One T shirt, Three MC's and One DJ

With classic joints like Paul Revere and Sabotage and albums like Ill Communication and Paul's Boutique, The Beastie Boys are in our hall of fame of seminal Hip Hop bands.

Their classic 1986 debut album, Licensed to Ill, the first rap album to top the Billboard charts has reached diamnond status, selling 10 million copies. They have been one of the longest running Hip Hop bands and one of four to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Regardless of the stats, in my opinion, their unchanged style of delivery with something that was ahead of time, made them unique, especially in todays Hip Hop. And they made some of my favourite instrumentals!

Sadly, the band is no more, due to the untimely death of Adam Yauch, aka MCA on 4th May, 2012. Featuring Ad Rock, MCA, Mike D and DJ Mix Master Mike, who joined the group on their 5th album, Hello Nasty and the title is from one of the tracks from that album.

The Delegates Of Rhyme - Look At What They do f. Greg Blackman

The Delegates Of Rhyme return with their new single “Look At What They Do". The Bristol and Brixton based team of producer Vice and lyricist Donnie Numeric since 2011, with their release of the mixture version of “Spark” have been busy in the lab, developing a sound that involves a different approach. Basing a number of tracks on live instrumentation, and developing it into original, interesting Hip Hop, the duo have finally completed their highly anticipated album “Assemblage”, which is due for release later this year.
Based on their previous tracks and their most recent work, I'm really looking forward to it.

“Love and Hate” T shirt Remix – A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, in the beginning of the 3rd uchi album, there was a T shirt design called Love and Hate. The designer loved this design and it was his favourite for a long, long time. He loved it so much, he made a limited edition art print, much bigger and more elaborate than the original T shirt design. The T shirt was very popular and the print was received well by all who witnessed it. Over time, all but one of the prints sold out, but the T shirt was still very popular.
