Cincinnati’s Buggs tha Rocka jumped on Skype recently to chop it up with London’s Kix Magazine

Afforded the title “Hip Hop Artist of 2014” by the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, the MC spoke with the publication’s Pedro Shippuden about his new album “Scattered Thoughts of an American Poet” which releases on 10th December 2014.

The 19 track album includes production by !llmind and Jake One, guest features by Tanya Morgan, Piakhan, MOOD and Chuck Inglish as well as many local Ohio artists, and is the first solo release since his “Wrath of Zeus” mixtape he released with DJ Clockwork. It is also the pre-cursor for a series of new releases in 2015, and as such will be available as a free download from his official website at www.buggstharocka.com

The audio stream of the interview was uploaded to the publications’s Youtube Channel “Kix Magazine TV” today. Check it out

In the past couple of months, Buggs has performed at the A3C Festival in Atlanta with Talib Kweli, the Reflection Eternal reunion show in Cincinnati, opened for Bone Thugs n Harmony and shared the stage with Mac Miller at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles which also featured Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Rick Ross and Pharrell Williams.

Over 3 days, 14th, 15th & 16th September, we arranged 5 video shoots with UK artists linked to future releases from Stateside artists Copywrite & Double AB.

On the first day, we were with Mystro, Genesis Elijah and Iron Braydz in Ladbroke Grove to film 3 of these. Mystro appears on Copywrite’s track Pick Up Stix, also featuring Sean Price, Iron Braydz appears on a track from Double AB “London’s Calling”, and all 3 appear on a new posse cut with Copywrite. Copywrite’s album “God Save The King” is due for release in the first quarter of 2012.

A number of media also dropped by to check out what was happening, including Soulculture, The Grime Report, BSomebody TV, Niji Magazine, Code Emphasis, Lime, and The Hip Hop Chronicle. Mystro, Gen & Braydz gave an impromptu “Big Man Ting” interview for The Hip Hop Chronicle (see below)

The next day we were in Lewisham, South London linkin up with Dru Blu (AKA Don Strapzy) to film a sequence for the track God Save The King. Good fellas and Dru been gettin a lot of exposure recently in the specialist UK media

On the final day we were over at Hammersmith to meet up with Context MC who had already appeared on a remix for Copywrite’s labelmate Vast Aire, on the track “Cannon on Samus”. The sequence was shot for a track “Ghost in the Machine” down at the Thames. Special mention to the woman who told us she could “arrange” for a variety of birds to appear in the video & offered a feather as proof. You have a sponsorship deal with Thunderbird in the making there sweetheart…..!

The full versions of these videos are now due to be edited and the results will be seen in the near future. Mention also to John at Dirty Media and Despa at Stay Fresh on the video duties
