I mean, I always thought the Chuckle Brothers were better rappers than Tinchy Stryder, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Shady Cypher 2014

Slaughterhouse! Yelawolf! Eminem! Accapella.

Frankly, it's the only thing in hip hop worth listening to these days. I haven't heard any decent hip hop for a long long time.

So I listened to the steam of the new Wu-Tang album, A Better Tomorrow.

36 Chambers it certainly is not. Wu-Tang Forever it is not. The W it is not. Iron Flag it kinda is. 8 Diagrams it sorta is too.

And by that I mean, it ain't good.

As an aside it has the dubious pleasure of the first album I've ever heard of where The Internet People have had a damn good complain about the font on the album cover.

I've been enjoying Run the Jewels. Listen to Run the Jewels. It's El-P from Company Flow and Killer Mike.

This might be old hat to folks given that it was released back in 2010 but there's a compilation album floating around that pairs the Wu-Tang and various affiliates with some of the most brutal dubstep I've ever heard and, unsurprisingly, it's fucking awesome. There's an atmosphere of subtle evil lurking over the entire thing that makes for compelling listening and it comes very recommended based on the few listens I've given it so far.

Fans of not supporting music artists might wish to know that the album is also on Spotify.

And I agree with Bamba, it's good and properly brutal.

D'Angelo's new album, Black Messiah, is pretty good. If you liked Voodoo, like how I liked Voodoo, you will like Black Messiah.

I've got a weird 1st-love story behind Voodoo so it has a strange teleportation influence over my brain area though; so to have an album from D'ange that sounds like D'ange from 14 odd years ago, or however long it's been, this new album conjures up old memories for me despite being new. Strange old world.

I quite enjoyed reading about Liquid Swords there. I didn't even know that "I Gotcha Back" had a video nor that Shogun Assassin skits, which are so instrumental to the album, were thrown in at the eleventh hour.

I have Lonewolf & Babycart on DVD because of that album. I bloody love Liquid Swords and Babycart.

Frank Turner fanboy that I am, I'm onto my sixth or seventh listening of his latest album 'Positive songs for negative people' (the title felt very :attitude:). Some great anthems there, and I think 'Get Better' is going to become one of my set marching songs alongside the New Pornographers' 'Use it'.

Been so heavily into Frank that I haven't actually taken the cellophane off the new 'Bellowhead' yet.

On a recent YouTube rip I came across Chelsea Wolfe and specifically her new album Abyss. It's none-more-bleak industrial folk with a dollop of PJ Harvey and it's fucking amazing. Utterly emotionally punishing and a perfect fit for wandering around in the dreichness of a UK winter.

they're a kinda jazz funk band, playing Wu-Tang songs, largely no lyrics. Sounds pleasingly cinematic and good to work to.

We went to see Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott last night. It was really good, and the set list had the good stuff in from the Beautiful South (have fun, petfect 10, don't narry her etc), housemartins and a few from their 2015 album. I would recommend going. (Also, 13500 people at £30 a ticket is a hell of an earner). I'd recommend the album, too.

My only real gripe if the evening is with the support band. THis one in particular ("Trudy") wasn't any good at all. The singer spent his time mumbling incoherently or hacking at a guitar and shouting. I dislike support bands because I haven't paid to watch them and it is rare that they are any good (exception: REM ar Cardiff Arms Park in 1995 had Del Amitri, Belly and The Cranberries. This was superb). And it means I have to wait longer to see the people I have paid to see. Anyways, this didn't detract all that much from the evening.

It was in the soundtrack to that film that was great that I'd forgotten, but it wasn't going to be released. They've released it in memoriam of Jo Cox, which is rather nice.

So Jay-Z has dropped a new album overnight called 4:44. I haven't heard it but I've seen the video for "The Story of OJ" which can also be viewed at https://streamable.com/frvxd for anyone interested. It's not exactly bling Jay-Z, nor is it directly about OJ. NO I.D. the beat. Cuphead on the visuals, apparently.
