Dilated Peoples - Good As Gone (Video)


With their constant touring and slew of solo albums, it's easy to forget that Dilated Peoples haven't dropped a group album since 2006. Eight years have passed by so quickly but now Rakaa Iriscience, Evidence and DJ Babu are back with their new single and video for "Good As Gone". The track is also produced by the legendary DJ Premier who comes through with an unorthodox beat that totally fits Dilated.

The new album "Directors Of Photography" is released on the 12th of August through Rhymesayers but is up for pre-order now.  You can expect production from Diamond D, Jake One, Alchemist, 9th Wonder and more.

Mr. Thing on Crate Diggers (Video) / In The Loop: The Final Cypher Session

MRTHING

Mr. Thing is one of the best DJs I've witnessed over the years. I've seen him quite a few times and he never fails to bring an amazing party to life. This is most likely down to his wealth of music knowledge and pretty impressive vinyl collection to choose from.

Check out the latest episode of "Crate Diggers" for Fuse TV with Mr. Thing in the video below.

Incidentally, Mr. Thing is the guest DJ at this month's In The Loop on the 20th of June. It's sure to be a special one as it is in fact the last night that Agent J, DJ A-Up and Bedos will be hosting. Be sure to look at the event page and get down if you can. It's a free event so you have no excuse to miss The Final Cypher.

Method Man & Redman Live In Manchester

MethRed

Finally! Yesterday it was announced that one of Hip-Hop's illest duos will be hitting up Manchester on July 18th. Method Man and Redman will be making their return after a long time away from the city when they take over The Ritz.

Personally, I've been waiting forever for this as I missed them perform here previously and Method Man was absent at the Wu-Tang show I attended a number of years back. The Ticallion Stallion and the Funk Doctor Spock on my doorstep! Can't wait.

Tickets are on sale now through Skiddle here.

A few of their many great videos follow below.
