Foreign Beggars – United Colours of Beggattron [Exclusive]
Don’t call it a come back, they’ve been here for years. The famous LL Cool J quote would be quite fitting when speaking about U.K Hip-Hop band Foreign Beggars. For those familiar with the music, the blend of beatboxing, turntablism, rapping and producing have made the Foreign Beggars one of the most popular, and recognised Hip-Hop groups in the U.K. Not only have they extended their discography with the release of “United Colours of Beggattron”, they’ve reached out to Europe, America and Asia in a bid to back their much-deserved fame.
United Colours of Beggattron is the fourth full-length studio album from the Foreign Beggars, and possibly one of their most well-produced, and commercially appealing releases to date. Hopefully this will be the most accomplished album the group have released too. With MC’s “Orifrice Vulgatron” and “Metropolis” described as two of the most vicious lyricists in the circuit, you’re always expected to hear nothing but raw passion when you select any Foreign Beggars single. DagNabbit and DJ Nonames complete the group, which is an exciting line-up to say the very least.

Five Things Shyne Needs To Learn About Hip-Hop [Exclusive]
Five Things Shyne Needs To Learn About Hip-Hop. As you’re all aware Shyne was released from a ten-year bid today, which was due to his “involvement” with the Jennifer Lopez / Diddy shooting all those many years ago.He does remain in custody until furher notice. Hip-Hop has quite simply changed. And these are five things Shyne needs to take on board to progress into 2010.
1. Twitter – I’m sure an account has been setup for Shyne already. His circumstances will make an interesting read as he’ll have full control over his messages and comments. We’ll update the blog with his account once we have it.
2. Stay Away From Major Labels – This is of course unless Shyne wants to be paid a minimal signing on fee, then actually accruing damages and losses rather than profit once his album only sells 100k maximum. Independent label and P.R company is the way to go.
3. Create A Track With Auto Tune – Jay-Z declared the death of Auto Tune, however it’s simply not the case. Everybody from Redman to Drake has used the effect, and commercially it seems to work. Look out for a auto tune-based Shyne track shortly.
4. V Logging – We went from radio to websites to blog to vlogs. V Logs are obviously video logs that are quite popular in current campaigns running up to music releases. I can’t see why Shyne wouldn’t explore this option in the forthcoming months.
5. Beef No Longer Works So Stay AWAY From Diddy – We’re tired of beef. Lets be honest. I don’t care about Diddy, and neither does anybody else. Shyne should keep his name out of his mouth, and create the great music we know he can.

Brother Ali – Us [Exclusive]
It’s still quite odd to think an albino homeless man who ever have such a significant impact in the underground Hip-Hop world. Rhymesayers recording artist Brother Ali has faced the trials and tribulations of homelessness, violence, raising a son and many more, yet he continues to produce quality music which has been credited “unique” for a reason. Following the immense success of “The Undisputed Truth” which was quite easily my personal favourite album of 2007, and the new album “Us” has set expectations higher than ever before.

Now Fabolous made sure that #yungbergshead was a trending topic on Twitter, which had the rap-star respond about Fabolous’ chipped tooth. Check out the screenshots below.
