Nu Music Free

Tallaght man Nu-Centz has kindly uploaded his 2006 unreleased album 'Why Be Modest?' to give fans the opportunity to hear more of his back catalogue. This is undoubtedly one of the best downloads of '09 if you like your Irish hip hop. The three years that have passed since it's recording do not appear to have affected the quality of this LP. Features from Redzer, Terawrizt, Collie, GMC, Rawsoul, Diligenz, Ratman & an exceptional verse from Maverick Sabre should cement this as a classic within Ireland. The production is incredibly tight, Scooby, Danny Diggs, Sub-X and more lend a helping hand to accompany Nuie's style. The beat choice is impeccable and really deserves a listen, Nu-Centz flows with ease and delivers some punchy verses on every track.

You'd be mad to miss this download!

Also in other news, I know it's a little late but the sentiment still rings true. Urban Intelligence frontman Lunitic died quite recently and it was a total shock to the Irish hip hop scene. He was suffering from heart problems and died at the age of 24. He has left a long lasting impression with hip hop fans all across Ireland and further afield. Making some of the scene's most memorable tracks and bringing hip hop to audiences who might never have heard an Irish accent rapping before.
I'd like to pay my own respects, as Urban Intelligence was the first time I ever came across hip hop being produced in Ireland. May your music let your memory live on!

It's Alot: Pow Pow Vs Merkle Man

With the weather being so good recently it was inevitable that tempers would flare up too. With the Wiley and Skepta dubs for each other coming to a quick close after their recent collaboration there was an empty space in the clashing arena. Lethal Bizzle and Jammer have been the next two emcee's to step into the spotlight which all started after Bizzle and Ozzie B pasted by the 1Xtra towers.

Jammer then made it known that he wasn't happy with everything Bizzle had been saying on Westwood, making it clear via Youtube.

Shoutout to GrimeDaily who are putting in a lot of work at the moment with the videos. Obviously not to be one sided on the debate they had to go out and get a response from Bizzle who intensifies the situation in this next video

Lethal Bizzle replies to Jammer


With 3 extra video's and this shorter clip of Jammer topless screaming 'Everybody suck ya mudda' It gets a bit much of just hype talking into a camera but the onslaught and name dropping continues
