New single taken from Melanin 9’s new album “Magna Carta” which releases on 3rd December on Red Snow Records.

The London emcee has become of the UK’s most respected lyricists since releasing his High Fidelity and 144,000 mixtapes, his work with Triple Darkness and live appearances at the renowned End of the Weak events and opening for artists such as Styles P, Immortal Technique and Wu Tang

His reputation for conscientious rhymes and intelligent wordplay has resulted in an ever growing fanbase in the UK and overseas, striking a chord with those who appreciate the “Golden Era” of hip hop.

The new release Landslide, produced by Anatomy and cuts by Evil Ed, follows on from the launch of his recent video for Organised Democracy.

Look out for further special releases and media coverage over the coming weeks and months, as Melanin 9 also puts together final plans for his album launch at Vibe Bar in London on 23rd November to mark the release.

Pre – orders of the CD version of the album can be placed via his site www.m9ether.bandcamp.com and those will be delivered a week ahead of the general public release as a mark of appreciation to his loyal support

JAMIESON : NEW VIDEO & SINGLE “Last Time I Saw You”

London’s Jamieson drops yet another freestyle and video, in what’s been one of the most prolific periods for output from this MC who in his own words is on his own “foreign exchange”, now on the hard grind in New York City.

He lets loose on this one “Last Time I Saw You” over a jumpin hip hop beat, and its always good to hear someone with the flow skills go in with the shackles removed.

He released the first track “I Told You So” from his new EP “I Came I Saw Volume 3” last week, with a lot more to follow in the next couple of months. He has been in the studio with various other artists recently, among them London’s super producer Beat Butcha, so it looks like being a busy 2012.

Together with the video for “Last Time I Saw you”, also check out footage of him performing live at NYC’s famous SOB’s “Who’s Next” Hot 97 showcase.
