Recent Happenings

I've been a little quiet on here for the last month or so, I had a lot going on! So here's a little catchup on some of the best bits I neglected to tell you about...

A definite highlight of the last month or so was djing two nights in a row at the infamous Jazz Cafe in London - First up was a set supporting one of hip hop's all time greatest MCs, the legendary Big Daddy Kane, pictured with me above! He gave an incredible show as always, and the event presented with me with a rare opportunity to play a load of my favourite 80's & early 90's hip hop tracks, including a best of Juice Crew set. The following night I was back at the Jazz Cafe to spin all eras Hip Hop & R'n'B videos, yes videos! at the new Doctors Orders A/V night, I'm back at it there again this coming Friday night, more on that in a bit...

Another highlight of the month was headlining the fresh new Hip Hop/RnB night 'Next Level' in Stoke Newington - look out for these guys, they certainly know how to throw a party, and this one allowed me to go where I wanted to musically - playing a wide range of styles covering all eras of hip hop & rnb, from the classics right up to present day trap bangers and everything in between! Look out for future collaborations with these guys, I promise I will give you more notice next time!

Finally I have good news for those missing the Droppin' Science Show ! We will be back putting out regular mixes of the freshest hip hop around this June, in a new and improved format! Stay tuned...

Jay Electronica Spitting 'Exhibit A' Live @ Jazz Cafe [Video] & Gig Review

I headed down to the Jazz Cafe last Wednesday to witness hip-hop's fastest rising star of the moment, Jay Electronica.

I rocked up just in time to catch the end of Eglo record's Fatima's set, her voice sounding just as powerful live as it is on wax. If ya don't know, check out her track 'kleer' produced by Funkineven, & preview her incredible-sounding forthcoming ep here featuring Dam Funk. Next up K-lashnekoff performed a short set including classics such as 'Murder' & his take on 'Welcome to Jamrock' - a few embarrassing slips aside (forgetting the lyrics to his new single probably wasn't a career highlight) -he was a welcome surprise, & reminded me just how powerful his voice & flow are, I'll definitely be checking for his new LP out soon.

After K-Lash there was a good hour & a half wait 'til the main act.. I heard many impatient comments from the audience, but I was personally happy as a pig in shit wildin' out to a killer set by Benji B - a fine choice of underground hip hop classics (big props to anyone dropping 'The Enemy' by Big L & Fat Joe), some funk/disco rarities & a good half hour of well-chosen Dilla productions.

And so on to the man of the moment, Jay Electronica eventually stepped to the stage fully suited up, & proceeded to give one of the finest performances I've heard for a long time to be delivered by a simple MC & DJ combo (not that the dj did much!). His delivery was clear, his energy was as up as you'd expect from a man riding the wave of newly found stardom, the crowd was super hyped, & dude straight killed it. I was much-relieved to discover him to be as great a performer as he is an MC, & would probably make a half-decent comedian, offering shots of jack to nearby punters, & getting away with asking all the ladies in the house to make noise if they enjoy a little mild choking during sex! Jay performed a dope selection of his material, but of course Exhibit's A & C were the joints that really shut it down, with most of the crowd rapping along to the whole tracks (big up London for knowing our shit!). If he makes a return to these shores anytime soon, don't miss out.

Peep the video above, taken from the second night's performance (& pinched with love from DJ Semtex's blog) for a taste - & download his recent 'Victory' mixtape free of charge here.
