He recently spoke to London journalist Taytula Burke for the UK’s online publication God is in the TV Magazine where he discussed the influence of his mother’s love of hip hop & in particular Tupac, his dedication & work ethic for music, and the inspiration J Cole’s self produced album has been in his own approach.

Constant Deviants release their new album “Avant Garde” on 12th May through their own Six2Six label. It will be available worldwide on vinyl, CD and digital formats.

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of their debut 12″ classic single “Competition Catch Speed Knots” when they first came together by performing at NY college parties. Then based in Brooklyn and New Jersey, they also worked on seperate projects for Arista and Roc-A-Fella before reforming specifically as a group in 2009 and setting up their own label

Their focus both as artists and a label on the traditional elements of hip hop helped them build strongly with the European market where there has always been a long standing appreciation for this style. This led to developing a working relationship with Swiss label SWC Records, releasing projects under the name Trilateral Commission, most recently the “Swiss Banks” movie. The soundtrack uses their album with the visual concept based on the best selling novel of the same name. M.I. plays an acting role in the film.

Over the past few months, there has been widespread interest in the release and their “3Stylez” video series, a trilogy of freestyles showing M.I. and DJ Cutt performing live and direct as hip hop intended. The first two videos “Heavy Artillery” and “Art of War” were released in April. Their single “Breathin” registered #1 in the college radio charts and featured in the UK’s print publication DJ Magazine, with a subsequent bonus joint “Just Make Music” also getting regular spins. They’ve already featured in various international publications with much more to come.

M.I., now based in Baltimore, was also one of the guests talking hip hop & politics with SiriusXM’s Jon Leiberman for his new online tv show “Rapping with Leiberman”. You will also be able to watch him live on Florida’s 4ManKind TV Show this coming Tuesday 5th May from 8pm EST via Universe Miami as well as hear him on as a guest of Del City Radio (Florida) and JHart’s Big Bang Radio Show on the UK’s Break London station.

Ande-LesPetitesChroniques

Southern rapper & producer Ande Bishop releases his debut EP, entitled “Ocean$ – Extended Play” on 19th May.

The most recent signing to the ever expanding Seven 13 Entertainment, he’s being tipped by many as one of the hottest talents to emerge from the Atlanta area, due to his fresh sound and approach which is down in no small way to the variety of influences he grew up with.

On the production front he started by mixing classic soul and r&b with some Southern flavours, and growing up listening to classic hip hop artists Tupac and Blu with those closer to home such as T.I. has developed a style which is already drawing some early comparisons to Outkast and Isaiah Rashad.

French online “Les Petites Chroniques”, translated as “the little reviews” produce a series of snapshot summaries of various releases, and have just published this one for Ande’s new EP. The summary “Cet EP est parfiat pour l’apero” reflects that the EP is perfect for the “Apero” tradition of a few summer drinks in the early evening due to it’s overall chilled sound.

YOU CAN READ THE REVIEW ON THE SITE HERE

Check out the stream of his latest single “OLDJAYZVIDEOS” which received the seal of approval from Rick Ross who shared it on his own page
