Interviews
Mista Dexter Interview
Ok so a couple of months ago we relaunched the site with a repress of our first ever interview with the Brotherhood from 1999 and coincided that with a catchup with one of the trio Spyce. That interview created a fair bit of cynicism amongst readers and people dubious of Spyces recollection of events. Never [...]
INC Interview
A face on the scene for a good few years now, INC seems to be standing out at the minute as an individual with a promising path ahead. Known for being a battle mc on the London scene and supporting major acts such as Datsik, Necro, Rusko, Plastician, Caspa, Hatcha, Ghetto, Devlin, Virus Syndicate, Andy [...]
Reggiimental Interview
ReggiiMental keeps things moving with the release of the forthcoming EP ‘The FirePit’ which is schedule to drop, April 2011. Even with summer around the corner, there is still a cold chill which ReggiiMental captures nicely with his latest song and video. Winter Wonderland does not actually feature on the forthcoming EP but acts as [...]
The Making of Jehst Premonitions EP: An Interview with Evil Ed
The time has come to get my Wax Poetics on and get deep behind the history of what was a massively important record in the development of my (and many other heads of my age) love affair with UK Hip Hop. It was 1999, I was 18, at college, permanently plugged into my Walkman and [...]

Mr Lingo is the founding father of the Funk from the Trunk crew who have been shredding dancefloors across the UK. Five years on from [...]
MistaSpyce Interview
We’ve relaunched the site with a repress of our first ever interview with the Brotherhood from 1999. And here we are 12 years later, the Brotherhood disappeared from the uk scene, barely to resurface again, either together or as solo performers. So what happened? Well, Spoon tracked down Spyce to fill in the gaps from [...]
[Classic Interview] The Brotherhood
It’s 1996, The Brotherhood have just released an incredible album on Virgin Records and they’re British rap’s latest great hopes for commercial success. Optimism is rife, but the tale takes the usual sorry turn, with the record company wanting the group to compromise their ideals. Ultimately this leads to ‘low key’ promotion and The Brotherhood leaving the label to do their own thing. This has happened before, and no doubt it will happen again. The difference with The Brotherhood is that they’ve been together for long enough to have the strong ties that hold them together as a unit, and they were with the major label for long enough to get good experience of the business.
