Jakwob is giving away a new mixtape which features contributions from Kano, Ghostpoet and more. Stirring from the underground with his eyes on the mainstream, Jakwob is part of a new wave of bass producers who are capable of really breaking out. Often a divisive figure, the producer's latest mixtape 'The Prize' contains some high profile guests. Mercury nominated rapper Ghostpoet adds some rhymes, with Kano, Mr Hudson and more lending a hand. Stream 'The Prize' below and then read a track-by-track guide from Jakwob below. - - - 'Turn To Stone' "A minimal, ambient track, 'Turn To Stone' features fairly unusual ...

Extra large happenings in this month’s Rapture & Verse. Have a guess as to whether it’s the prospect of a touring Tupac hologram (we always preferred Arnold J Rimmer ourselves), or hip-hop repeating its Weakest Link potential with a possible Celebrity Squares special (Mac Miller and Ghostface Killah believed to be amongst those jostling for the centre square). Or could it be that there’s something of a Company Flow reunion slash showdown crashing through, with both El-P and Bigg Jus releasing new albums of sonic downfall. El-Producto’s ‘Cancer for Cure’ is a naturally abrasive, scuzz-wrestling, rock and roll B-boy Judgement Day (check the trailer here ), pulling a single brick out of the scenery and chronicling the collapse minute by ever loudening minute while still finding room to fire off ‘Airplane!’ quotes. The one-upmanship in alt-rap has Bigg Jus on an even denser grind. Named ‘Machines That Make Civilization Fun’ and pairing the sort of mind-boggling titles that dissonant, feedback-scarred slug-outs deserve, Juss plants bombs in leftfield and comes up with funk-rotting blooms snapping heads back. He still knows how to drop a nifty one-liner out of the madness, and happily, El-P provides a remix for lead single ‘Black Roses’. Par for the course really from two certified ear-boxers. Naturally that leads us to Co Flow’s third member, Mr Len, and if you’re wondering what he’s up to, follow him on twitter @therealmrlen. With your listening gear still glowing red, may we suggest I Self Devine’s ‘The Sound of Low Class Amerika’ to prolong the ringing. Issuing a cage-rattling political/street corner address, the Rhymesayers and Micranots crewmember makes strong stands supported by eyewitness reportage, to a backdrop of heavy funk that when not sounding like it’s had enough, is able to take a moment and admire how fly it can be. From industrial crushes of NYC chaos and fighting the power in LA, to the Kool Keith strand of anarchy; here’s the Spankmaster getting long-winded on ‘New York’ , including some sights the tourist board don’t put in their brochure, ahead of umpteenth new album ‘Love and Danger’. No ‘Down Under’ jokes please kids, but Men at Work 2020 are rocking your favourite ultra plump funk-for-hip-hop breaks like mad dogs. Sewn together by Domingo, it’s a formidable posse cut involving Kool G Rap, Necro, Action Bronson, Rugged Intellect, Ras Kass and more. Emcees claiming tunnel vision when inhaling the mic have got nothing on Philly’s Lushlife, whose ‘Plateau Vision ...

If you recognise Will Poulter as Son Of Rambow’s boisterous Lee Carter or as part of Narnia’s fantastical adventures, you’ll see a new side to him in Wild Bill. He plays the fifteen-year-old Dean who has to look after his younger brother after seeing his father Bill go to jail and his mother abandon them. “Wild” Bill’s freedom should establish some stability in the family equilibrium, but the relationship between them requires rebuilding. “Dean bears the responsibilities of an adult,” begins Poulter. “I couldn’t really relate to him as I’m really lucky in that ...

Digital Soundboy Soundsystem are set to take control of the latest FabricLive mix. Amid the tumultuous trends of bass culture, Digital Soundboy remain at the forefront. Led by Shy FX, a new generation have picked up on their Jungle output at the same time as the imprint forges a relationship with new producers. Strangely, Digital Soundboy have never released a commercial mix. All that is about to change, though, with the Soundsystem set to take charge of a new FabricLive compilation. FabricLive 63 will be released on May 21st, and reflects both the history of the imprint and its current ...

Too F**king Facety (or Too Flipping Facety as per the radio edit) is the lead single from Roxxxan’s eagerly awaited and overdue mixtape, set to drop at the end of May 2012. The track, produced by Mikey J (Kano Mic Check, Not for the A-List EP, Female Allstars Rock The Mic) hit the airwaves last...

Brides">Black Veil Brides – Ritual The usual glossy teen metal from BVB, who increasingly remind me of 90s dullards Counting Crows dressing up as Kiss for some kerazy Halloween show. I guess if I was 15 years old and, like, totally misunderstood by my parents I could find some solace in this leaden and conservative anthem-by-numbers. As it is, I quite like the fact they make an effort with the hair and the make-up and whole rock n roll as a glam catwalk thing, but wouldn’t it be nice if their tunes weren’t so very bloody boring?   Clement ...

The Dragon King is Kano’s tribute to the greatest martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee! This version is the brown “Enter The Dragon” edition and was made available at Wonder Con this past weekend. The Dragon King is available at Kano’s shop for $65 + S/H. Read more..

Supposedly, this freshly released Busta-featured version of Labrinth’s massive “Earthquake” track (one of our favorites from last year) is just a piece of a (hopefully) forthcoming mega remix of the track featuring not only Bussa Buss but U.K. vet Kano, the always live Wretch 32, and a new verse from original track featuree Tinie Tempah.

By now you’re probably sick of the name Lana, with the fabulous Miss Del Rey’s omnipresence on every music related website being almost blinding. So today may not be a particularly good time to introduce you to another one, namely Lana McDonagh and her band Maker , but bear with us whilst we do just that. The most common assumption with Breaking More Waves is that this blog is Brighton based. It’s not, but we fully understand why so many people think so. After all we’ve probably covered more bands from that seagull crowded seaside city than ...

The vocal cuts and samples on Nero tracks are the best in the business. Take for instance  “Guilt,” or “Innocence,” or  “Promises”  — they all feature catchy, sing-along choruses accompanied by Nero’s melodic wobbles — it’s a remixer’s dream. Enter Fred Falke who, leaving the original samples from Kano’s “Another Life” and “Out of Touch” [...]
