On the very slim list of good things about 2020, the dystopian shit show we’re living through is actually kind of the perfect backdrop for the reappearance of Babylon Dead. ‘Nineteen84’ features J Man on acerbic form with the kind of enraged ragga-rap flows that make BD unique. Illinformed smashing the beats side of the equation out the park as expected.
New LP Book Of The Dead drops on RLD Records on September 4th. The list of features is mad.
Heavy new single ‘I Can Be’ taken from the Gee Bag x Illinformed LP Respect Ya Elders! Available on revorg.co.uk.
The first track to surface off Respect Ya Elders from Gee Bag and Illinformed. ‘Benjamin Button’ is exactly as dope as you’d expect from the two established greats. Pre-orders from Revorg Records available here.
‘If I Said It’, newest track from the Green Brick Records stable manages to be dreamlike and hard at the same time. Unsurprisingly, as the hugely prolific Illinformed is the man responsible, the beat bangs. Gritty vocal from Crossbow T makes the finished product something ominously dope. More from Green Brick soon please!
Check out the video we shot for Mobin’ the second visual lifted from Joey Paro‘s ‘Victory Gin’ which is produced entirely by Illinformed. Mobin’ features Split Prophets crew mates Datkid and Res One and was filmed in Barcelona, London and Bristol.
Did someone say summer? As we embrace with wide open arms the joys that come hand-in-hand with the British population’s best loved, most highly-anticipated season, team UKHH are preparing to do rounds of some of most exciting festivals the UK (and beyond) have to offer. In April we announced some of the antics we’ve got planned for Nozstock—thefirst strand of this years UKHH Summer Sickness—and now we’re proud to say we’re adding the mad universe that is Boomtown Fair to the roster.
Undeniably one of the strongest branches of the UK’s festival tree, Boomtown boasts the most impressive, all-genre encompassing lineup going—and best believe that includes a whole load of hip hop. While huge names such as Ms. Lauryn Hill and The Streets will be seen headlining on the Lions Den stage, a mad mix of hip hop-and-rap based acts will be making appearances across various districts.
While the lineup proudly dons some exciting artists who’ll be flying overseas to perform this year, it should come as no surprise that it also boasts a tasty portion of the bounties of talent from right here in the UK.
Last year saw performances ranging between likes of heavy weight Lowkey, to the UK hip hop get-about that is Dr Syntax, through to Lost Scroll Records’ Creatures of Habit comprised of none other than Sean Peng, Eric the Red, and Illinformed. (We even shot visuals on site for Peng and Illinformed’s track ‘Third Eye’, which you can check below).
Boomtown have stayed true to that pattern of showcasing a range of UK talent and this year we’re especially gassed to see sets from man of the moment slowthai, the ever-rising star Little Simz (a personal favourite here at UKHH), a High Focus takeover which is sure to pop off, and of course, a tonne of other heads that’ll be showing face across the festival.
Stay locked over the coming weeks for our full length guide of what Boomtown has on offer for hip hop heads this year. We’ll also be speaking in depth with the team at Poco Loco, the main venue for hip hop and its associate genres, about what antics they’ve got in store this year, and what goes into making the magic happen.
The second single from the forthcoming Sean Peng & Illinformed album Trips To The Medicine Cabinet dropping 1st May 2019
The wait is finally over! Ahead of the release of their collaborative album Trips To The Medicine Cabinet, we’re very proud to drop the visual for Sean Peng & Illinformed‘s ‘Third Eye’. The debut single from the project features both Peng and Illinformed smashing the granny out of respective bars and production duties and is a seriously promising indicator of what the album has in store.
We shot the video all the way back in August of 2018 at the mighty Boomtown Fair and have been excitedly waiting to share it since.
