Check Our Attitude by Big Shamu
"Check Our
Attitude" is a showcase of Big Shamu's talents, designed to please the
more refined of palettes. Boasting his eclectic musical talent and
taste, this album rolls smoothly through every dark corner of the genre.
By presenting such thought provoking concepts through quoteable bars
with strong tones of youth culture, humour and satire this album stands
out as more than your average Hip-Hop offering.
Wunderkid is a title few are worthy of, but Big Shamu wears it well.
Arguably a newcomer to the world of Hip-Hop, he wastes no time proving
himself a force to be reckoned with. Whether he's lending his soft,
soulful tones for a hook, his piercing drums for a beat or effortlessly
styling all over your favorite rappers, his nonchalant talent is hard to
deny.
In short, this is a debut album worth talking about, its replay value
alone makes it worthy of a place in any Hip-Hop fan's collection.

Werd's Alien [PE.2] Reviewed by Becca Starr
'I was humbled to be asked by Werd to write a review for his latest
project. With the release of his 'Salt n
Sauce' video, directed by Omar
Al-Zidjali of redtreefilms, I
expected a straight hip-hop experience with Alien [PE.2]. Which was a false assumption. The overall feeling of the album is very
dark, aggy, reflective and satirical. Lyrically very up front and honest. An
aggravated lament. There are several themes throughout the album, frustration
and comedy he witnesses in the hip-hop scene, his dis-trust for media and
government, his purpose, his moral conscience and concern for the planet.
Socially and ecologically. Multiple genres creep in. Making the whole album
contemporary and relevant. But perhaps what you might not have expected.
The production on the album is flawless, start to finish. This is hardly surprising when you read the list of contributing producers. Soaring synths, varying grooves and styles all seem to merge effortlessly into an overall sound, feel and atmosphere. Despite the darker feel, there is still a lot of uplifting, funky moments. 'Human Form (Transform)'perhaps the funkiest. Short, sweet and to the point. His delivery skills are very well showcased in this project. 'Inner Caves' displaying his double-time abilities (plus a totally amazing sample) and his lyrical content is unapologetic and hard-hitting. He even sings a bit in 'Spoon-fed with plastic sporks'. A dark but very melodic piece. Tracks like 'Escape the Dying Planet' deliver his storytelling ability, the sense of drama coupled with epic samples leave a real impression. A good impression. The sense creeps in that lately he has questioned his own relevancy, yet also plays with the idea of being a caricature of himself. That his disappointment of what he's heard/seen in the scene has almost driven him to comment, with impact and eloquence. Occasionally tongue-in-cheek, but I note the sincerity of his delivery in some of those cases. Which makes it hard to judge how serious he is being in his criticisms. Part of me expects that this is his means of confronting the subject, but also hopefully making his fellow rappers and mc's think. Perhaps re-think. Perhaps reflect, as he has. As a listener, you feel included in the questioning he does. Almost a vibe of Werd suggesting - "You go think about that".
Overall, it's a very good album. I was impressed. His trademark delivery makes every track passionate in its own way. The final track 'Leave This Behind' seemed to epitomise his alienated vibe, but also acts as a question mark. Has Werd had enough? With quotes from the album like - "Represent, just resent" you could easily believe he feels unappreciated. But the fact is, he is appreciated and valued. An active advocate and supporter of his fellow artists. He's had a break, thought things over and now he's back. I think this project was his opportunity to clear the air and vent his concerns. However, now he has done that, could he be looking ahead? I hope so. Sometimes, we all feel Alien.'

Encoded by The Urban Folk Crowd
"The Urban
Folk Crowd are Conscious Route and Calum Carlyle. Bringing together a
unique blend of Hip Hop, Folk, Indie, Reggae among other influences, the
band have created catchy melodies and conscious thought-provoking
lyrics in a way that is feel good.The Urban Folk Crowd came together when singer / songwriter Calum Carlyle met Conscious Route through the Edinburgh music scene. After being fans of each other's work they created a debut album in the background of their busy lives.
The album, which is produced by Fraser Johnstone, mixes influences from all the people involved to bring a slice of difference while creating a crowd ethos for this musical endeavor. Calum's musical background coming from Folk, Blues, Indie, and other influences, while Conscious Route originated from Hip Hop, Poetry, alternative music and Reggae. The two let the experience flow, rather than directing to write certain songs to be a certain way. With many cups of herbal tea and talking, the album took over two years to complete. What set out to be a project of serious intent changed direction into an enjoyable journey of learning and appreciation for good music and good people. I think that experience of the journey is conveyed through the music itself."

Rewind 4 Years: Escape From Carstairs
On 3rd
November 2011 Wardie Burns and Wee D escaped from Carstairs leaving
behind no traces to detail their break out other than unreadable,
deranged notes on their cell walls and floor. It is believed that these
two inmates had predicted a release on this date without any indication
or reason to why it was significant. Carstairs has refused to comment on
the matter until Lothian Borders Police complete their investigation.
The fearsome reputation of the hospital means most will oppose the
escape and the lack of security at its location, but those involved in
the sites management say it should ensure the care and security for each
patient still there, and ultimately the public is now in danger. If you
have any details on the whereabouts of these escapees please contact
either NHS, local police or Sons of Scotland (SOS).

Nautilus Inkworks teams up with Glasgow MP
'I am delighted to announce a new initiative to support rising creative talent in the Glasgow North constituency. As part of a new ‘Local Artists Project’, I’m keen to bring some of the diverse, creative and contrasting buzz of the constituency into my Firhill office and promote up-and-coming artists across the area. The new Project will see local artists showcasing their artwork in the constituency office for 4-6 weeks at a time.
Glasgow has one of the most exciting creative scenes in the country, and my constituency covering the West End and Maryhill has a particularly high concentration of artists, musicians and writers. Using my local office in Firhill to showcase some of the best local talent will hopefully be of interest to visiting constituents and of course any passer-by is welcome to drop in as well.
The first artist kicking off this exciting project is Christopher Stevens of Nautilus Inkworks, a self-taught artist who has been active on the Glaswegian urban art and music scene for 7 years.
