VerbalSwardz-Sampleface

The new EP “Verbal sWARdz” by north London Emcee & producer Iron Braydz releases a week today, Monday 14th April.

The first in a series of releases for the Triple Darkness & FuFu Gang member this year, it’s a very strong marker for what lies ahead for the rapper who also has an acting role in a new film “Night Bus” shot by award winning director Simon Baker due out later in 2014.

There has been extensive international media interest in the release, the latest of which comes via a review by British online publication Sampleface

Contributor Taytula Burke opens the article “His past two offerings Devil May Cry and Holla @ Braydz saw the NW10 rapper prove that being a student of the game can pay off — particularly when wordplay and lyricism become synonymous with your name. So is it reasonable to expect that tracks that even he previously slept on would be worth the time of day? Abso-frickin’-lutely.”

The EP is largely self produced and includes features by Prince Po, Sean Price, Phat Kat, Kyza, Skriblah and several of his fellow Triple Darkness members. He will be launching the official audio stream of the entire EP tomorrow, Tuesday 8th April, at midday (GMT) premiered by Shout 4 Music as part of their feature on him, so look out for that at www.shout4music.com

The EP releases to the public on 14th April, and to celebrate he will also be launching a new video for Rambo on that day, shot in London last week by Global Faction.

Keep up to date with him on twitter @Braydz and connect with the magazine @Sampleface & Taytula @Taykeova

Originally out of Long Beach California and currently resident in Kansas, the rapper has put several years’ work into this his sophomore release, and it includes all the key qualities of an authentic hip hop album – skilled lyricism and wordplay, quality beats and turntablism, and a well chosen selection of special guest features

The album is in digital and physical CD formats, available from a wide range of online stores including Amazon, UGHH.com, iTunes, CD Universe, Virgin Media and many more.

Check the video trailer featuring the track “The Get Back” produced by Skammadix where Maddox is joined on the mic by King Magnetic
