Wurrd Jenkins: Oh The Horrah!
"Oh The Horrah" is a chaotic clash of broken break-beats, growling bass-lines stabby pianos, screeching synths
and the razor sharp molasses flow of Wurrd Jenkins.
The EP contains 2 additional remixes of the original, the first by Edinburgh based Electronic Artist
Edward Spark who's take on the track adds funky electronics with clean break-beats and a feature verse from California's Emceebrownbear who adds in a new verse in the middle, his smooth buttery flow adds an additional element to the track not out of place being sandwiched between 2 verses of the hard style Scots of Wurrd Jenkins.
The 2nd remix featured is by Toatie Made It (www.beatstars.com/toatiemadeit/), who's approach to the track takes a more modern rap/grime approach with shuffling strings and rolling snare drums, capturing a claustrophobic atmosphere that truly resonated "the horrah" vibe of the track.

Rap Academics by Solareye
Taking the lyrics, ‘Kids rock Akademiks but they’re not academic’, from Jehst’s England, (2011) as a jump-off, this song is a ra/p/aper, demonstrating and arguing that hip-hop practice is hip-hop studies. Aiming to build on AD Carson’s artist-research in the form of mixtap/e/ssays (Carson, 2020), the track asserts that rap is research, art is scholarship, rather than research being a process that has to happen after creative practice. Through this process, issues are raised and explored regarding cultural legitimacy, hip-hop culture vs academic culture, and access to cultural spaces, through the creative output itself.
