I just picked up a copy of DJ Vadim's follow up ep on jazz fudge records
'Headz aint ready'.. this is real cool. That typical slow blunted beat sound
taken to the extreme. Vadim certainly knows his hip hop. Selected tracks
worthy of mention include 'Relax with pep III' (and you thought In/Flux
was slow!), 'The breakz', and 'Relaz with pep V).. but it's all good but
rateher an indulgence than dancefloor type shit.

Finally picked up Microphone Pager's 'Rappers are Danger' EP after
hearing them on that planet rap compilation and muro on the
Multidirections 1. This EP features the talents of Souls of Mischief. Can
not wait to hear the album.

also, Special ED's new Revelations LP. Good to see him make a come back,
and for the most part it's quite successfull, but yet again, another hip
hop album that seems to have missed the mark slightly.. saying that, this
kid has allways had skills and it would be great to see him hook up with
some cool producers.. Don't sleep this time around!
