Get The IRS on stage in the Isle Of Wight!



Fresh from receiving their indie music award.. (big up fellas), Ed Strong's group The IRS are also in with a chance of performing in the Isle Of Wight Festival 2008, if the guys can rock it there then it'd not only be a good look for them and their music but some decent exposure for sick hiphop from these shores

It only takes a second so get on with it and stop complaining....select the URBAN category and then The IRS...for this one give em a 5 hahaha!!.

HiphopDX: Producer's Corner: Jake One




Jake One is a rare case for contemporary Hip Hop. He works with nearly everybody, and still gets paid. The Emerald City beatmaker has been earning his keep as one of the underground’s most consistent forces for years now, crafting bangers that always made you wonder who it was: De La Soul’s “Rock Co.Kane Flow” and “Days Of Our Lives,” Strange Fruit Project’s “Soul Clap,” and MF DOOM’s “Hoe Cakes” come to mind. Having paid his dues already, making highlights from Interscope Jackson’s Curtis album, G-Unit’s releases, Freeway’s latest, and even John Cena are welcome additions to his catalog.

These days, the self-proclaimed “Perfect Beat Writer” is prepping for the fall release of White Van Music, his Rhymesayers Entertainment debut [click to read] that features a star-studded line-up of Little Brother, Young Buck, MF DOOM, Freeway, M.O.P., Elzhi, Royce Da 5’9”, and others. In an interview with HipHopDX’s Producer’s Corner, Jake One talks about the wide spectrum of his clientele, living far away from established Hip Hop locales, and his upcoming project.

Week 4 Matchups

Ok people; sorry for the delay on rolling the weeks over; had a trip to London on Sunday that kinda had a knock on effect on league runnings, this also meant the video (thats on the way) was a bit shorter than usual as we could only run with the beats we had received by the early afternoon...no worries for voters though as all the beats are uploaded and on the players to vote on.

The standard just keeps on getting worryingly better!! and the leaderboard is starting to open up a bit too..dont watch it too much though as we aren't even half way through the league yet so a lot can happen!!

LDBB League gettin hit up!!

Wow you guys are lovin you some LDBB league arent you!


4K hits on day 1, 5K hits on day 2!!

Its all good!!, apologies for the madness earlier on in the week with the voting; we belive the new 1 / 5 stars system is perfect; as well as grading the leaderboard by wins,draws,losses then points is working out for the better; after all this is supposed to be about who wins the most battles and not a cosntant beat rating!.

We've also upgraded the webhost package to deal with all the hits and changed the audio hosting service we were using so the bandwith is better for our visitors.

VOTING KEYS ARE STILL BEING GIVEN OUT!!!..as we've changed the voting system to only include full votes on all battles; therefore we may just keep the key requests going well on into the league!.


VOTE OR DIE!!
Remeber, if you have a voting key make sure you do use it and vote for all the battles; it only takes a few minutes to vote on each battle and you'll be entertained with ill beats while you do!!, pay attention to the grading system and the original sample to take into account your final grade....AND ALSO!! you are a producer in the league you should REALLY be voting..return the votes you've been given because otherwise you'll offset the battles (meaning some will have more votes than others).


Ok then..everyone should have picked up their samples for next week; stay tuned for monday as we roll the week over and place the new beats from this week in the league.

HAVE YOUR BEATS TURNED IN TONIGHT TO BE SAFE!
Yes we go to the lab sunday afternoon and yes we do one last pick up before we start the league video...BUT dont play the numbers game, remember a flop can cost you around 60 points!! you'll have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks to make that back..

and finally

AD SENSE
No we havent sold out hahaha..but do click the ads to help us out with hosting bills and everything..it'd be much appriceated nahmeeeeeeen!!.

heres to a crazy week 1 and hopefully and ill week 2..VIDEO/ROLL OVER coming monday!!

BANG!
