UKHH.com is back with a second compilation of home grown British rap. Titled MIC: CTRL this CD is rammed with the now generation of UK emcees making noise for 2008 and beyond.
FORTY tracks blended together into a sublime seventy minute journey through the future of British hip hop. Featuring tracks from some of today’s biggest underground acts like TY, Asaviour, Dubbledge, Skrein, Stig & Syntax, Mystro, and Lazy Habits alongside newer artists set to break through like Revilo, Metabeats, Vex, Jabba Tha Kut, Nom De Plume and Smiler. For the last nine years UKHH.com has attempted to showcase talent from all corners of the nation and “MIC: CTRL” maintains that non-English bias with tracks from Loki (Scotland), Mudmowth (Wales), Jee4ce (N.Ireland).
Coming from the world's most
popular UK hip hop website this fantastic mix truly represents the
underground hip hop sound of Britain - there is no doubting the quality
of this release!
Reviews:
"This a landmark for what the UK hip hop scene stands for, honest lyricists and hard working beat smiths who’s hunger has not been taken away by the allure of unattainable life styles like some of their American counterparts. Which only leaves me to say grab a copy and support the real live Shit!!! Nuff said…"

"This weeks playlist was inspired by the timely arrival of a new mix CD 'MIC:CTRL' released by the fine folks behind a long running cornerstone of the uk hip–hop web, ukhh.com...British hip–hop didn't collapse, it got honest. Remembered that the only two essential ingredients for hip–hop are cocky beats and pure intent"
Plan B
"UK hip-hop as a whole isn’t as massively selling or as mainstream as the its bling bling mainstream US counterpart, it doesn’t mean that the artists can’t make catchy, scratchy, crunchy, and pretty irresistible head nodding beats, with some vividly painted verbal pictures being told…As hip-hoppers sometimes say, whether you’ve heard of the artists or not don’t sleep on MIC: CTRL, and go and find out more about the artists that have been mixed up on this CD. Once you’ve stopped playing, replaying, and rewinding this album over and over"
