This is the third and final album to be released by Scottish rapper
Lumanes. Now 21 years old at the time of the release, Lumanes had been
working on the album since 2014 and wanted to leave 2016 with his final
album before he moves on to spoken word style poetry, more battle rap
and religiously motivated content. Originally the album was to be sold,
but is now available for free download.
IRON MAYAN was IRON MASONS first album recorded circa 2010. Ricky
Henderson had recently discovered Schizo Creator and Artist Autistic.
Realising their potential he set his sights on signing IRON MASONS to
Henderson Records. Promising them fame, money and girls galore he got
his way. Schizo and Artist saw the catch but signed the deal anyway,
expecting to rinse Ricky and do their own thing god damn it!
God Save The Public:
In these current times feeling trapped, stuck, without purpose and a little depressed in life is common. While Facebook and social media is pulling us apart, making us insecure or reinforcing people’s extreme beliefs, the media is dividing us with unwarranted fear and propaganda. If you notice and dislike this, you are certainly not alone...
‘God Save The Public’ is a mix of personal outlooks and political arguments over various styles of production. One man’s words, another man’s beats. This collection of 12 tracks shows both the offensive / aggressive side of hip-hop, countered with the calm and emotional song-writing; discussing inner battles and fear of current UK system and ruling class. If suicide doesn’t get you, the political elite might. This LP lashes out against both.
Werd (SOS) is an award winning Edinburgh based hip-hop artist & promoter well known throughout the Scottish scene. He has worked with, and continues to work with new and old artists in Scotland and abroad, creating music with some of Scotland’s top producers and artists in the genre. Making music for over 14 years in the capital, he now finds himself running more charity & non-profit community gigs, while pushing towards more emotional and political rap.
Darko Strauss makes whatever style of music he feels like making at the time. Having been influenced by metal, hip-hop and trip-hop when he was young, his music is an amalgamation of all three with a sprinkling of his personality thrown in. Sometimes melodic and emotional, however at times loud and harsh, he remains with a signature sound. DIRECT BANDCAMP LINK CLICK HERE

The
obnoxious Stutter Jack style blends new and old boom-bap with Electro-style
beats. This talisman of disassociated mind-craft unveils the grim depths with
his personal warped lyrics of the darkest disclosure from his suppressed cerebral.
His elaborate hip hop nihilism combines with tort and regressed convalescence
both in outlook and lyrical style. The man society wouldn't accept has finally
found his mouthpiece works, with a staggered speech impediment bringing twisted
revelation to the underground of UK Hip Hop & world-wide. The six
track E.p features production from Sean El & Kid Robotik.
