 Brother Beatbox Volume 1 LP

Repping the badlands of Blazingsmoke, Hants this beatmaker has gathered his collabos with MC's in the UK and US on his debut album, including the likes of Deeflux (possibly the most prolific songwriter at the moment of all the Surrey / Hants / Berks MCs that I'm aware of) and20Brassik (another Basingstoke artist who stands out amongst the plethora of talented relative unknown MCs here in a picture of English life on 'Where I Live'). The beats are trad sample-based boom bap fare with the odd welcome more jazzy / abstract beat which breaks up the sometimes 'more of the same' sound.


It's a promising debut with a contemplative feel, a well constructed album with 'songs' and good value with 21 tracks priced at £6 including delivery . This album is currently without distribution as far as I can tell so contact the man direct if you're interested.
