Cmon cmon cmon - like Obama and alcoholic popsicles, XRABIT + DMG$ combine in inspiring and intoxicating ways. Late January sees the two Texan MCs touch down in London, hook up with Dalston-based XRABIT and fling themselves into a series of shows (London, Paris Berlin) that will leave onlookers weak-kneed and screaming with joy. It's a long time since hip hop has managed to sound so carefree, so avant garde and yet so pop. You can be there at the start (the dates below) or at the end (the O2 Arena in two years time) but you will be there. Follow the yellow brick road.

A couple of weeks ago, Thunderheist played a guerilla gig outside Cargo, after their main performance in the venue. This involved a sponsored tank, some police, a street sign wielder and a taxi-leaper. It was a lot more fun than we thought it might be. Have a look at it here

A coupla weeks back Speech Debelle did a special showcase performance for a small audience at the Betsey Trotwood in London's Farringdon- zone. She's got a new band, see, and we wanted to check out how the whole thing was coming together. The show turned out to be a bit of a mini-masterpiece, so we thought we'd share some of it with the world at large through the good offices of YouTube. Go here to watch Bad Boy, a beautifully observed story rhyme about the little men who can't break out of the cages they find themselves in.
