital formats :

ALBUM COVER

Constant Deviants have confirmed the release date of their fourth studio album “Avant Garde” as 12th May 2015 which will be available on their own label Six2Six Records.

As the name suggests, the new 15 track album takes the true essence of a past era and applies a contemporary twist for today. Since the release of their debut 12″ single ‘Competition Catch Speed Knots’ in 1996, these hip hop veterans worked with major labels Arista and Roc-A-Fella on various projects before returning to the independent sector with the formation of their label.

Their debut album ‘Concrete Utopia’ in 2010 was followed by ‘Amongst Friends’ (2011) and ‘Diamond’ (2012) and now with Avant Garde, two decades of experience shine through. M.I.’s lyricism is perfectly complimented by DJ Cutt’s production and turntablism, resulting in a release with a sophisticated maturity by a duo at ease with their craft.

They have just launched the official album trailer video on Vimeo

VerbalSwardz-UKHH

Latest review of the new EP “Verbal sWARdz” by north London Emcee & producer Iron Braydz, this time by the long running online devoted to British hip hop UKHH.com

The high regard with which his lyricism has been held in the UK for the past few years is summarized

“Regardless of the flavour, Iron Braydz always serves up rhymes that are of the strictly highest order. With the exception of a select few, including a couple of whom from his own clique, nobody comes close to his pure rhyming prowess at this point in time. One can only assume that the projects over the coming months will explore different terrain but, for now, it is pretty exhilarating to hear this guy back spitting full stop.”

Released on his own Unorthostract label, the 10 track EP featuring Prince Po, Triple Darkness, Sean Price, Kyza, Phat Kat, Skriblah & DJ Shortee Blitz is available now at http://braydz.bandcamp.com
