Back from dealing with those Jive turkeys. Heres Pap’s first offering for 2008. Can he re-create his buzz of ‘05-’06 or has the major label fallout killed whatever momentum he had left? Decide for yourself.

If you don’t find supermannin’ a hoe to be your style or are looking to hear some hardcore ish without the rapper signing on the chorus you could do a lot worse than check out the scene in Detroit. The genius of J Dilla is now well documented and with mainstays Royce Da 5′9″ and Slum Village the Detroit scene has always had a noticable presence. Well, the spirit of J Dilla lives on and with the emergence of artists such as Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, Dwele and Phat Kat things are looking good. So if you only associate Detroit with Mr. Mathers, check some of these artists out and leave the souljah boy to those under 13’s.
Black Milk ‘Sound the alarm’. Taken from critically acclaimed album Popular Demand. New album with Fat Ray ‘The Set Up’ out March 4th 2008.
Phat Kat ‘Cold Steel’ produced by Dilla.
Guilty Simpson – Ode to the Ghetto released 25th March 2008. Click here for link to download ‘Mans World’ produced by Dilla plus a bunch of other shit for free via itunes through Stones Throw website.
Dwele – grammy nominated soul singer, touring europe in March.
Enjoy.

It has been confirmed that Wiley has signed as the first artist on the relaunched Atlantic subsidiary Asylum. His first release Wearin’ My Rolex will be commercially released on Levels/Asylum this summer.
Asylum was reinstated by Atlantic UK last year and is headed up by former Ministry of Sound executive Ben Cook, so expect a multitude of cheesy house tracks fo’ sho.
Good look for Wiley tho.
