VerbalSwardz-HHKMag

HHK Magazine, previously known as Hip Hop Kings, has been a long time supporter of quality British and international hip hop and rap artists, highlighting the latest video & audio releases, producing album reviews, and publishing exclusive written and filmed content including interviews.

They have begun a new series “25 Things”, an interesting insight into facts about a new release and artist previously unknown. Latest to feature is north London’s Iron Braydz who releases his new EP “Verbal sWARdz” on 14th April

In this article he explains how he decided on the name for the EP, how he recorded the beats, why a comment by English Frank influenced a verse in the track Crowbar Head Topper, the way in which his feelings on the build up of racial tensions in London formed much of the subject matter and the reasons why the EP almost never saw the light of day.

All of that & much more can be read HERE

There has been a huge level of media interest in this release in recent weeks, publications in the United States, Canada, UK & Europe will all be covering in the weeks ahead. It’s a quality mix of hip hop production in the main supplied by Iron Braydz and superior lyricism from the man himself augmented by the features from Sean Price, Prince Po, Triple Darkness, Kyza, Skriblah and Phat Kat….with a special guest appearance by Kiss FM’s DJ Shortee Blitz

Check out his track “Millennium” featuring Prince Po

London rapper and producer Apex Zero released his debut solo album “Reality Provoking Liberation” on 28th October.

It received many plaudits for addressing a wide range of political and social aspects, the production and also the powerful delivery which has become a recognized signature for the young MC.

Produced by Skammadix with quality turntablism courtesy of fellow Red Phone labelmate TMB, Maddox is joined on the mic by Queensborough veteran Tragedy Khadafi, as they take it in turns to verbally tear into the beat like knives through butter.

The album also includes features from King Magnetic, Reef The Lost Cauze, Swann and the UK’s Edd Bundy, with further production supplied by a host of names including Snowgoons’ Sicknature, C Lance (Jedi Mind Tricks), Vanderslice, Nemesis and many more.

Having already performed an exclusive freestyle video for leading British online hip hop site UKHH.COM some weeks ago, their contributor Ethan Everton has also now reviewed the album Reality Provoking Liberation which released on 28th October.

The article is yet another endorsement among many publications who have covered the release in the past couple of months, opening “Potentially the rawest truths that you’ll hear on record for the remainder of the year, the philosophies behind the wordplay in Apex Zero’s almost entirely self-produced début album Reality Provoking Liberation is if anything a reflective experience for any listener.”

It is in fact a very in depth appraisal of the album, delving into the finer points of the tracks and is summarized “As stated at the beginning, this is more than an just album to muse too. It’s intention is to bring about a new mentally aware consciousness that’s being prohibited in ways unimaginable.”

Read the whole feature HERE

This latest coverage comes at the beginning of the week which finally leads up to the long awaited album launch party event. It takes place this Saturday, 7th December, from 8pm – 1am upstairs at The Vibe Bar, 91 Brick Lane, Shoreditch, London E1 6QL.

Apex has been busy in recent weeks fine tuning his set which will be performed with a live band. Also performing on the night will be Caxton Press & Triple Darkness member Iron Braydz. Itch FM’s DJ A. Gee will be on the 1’s & 2’s with Peaches the regular Hoochinoo host. Entry is £5.00 on the door with the nearest tube station being Aldgate East, around a 5 minute walk from the venue. It’s advised to bring photographic I.D. for the event in line with most venues’ entrance policy.

It’s sure to be one of the London’s hip hop events of the month, so definitely not one to miss for all hip hop heads in the area

Also look out for the release this week of a brand new track “Transcendental Emcee”, not on the album but especially recorded to mark the event.

Meantime, check out the video of his freestyle which was featured on UKHH.Com earlier in the autumn
