Latest UK magazine to review the new album by Ohio’s Copywrite “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” which is out now on Man Bites Dog Records

Sabotage Times is a lifestyle online covering Sport, Fashion, Music, Travel, TV & Film, and here Tobi Oke takes a listen through the “Sex Pistols Inspired Hip Hop” album featuring a host of legendary names from the UK and USA which results in a “truly ambitious and commendable project”

There’s little doubt that the unique nature of the album has attracted a lot of interest, but it’s also been recognized as having the quality and depth to match the ambition and more.

The final video from the album, “Ghost in the Machine” featuring London’s Context will be released very shortly. Meanwhile, Copywrite is busy recording the new Megahertz album “Megacy” due for release later in the year

Its been an epic journey, but the day has finally arrived

After the initial concept of the album was born during the first couple of months of 2011, and after a very long & winding road in the months which followed, Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” releases today on Man Bites Dog Records

A Stateside version called simply “God Save The King” was released with an entirely different tracklisting in the States in February 2012, however this version took the longest to complete given the massive array of international talent from the UK, United States and Canada who also feature.

Needless to say, the UK media have taken a huge interest in the release over the past few months, with nearly 30 separate magazines either reviewing or publishing interviews (with more to come), djs & online platforms from both sides of the Atlantic jumping all over the various single releases and videos, with further UK satellite tv station support.

Latest to give props to the album is The Hip Hop Village, the people behind which also run 16 Bars Magazine

Also look out for a new video “Ghost in the Machine” featuring London’s Context coming very soon

Copywrite himself is also busy putting together the new Megahertz album, and plans are underway for a European tour taking place early 2013

The album is available on iTunes internationally, and people can check in at www.copywritesworld.com or www.manbitesdogrecords.com for more information

You can keep up to date with Copywrite on twitter @Copywrite or with The Hip Hop Village @HipHop_Village

Latest review of Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” which releases on Man Bites Dog Records on 7th August

This one is in Rago Magazine, run by the guys from Wolftown Recordings, Tricksta & Late.

Those boys have been involved in UK hip hop for many years and consistently been putting out their own products internationally as well as running the magazine, several different blogs and various other ventures. Respect the grind

Here Tricksta pretty much goes in on his assessment of this album!! No holds barred, he definitely gives it the seal of approval :

“Well my friends, it’s like this, if you don’t like something on this album then you are either a hater, deaf or totally lost the plot”

Lol, no messin about in a true West Midlands stylee!!

You can link with the guys on twitter @Copywrite & @RagoMagazine

A huge international release for independent hip hop, unprecedented in its involvement of US and UK artists of such a high stature, circle 7th August on the calendar & make sure you cop that

“A truly fantastic album” is how Curtis Paskin sums up Copywrite’s “God Save The King (Proper English Version) which releases on 7th August 2012

Writing for the UK’s multi genre Hit The Floor Magazine, the in depth analysis is pretty much right on the mark. There again, with the tracklist below, the quality of trans Atlantic producers and artists who also feature on this release complimenting Copywrite who is on top of his game throughout, it would be difficult to come to any other conclusion

Crooked Coppers ft Crooked I & Iron Braydz prod by Surock
Love from Sarah (PSA) ft DJ Sarah Love

Latest review of Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” which releases on Man Bites Dog Records in July 2012 – this time in London’s Beatnik Online

Here, Rob Boffard, who also has his 20/20 show every Thursday night 10pm GMT on Recharged Radio, picks up on the quality of production throughout as well as the contributions made by Copywrite himself and the standard of UK and US artists featuring on this particular release

This isnt a release with international features for the sake of it – artists such as Iron Braydz & Crooked I, Genesis Elijah & Royce da 5 9, Akala & Sonny Seeza, Mystro, S.A.S. & Sean Price, Bigz Flygerian & Inspectah Deck and many more standing shoulder to shoulder throughout makes this a cut above the norm.

Its unprecedented to have this level of international collaboration on an independent hip hop release where the standard remains so consistently high, a fact that’s not missed in the article

Latest UK online magazine to review the new album by Ohio’s Copywrite “God Save The King (Proper English Version)”

This time Scott Ronan gives it the 4 star treatment for WhatCulture

He gives a full track by track analysis, picking up on the wordplay and metaphors on display throughout, the dope production and again that international blend of high quality UK and Stateside Emcees complimenting each other on this imaginative release

He summarises

All in all a very strong Hip Hop album. It provides strong Boom Bap beats that sound great in my car with interesting talented lyricists. Copywrite has always been a great lyricist who has earned his underground stripes but with this album he has shown his respect for UK hip-hop by including so many of the dopest UK emcees. Copywrite is a talented battle emcees who uses detailed metaphors and snappy punch lines all over this album. The list of guests help to make this a good strong album. Easily a four out of five.
