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.

Artist Spotlight: Exxxhumed
David McNeill (born March 8, 1993), known professionally as EXXXHUMED, is a Scottish rapper, songwriter, and producer. EXXXHUMED has, as well as Scottish heritage, Irish and Spanish ancestry in his blood.
He was raised by his stepfather, Paul McNeill, and his mother, Christine, both in and around Glasgow where he grew up with early music influences from the likes of Michael Jackson, Slipknot, The Cure, Johnny Cash, Tupac and Deftones.
These early influences gave David a taste for emotionally honest and sincere music, this would lead him into further musical influences from heavy metal, hardcore punk and alternative hip-hop/grime, as a true melting pot of music drove him to spark his own musical career.
After floating in and out of metal bands as a teenager (2009-2012) and dabbling in Dark Ambient, Electronica and Dubstep in early 2010, David had finally found a foothold in a dark hip-hop style that was drenched in brutal honesty and sincerity under the stage name EXXXHUMED in early 2018.
