Britcore Hip Hop

I always look back to the period of 1988-1993 as that was the time where UK hip hop started to take an artform & make it it's own. The rhymes & beats sounded a lot harsher (& at times faster!) than our American counterparts.


I remember being able to go to a record shop (remember them?) & pick up at least 3-4 new independant releases every Saturday & having to miss out on loads of others. To this day I find it amazing how a large number of these acts came out & sold loads of units in the UK & mainland Europe then fell by the wayside into obscurity. Many made the jump from their Hip Hop roots to the emerging Drum & Bass scene and some even popped up a few years later when UK Garage became big.


I've uploaded a whopping 35 tracks from that period that many in UK hip hop look to as the 'glory days'.

So get your downloads on here...

Dope Inc

Back in 1991 a Hip Hop group from Aberdeen, Scotland made a 2 track 12" single. The A side was a track called "The Frontal Attack", which was based on the subject of the unfair Poll Tax. A tax that was imposed by Margaret Thatcher's government on the Scottish nation a year before it was unleashed on the rest of the UK. This should never have been allowed to happen & have Scotland be the Guinea Pig.

Anyway before I start my old rant on the reasons why it was unfair I need to realise that this should be about the music, d:-). So if you want to check this tune.....

Major Threat - Northside EP

This was my second vinyl release. I released this record myself, so distribution wouldn't have been very good. Therefore it makes it quite hard to find. I still have a limited number of these left lying around on 12"

Old School Scottish Hip Hop

Alright People?

I've started a blog page here to let people listen to, download or find out more about the Scottish scene. Not only that but any other random madness that comes to my mind. So keep checking to see what I post up from now on.

First off, I've released records in the past that some people will find hard to seek out. So I've up'ed these in various places before & thought it would be good to get it all in one place...

This was my first release...
