NEXT GIG!! Sat 4th June, QE @ Supa Dupa Fly - Plan B, Brixton

Yes, yes, yes...maybe...no totally...here's the next giggidy gig, thankfully just round the corner from home - take note, young girls - it's also economically sensible to go home with the band after the gig...

Here's some more deets...

QUEENS ENGLISH GONNA TURN OFF YO RADIO

What’s this, what’s this?? Queens English dun got another gig! Sponsored, nonetheless!?

Turn Off The Radio, beating in the heart of East-London, is a bi-monthly showcase of the best up-and-coming musical talent in land. It’s been trundling along since 2005 and previous performers have included Hatcham Social, Jack Penate, and now our very own Queens English.

There aint' no beef, blaad! Deptford vs Dalston!

So, once again, Leon Rhymes drops some more fatness freestyling nonsense to big up what will be another massive night! Choice...

It's been a hectic 7 days in the Rhymes calendar and now with the weekend well and truly out of the way let the next 7 begin!

Rap Exploitated Sessionism - Pikey & Rhymes Hit Ipswich

Having missed my weekly burnout capoiera training session, one passing me in the street could mistake me for a largered up, shit monkey, looking for a fight. They would not be too far wrong. However, today I am not so angry, as last night I witnessed a great many things that made me happy to be ME. And involved in the UK Hip Hop scene.

So yesterday, myself, Rhymes and Pikey Esquire, headed to the home county city of Ipswich. On entering the city limits, one might be mistaken for thinking that this is just another English Upper-middle class hick-town with nowt that much going on, except the odd lynching of Tamil immigrants and some 'oik' deigning to vote anything except Tory. And for the most part, you'd be right.

Beat this Meet

Once in a while, a club night comes along and makes you think, "Jesus shitting christ, that was fucking awesome." I remember that feeling the first time I went to Movement, the first time I went to Procession Sessions (Birmingham, for thems who don't know!), the first time I went to Troublevision. And kick me in the appendix, if I didn't feel it at Beat Redemption, Bournemouth's hot-to-mother-fuxxin-trot Dub'n'Drums'n'Bass earth smasher...
