EXAMPLE IS A RAPPER AGAIN!

EXAMPLE'S A RAPPER AGAIN 
made me really sad when on his last album my favourite rapper became a singer. He's just such a talented lyricist and there are less of him when he sings. this makes me feel like I'm back in Newcastle watching him rip across the stage to subtly tweaked arrangements. 
so painfully jealous of the lucky brits who have tickets to his sold out UK arena tour since he plays with a band and the sounds are so huge. 

the album comes out november 4th and it's gonna be a legend. the last one was mostly singing and was a bit vanilla, but with tracks produced by Benga, Feed Me, Skream, and a bunch o friends i'm super stoked for the new release. There's a big sampler of it here. enjoy :)

 

this is the guy i missed. 
so happy for him.

cheers.

cause we all need some way of to entertaining ourselves.


if you're restless like I am, and need some form of constant audio stimulus, have a casual soundcloud set. 


thanks to ma gurr
KAY
for putting up a compilation of your entire life as an artist :) you're fun. 
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: 
canadian, great hair, fun chick rap, diplo remixes (we like diplo) also, friends of  cherrytree records and therefore frankmusik (we like frankmusik). 






if you're impatient and don't feel like suffering through the whole exhausting 14 tracks, do "Dum Diddy" or the one with Frankmusik. 
aiight i'm out.

nasty bass

have we talked about example yet? 
well the man's easily my number one UK rapper... seen him twice live and his songs lend so well to performance... he's so fresh and inventive in dance music, mixing catchy hooks with rap with dubstep/drum n bass/house that is a little dark, a little happy pop, but not overwhelming.


what a strapping young brit.
well his latest single MIDNIGHT RUN (with a pretty stunning video shot in Iceland) has had me on a little treasure hunt of finding beats. 




it's got so many layers and sections but it works... oh just wait for that cheeky dubstep breakdown at the 2.53 minute mark. snuck up and bit ya didn't it.
one of the best two tracks on the album for SURE.

found out FEED ME produced the track. so i had to further investigate the realms of the interwebs to find this gem of a brit DJ.


this thing is freakin beautiful. just beautiful. 
enjoy, kids.
