VerbalSwardz-PremiereHipHop

Based in New York and run by executive editor Sunez, online publication Premiere Hip Hop are well known to cover hip hop with a focus on conscientious lyricism, superior rhyme skillz and wordplay and on point production – the key elements whether drawing from a traditional or more contemporary overall sound.

With a long time appreciation of UK crew Triple Darkness, they have run the rule over their latest member Iron Braydz’ new EP “Verbal sWARdz” which released on his Unorthostract label on 14th April 2014 – available at http://braydz.bandcamp.com

The review reflects Sunez’ own passion for the artform, setting the background scene in an introduction which ends

“Now across borders and over waters there are the UK Triple Darkness crew of countercultural lyricists that ignite with insight. Their newest member, Iron Braydz strips it all down, keeps the collected fam enlisted as soldiers in verse trenches and gives an EP of concentrated explosions.”

The review works through the 10 tracks produced by Iron Braydz, Ringz of Saturn, Agor & Daniel Taylor and featuring Sean Price, Prince Po, Triple Darkness, Kyza, Skriblah, Phat Kat & DJ Shortee Blitz, and summarizes :

“As part of one of the great crews of importance, sharing lyrics of relevance and fiery inspiration worldwide, Triple Darkness’ Iron Braydz is a war chief cutting heads off devils with no limitation and the deeper understanding the more you listen….With Verbal Swardz, we at least know the real brothers out in the UK are thriving in their own league.”

VerbalSwardz-HipHopInEnglish

North London’s Iron Braydz released his new EP “Verbal sWARdz” on Monday 14th April through his own Unorthostract label. It is available to the public from his BANDCAMP

Although it is only the first of a series of projects planned for the year ahead, whether solo or as part of the city’s crews Triple Darkness & FuFu Gang, it is already shaping up to be one of the hottest British hip hop releases of 2014 having attracted widespread international media attention.

Latest to give their full seal of approval is Hip Hop in English, an online publication dedicated to all things within UK hip hop. They provide a database of artists & producers, and provide reviews, interviews and cover the latest video releases

An opening salvo of “The ferocity of this release is immediately apparent. Wu Tang style old martial arts samples accompany the sounds of tortured men and John Rambo peppering the tracks” precedes an in depth look at the 10 tracks on offer including features by Triple Darkness, Kyza, Skriblah, Price Po, Phat Kat, Sean Price & DJ Shortee Blitz, before summarizing “This is unquestionably an informed, aggressive commentary on the evolution of current social trends. Since the release of ‘Devil May Cry’ and ‘Holla@Braydz’ and of course joining the line-up at Triple Darkness his notoriety within the industry has grown to exceptional levels”

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.”

Read the whole review HERE

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
