Important Appeal for a Scottish Hip-Hop Legend
Dear readers,
While we would love to focus on posting great new music from Scotland, an important fundraiser has been set-up I need to share. Please read the below and donate anything you can to help save the music and the happiness of a true Scottish Hip-Hop pioneer.
'Del has been an avid Hip Hop fan for many many years and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject and often shared his collection to his followers on twitter (@delsoulcondor).
Recently it has become known after diagnosis he has evasive mouth cancer and obviously a huge shock to him, his family and the community. Typically, some thoughts turned to Del's epic Vinyl collection and he expressed concern that he never wanted it to 'end up in charity shops or a skip', wanting them to go to a good Home'.
Thank you in advance.
Love Hip-Hop. Love the people that make it what it is.

"Forever" - Vagrant Real Estate
"Forever" is an instrumental hip-hop single in the vein of artists such as Nujabes and J-Dilla, pairing the warm nostalgia of lofi hip-hop with hard hitting drums that would sound at home on the latest release from the Griselda camp. The track flows in and out, evoking the colours of a Studio Ghibli film, before reaching a climactic orchestral crescendo.
The track was mixed and mastered by renowned Scottish engineer Hamish "Morphamish" Campbell, who has worked with the likes of Big Dada Records and Darren "Loki" McGarvey."

'Cat's out the Bag' by Conscious Route & True Note
'Cat's out the Bag' by Conscious Route & True Note
This video was shot by talented Ben Glasgow https://www.benglasgow.co.uk/
Story boarded by Conscious Route Featuring The Fox (No I don't mean True Note I mean the fox) Also featuring True Note Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route and producer, True Note bring you their collaborative debut album, ‘Lost Routes.’ The album demonstrates the versatility of the duo as they bring a range of musical styles from hip-hop to grime and drum and bass, with tints of electronica and more.
All the while, Conscious Route delivers different flows to speak on a variety of personal and political matters, from mental health and personal struggles to social commentary and experiences from his years in the music industry. Conscious Route’s abilities as an MC are matched by the rich production of True Note (aka Mert Pearson), as they delve into themes of things that lurk in darkness, both from a metaphorical and a literal perspective. 'Cat's out the Bag' Smooth electronica-inflected hip-hop with an honest lyrical reminiscence of growing beyond the streets. Challenging the perspective of Conscious Route self reality and understanding. The LP is Unreleased and set to out the middle of October for more information please check the related Links provided below, we will update the information when the date is more clear.
