Fabio B feat: J-AX & DJ Gruff. Il Mio Nemico

by GroS 14 March 2011

Fabio B just pulled a masterpiece, put together two historical enemies, Sandro Vs. Sandro, aka J-ax against DJ Gruff.

After singing with Neffa, J-ax pushes himself to the limit with Gruff, singing a song that truly rocks, compared with the one done with Neffa. The base by Fabio B kicks, strong and beautiful , and the two legendary rappers rime over it with a bag of style, creating a very powerful song.

It seems that J-ax is trying somehow to get the respect that the “old school” has never given him, and I think that he’s succeeding in it . After a twenty years career with a lot a successes (including commercial) seems to me that J-ax, after quitting some years ago Articolo 31, is finding himself, and with all these featurings he’s doing nothing but confirming my theory . Well done.

Gil and The Devil

by lorebini 14 March 2011

Lately I am listening over and over to the latest record from Gil Scott-Heron. The great African American singer and Godfather of Hip Hop is eventually out of jail, and if he doesn’t make any more troubles he’s going to perform in Vigevano next week. Today I was checking out the video of one of my favourite songs of the album: Me and The Devil. Hey!… Who are those guys? The Warriors?

Sud Sound System: Ultimamente

by GroS 14 March 2011

The eighth album of Sud Sound System, Ultimamente, just came out and it contains 16 tracks that talk about their land: Salento.

With this album the band has been exploring new sounds, going from reggae to hip hop, dancehall to calypso and inside you can enjoy notable featurings like Luciano, T.O.K., Voicemail and Miss Triniti, and the new voice from Salento, Ely. The CD is awesome, we just listened to it plenty while traveling from Milan to Rome for Marcin Memorial Day and everyone enjoyed it, even though Sud Sound System are best live where they always offer great shows.

Their tour started in mid-May and they’ll be around main Italian locations and European capitals throughout September.
