Music Video: Plan B - The Recluse
Even though my first exposure to this dude was as one of the few bright lights on an otherwise slightly dodgy grime music comp, been diggin' what this dude has been doing lately. This is the official video for Plan B's new single, "The Recluse." The intro is a teaser of music from his forthcoming, The Ballad of Belmarsh.

New Music: The Delusionists - Digital Connects (prod. Jon Phonics)
I told y'all before: flattery will get you everywhere! UK group, The Delusionists has taken a cue from GZA's "Labels" and written an ode to their favorite rap blogs including yours truly's hip hop-ish daily screed, The Kitchen. Check it:
This rap shit Beats Laying About, so I had to take a minute dedicated a shout,
To every Hip Hop Connection Digital direction providers
Who act like a Sensei and guide us.
Through these Hip Hop Chronicles of Riddick like Vin Diesel
U-Music buffs must have been puffing them Cocaine Blunts (just a quick toke),
Hip Hop Isn’t Dead, nah it just eloped to the Big Smoke.
Believe the Hip Hop Hype Dog,
If you ain’t heard of us you ain’t checking for the right blog.
Oh Word? You never heard the fly chatter
Of a Bonafide nutter on a Certified Banger?
My Style43 times nanger than most,
To redefine The Meaning of Dope rhyme patterns and quotes.
The Underground Strikes Back from the great depression
With Bare Beats in them Basement Sessions.
You might hear one or 2DopeBoyz
No Airs N Graces and prone to make noise
Like “mate what you want!?!” Stay Blatantly Blunt
Pushing UKHH straight to the front (that’s us!).
Repping UK All Day,
Be careful ‘cause Life Just Bounces away
When you play with Vocal Swords that slaughter chumps,
Better Wake Your Daughter Up, if that bitch is sleeping.
Had to switch to a Different Kitchen,
‘Cause the raw Unkut left the kitchen reeking.
With something different to these drug-obsessed amateurs
And only push dope via Suspect Packages.
(Yeah) And the beat plays on
And we don’t stop rocking ‘til the DJ Gone (gone).
God willing we can make Top Billin’ Above Ground
Without dumbing down to a club sound.
Strictly Independant, my brothers and me
And you can hit the button marked RWD
And you’ll agree that it’s wack, Nah Right, shit’s Fat
Lace lyrics with links just to give love back
To all the digital connects.
It may be a blatantly obvious and pandering ploy but I'm always honored to be considered like this cos, unlike gulp, 7 years ago when I started doing Different Kitchen, I pretty much knew every dude who did a rap blog and cats like Eskay used to comment on my site. Now there are a lot of f-cking rap blogs out there so thanks to Mr. Benjamin Black & his Delusionists crew and also to anyone else who still thinks enough of what I do here to still take the time to come through and see what I'm talking about. Seriously, its appreciated! As always, please leave comments if you dig or even hate something I've posted!
By the way: dig what you hear from The Delusionists? Check out their debut album, Prolusion Plus on Bandcamp:
You can download the album for purchase there or at their website where you can get 25% off by using the code DIGIFAM.

New Music: John Robinson & Lewis Parker - International Summers
Been super-busy recently and its not likely to change any time soon so I probably won't be posting quite as much stuff as I have over the past year but gonna try and post stuff like this still 'cos the homie, Adonis said cats appreciate the more obscure names they see on The Kitchen and can get the Drake, Wayne, Jay-Z, T.I. big-name stuff anywhere. Anyway, with trips to NYC looking to become more of a regular occurrence over the next few months, "International Summers" seems like a perfect track to kick off some posts with....
The First Single and title track from the new album dropping July 2nd on 2LP/CD/DIGITAL + Limited Edition Cassette (yeah!) on PROJECT MOON:CIRCLE records.
Download it via the bandcamp player above or click HERE.
Sidebar, wasn't Lewis Parker the rapper down with Massive Attack back in the day?

New Music: Estelle - Dear London
Teaser from her forthcoming #ialmostmadeamixtape with DJ Trauma. I know she smashed with "American Boy" but I think the biggest is yet to come from this girl. I think people almost forgot she spits too. Female Drake, maybe?

I love this. London Posse (Rodney P's orginal group) are still one of my favorites, period and not just on some UK hip hop sh-t.
