'Monster Ink' is the must have new EP from Lou Hekla (Squid Ninjas) on the beats and Monster Under The Bed (Blah/Children Of The Damned/Piff Gang) on the vocals. Dusty, smoked out production and sick, technical wordplay come together to create a literal Monster of an EP. Available now for a ridiculously low £2.99 from Hekla's Bandcamp page, Monster Ink comes with the 5 original tracks, a mixed

One of my favourite MCs of the moment is back and getting his nerd on for his latest addition to his release catalogue 'Lady Liberty is Wasted'. A lot has happened to Phillip Morris since he dropped his last album into the public foray. He's been signed to Redphone Records, has directed a full music video for 'Same Ones and Zeros' a track taken from 'The Truth Campaign', and has been busy

Heavy Metal Kings is by far one of the best albums to come out in 2011 to date, although we’d expect nothing less from the likes of Ill Bill (Non Phixion) & Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mid Tricks).. For those that assumed they would be getting an album in the same vein as the ‘Heavy Metal Kings’ track on the Jedi Mind Tricks album think again, it’s not, it’s much better, and those who thought that they

Now we're getting settled into 2011 we thought we'd better reveal whats to come from the Don't Talk To Strangers record label and our home The Dark City over the course of the year. We have far too much 'in the works' to detail everything so here's a selection of whats in store... (that and we also like the element of surprise!)

With 2010 now a distant memory we though we’d take a look back at the last year for Don’t Talk To Strangers and its artists before we move forward into the next. At the beginning of the year DTTS revealed various gate ways to their home, The Dark City. A blog, online store and social networking presence appeared as the construction of the soon to be revealed official website continued… (More on

From his debut solo album ‘The Foundation’ on Rubicon Records in 2007, Spida Lee returns back to the game with the ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK EP. Each track on this comes to life with Spida’s heavy raps and story telling, punch lines and day-to-day observations which reminds me and feels like various scenes from a British gangster movie. Tracks like ‘Street Life’, ‘Livest Ones’ and ‘Late Nights’

This is a quick review of Spida Lee's E.P. By the name of Original Soundtrack, First off theres a kind of intro track thats only on for a short time but gives you a quick sample of what to expect from Spida's rhymestyle, delivery and beat choice. Excellent Boom bap style beat and some nice lines which really gets you all set up for the next track. Back in the game gives you an insight into what

Respect to all our family at Just Cause for this dope label feature, well deserved! For the most part, listening to demo’s can be a labour of love. Trawling through that never ending pile of mix tapes is usually a fruitless and thankless task. Singers that can no more hold a note than tie their own shoe laces.

Unless you are a dedicated follower of Hip-Hop flowing out of West Yorkshire, you probably have not heard of Cheif Wigz. Well with the way that this self entitled debut album sounds, that could just change. Following on from his EP – “Never Speak Ill of The Dead Vol. 1” which dropped back in 2007 (re-released in 09′ under the DTTS label), Chief Wigz has been busy alongside Brutal Artistry
