Elephantitus


At last and after a lot of headaches the Elephantitus album project was completed in June 2014.
Stream and download it here.
Massive shouts to DJ279 who gave 'The Theme' (changed to The Anthem for album version) featuring my man Chima Anya it's first Radio Play on Choice FM, soon after we'd created the track.....over a year later and the album project was completed and another huge shout goes to Shay D & DJ Shorty who gave it a good full pull up at the top of thier very dope "LC" show on ITCH FM.






As part of the Fat Gold Chain crew we had a little celebration of the album release at The Red Lion in Shoreditch; a great party, look out for hopefully more FGC's and more performances of the album at a spot near you soon!

The Unstabilized Years

A highly lyrical outing; the Unstabalized project (click for full album download) emerged after a week staying with DJ Nifty back in Ipswich drinking beers and slamming together huge notebooks of rhymes accumulated from years in being in Brum with a selection of Nifty's bangingest beats. Although we're very pleased with the project, the rough edges meant we never really promoted it to the fullest; so now we take it back; download the whole album here or check out a few of the cuts. The artwork was also a headache; we finally settled on the Text mash up version but have included here a couple of my own, horrendous, original designs!

Bright Eyes from Solocypher on Myspace.




 Birmingham is a great city and I have many memories of the place as a student of university and hip hop. Rocking the Mic at Drop Beats Not Bombs, Heducation and Scratch Club to an audience who always appreciate lyrical content and alongside fearsome emcees; the city taught me a lot about life. The 'Unstabilized' album is a testament to that mixed in with the random verbal torrents of rap I was developing at the time.




Fat Gold Chain & London Town

Shouts to everyone who's repped alongside me on mics during my time in London since 2010; check the videos of me warming up for Homeboy Sandman as part of Fat Gold Chain and then as part of LeeN's Elite Cypher Leagues where underground emcees come to smash the mic down with freesyles and pre-writtens...coming in at 6:04 with a Guiness inspired freestyle!
