Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYo
Spank Rock is hip hop outta Baltimore but the first single got radio plays from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, Annie Mac & Mary Ann Hobbs. So fairly mainstream then? Well sort of as their hip hop is a strange mash up of old skool influences, a fair touch of electro bass boom and a few swear words (erm… quite a lot of swearing actually).
Monday 3 April 2006
Roots Manuva - Alternately Deep
Mr Manuva’s last album Awfully Deep maintained his position as the voice of UK hip hop. The album out this month, Alternately Deep follows Awfully Deep as a collection of b-sides, alternative versions and outtakes. As it’s mid-priced, it’s definitively worth the investment.

Eddie Palmieri & La Perfecta II at The Blue Note, New York, 28 September 2003
The place is New York's Blue Note jazz club. The volume is loud. The rhythms are crossed, the endings tight, and the lineup as hot as Havana in Midsummer. Native New Yorker and Latin jazz pianist Eddie Palmieri might be well into the sixth decade of professional music-making, but he's still about sharp as they come.
