Midweek Bangers

JOEY BADA$$- KILLUMINATI 
A modest three minute track. The somewhat fairy tale melody at the intro will take you back to the safe haven of your mother's womb.
It was the hit track off Joey's 1999 album and anyone with extra time on their hands over the weekend are strongly recommended to give it a listen. It should prove a welcome break from an omnibus of facebook "trolling".

LORD FINESSE- CHECK THE METHOD
A man renowned for his collaborations but equally as impressive as a stand alone artist.
 Some of the lyrics off this track feature in Big L's Da Graveyard but the beat on the original does more justice for the edification of Lord Finesse as one of the top East Coast MC's.

BIG PUN- I AINT A PLAYER

Arguably the best example for any case in favor of Pun's diversity within his own particular utopia of rap. Taken from his meticulous Capital Punishment, the track contains the highly veracious speed of lyrics the Peurto Rican became famous for. Of particular interest within the track is the sub-laying sample extracted from the O'Jay's song Darlin' Darlin' Baby.

THE STREETS- HAS IT COME TO THIS?
Mike Skinner and his menagerie will be back during this year's festival season, with performances already confirmed for Glastonbury and Leeds/Reading. Anyone who is anyone on the U.K grime scene has heard of Skinner's Original Pirate Material, one of the great catalysts in Britain during the early 00's of rap.
This track epitomizes the Two-step genre at it's peak.

DIZZIE RASCAL- STOP DAT

Many are quick to dismiss Dizzy's Boy in Da Corner as his prestige continues to grow with no signs of slowing down.
In 2011 at the Leeds festival he opened with this and it sent the crowd into an riotous state of euphoria. Never forget the Boy behind the man, this song shows Dizzy at his rawest and was what what made many fall in love with his music.
