UK’s Hip Hop Kings is next up with a review of the new album by Copywrite, God Save the King (Proper English Version), which releases digitally on 15th May 2012 on Man Bites Dog Records

The concept of the album began back in January 2011, with HHK’s Ryan Maxwell assisting in the early process at the planning stages, so our thanks to him for the part played.

The album is an absolute banger, including features from some of the UK and USA’s finest. Look for big contributions from the likes of Royce da 5 9, Genesis Elijah, Sean Price, S.A.S., Mystro, Sonny Seeza, Akala, Crooked I, Iron Braydz, Melanin 9, Killah Priest, Bigz Flygerian, Inspectah Deck, Dru Blu, Context, Don Jaga, Casual, Roc Marciano, Evidence, Torae and more.

Heavy production from Vanderslice, Stu Bangas, Marco Polo, Jaguar Skills, Kount Fif, Curtiss King

Copywrite himself is on top form, and its little wonder he considers this to be possibly his best album to date

Check the full review HERE

Look out for more singles & videos from this album coming soon, and you can also check Youtube for videos such as G$K ft Dru Blu and “Royal Flush” featuring Genesis Elijah, Mystro & Iron Braydz currently being shown on British tv

Latest release from the new “The Swashbuckler Volume 1 : The Viking Wars” album, presented by Man Bites Dog Records and producer Kount Fif

In the main produced by MBD labelmates Kount Fif and Jason Rose, it has features from Killah Pries, Roc Marciano, Planet Asia, Cappadonna, U-God, Outerspace, C Rayz Walz, Royce da 5 9, Inspectah Deck, Heltah Skeltah and many more.

Album is released on 27th March and there will be a further series of singles and videos over the coming months.

“Early 90’s” is produced by Kount Fif whose credits include Killah Priest’s “Gun 4 Gun” ft Nas, and on this track he’s joined by New York’s Double A.B., Karniege and Torae, the latter having just dropped “For The Record” produced by DJ Premier.

The single reflects the overall motive behind the album, a tribute to hip hop’s “Golden Era”. The LP is rammed full of bangin beats matched with some fierce rhyme skills and flows, and is definitely one for the fans of the “tru skool”

Currently releasing a series of freestyle videos and exclusive new tracks, this comes ahead of the launch of the final instalment in the EP Trilogy “I Came I Saw”. The new EP includes further videos and new special footage which will be seen over the coming months, all leading up to the release of his new single “I Get Busy”

Three is the magic number for this Kilburn MC, now based in the south Bronx.

The 3rd & final part of his video documentary has just gone live to the internet.

Part 1 documents his work within a New York label, which also features Steve Rifkind, Yelawolf and he freestyles for Wu Tang’s RZA

Part 2 again shows him behind the scenes working in the label, and he speaks on the balance between his job there and furthering his career as an independent artist

Part 3 shows us a typical day in his life, how he manages his time between his “day job” and stayin on the grind, with some exclusive footage of him performing at Think Pink Rocks in 2010 and behind the scenes footage of his video shoot for “I Get Busy”

He has just launched the first new single from the EP “I Came I Saw Vol 3”. Featuring NYC’s singer Shareen Amour, “I Told You So” is a statement of intent from Jamieson that his grind on both sides of the Atlantic will continue to make 2012 his best year yet.
