UK Hip hop:
Raw Talent
Raw UK hip hop talent, A blend of rythem and logic across between Busta Rymes and Talib qweli. Show & AG plus the outsiderz in a cipher with Canibus and Mad skillz. Lyricist Lounge and sound bombing on a £10 bag mixtape by DJ lowie Slippers.
I first performed at DeMontfort University back in 2000; from part of Manchester Rasputin first dropped rhymes at a DJ Kool herc night in Leicester with fello MC Mischief (Figures of Speech)
From there he got connected with some of the local MC's in leicester and started freestyling at Friday night event held at Castle rock in Leicester. This led to other nights of both open mic and general hip hop ciphers.
he then met up with Sir Smurf Little (The Colony) from Hackny and Apoc The Main Roc from leicester. In 2002-3 he helped with representing the Beat Poetry show on Demon FM for two seasons using other DJ's and rappers as guests the shows was very succesfull.
After University both Rasputin and Mischief moved back to manchester there concentrating ..ing an EP and album, still holding it down at open mic nights and other events, such as sku bar, mint lounge and Music box nights and local night organised.
Little Ne and Rasputin have friend since secondary school, little ne who was also an MC joined the movement for true UK hip hop MC's the Figures of Speech. Monk, Mischief and Lile ne
More to come.. Peace - Uk Hip Hop

Your tracks are tuff Ras.... The only thing is the vocal sound where did you record it? I'm confident that holding some recording and mixing sessions will give your tracks the shine they deserve bro. (hope you dont mind me sayin' ..... just like to see good music floss like it should and get the attention the material deserves)
