Eastborn & The 13th Tribe - The Irony

Once in a while some great underground rap makes its way to my ears. This time its not the usual American stuff, like Sage Francis, Sixtoo, or Shadow Huntaz, although it has some innovative vocal manipulations and twisted beats like Shadow Huntaz. No this is some homegrown shit direct from Glasgow, Scotland, not quite the rap mecca, but it sure does breed some forward thinking electronic acts, such as our providers here, Eastborn on the lyricals, and The 13th Tribe taking them vocals and chopping and screwing them into some mad rhythms over his crunchy headnodding Southeast Asian influenced track. Big pressure from two great artists, and even more props goes to them for giving the proceeds of this track to the Haiti earthquake aid.

Only £1.50 and come in lots of formats for you to choose. I got the FLAC. Support the people of Haiti & get a cool tune along with it.

The 13th Tribe - Reconstruct The Self

A wicked free number from my mate The 13th Tribe, a deep bassy backdrop to some great vocals on knowing yourself, and not to sell out to corporate greed.

Also via his blog, I came across this, The Tinariwen, a group of Libyan soldiers who put down the guns and picked up the guitars.
