Metabeats feat. Ralph Rip Shit - Music Pt.1 (OG Mix)

At AssociatedMinds we're looking to have fun this year and introduce the world to a whole heap of creative hip-hop made by the family of artists we're lucky to be blessed with. To start the year off on a lighthearted good foot, Ralph was feeling full of life, fresh off the back of his 'OCDC' side project (www.OCDC.co.uk) so leapt into the booth on January 1st to spit a dub over the incredible Rising 5 taken from one of the albums of 2009, Hudson Mohawke's 'Butter' LP.

We hope you enjoy. 

All feedback welcome and for any info, interviews or radio drops please contact - mayor@associatedminds.com

Further info
Ralph's debut 12" 'The Best Name' which featured some of the finest UK producers such as Secondson, Benn Grymm and Apollo as well as Dubbledge on rhyme duties, achieved widespread critical acclaim in the national press including Single of the Month in Echoes Magazine. Since then he's featured on stablemate and long time collaborator Mudmowth's 'Circus In The Cemetery' EP as well as 2 standout features on the statement of arrival that was the Metabeats 'Metaphysical' LP (Given Plan B Magazine's End of Year Writers Review 'Hip-Hop LP of the year')

- 2010 will see the release of Ralph & Mudmowth's 'Tokyo' EP. Featuring production from Sam Rockwell & P.L.O. The EP is a musical document of the insane three weeks they spent travelling around Japan in late 2009.
- Ralph will also feature on Metabeats sophomore LP (as yet untitled) to be released late in 2010 alongside the likes of Oddisee, Marvwon, Dubbledge, Farma G and more. A video for the track 'Music' has allready been shot.

Metabeats feat. Action Bronson 'Hookers'

Through the mind of a slave master Metabeats and Dubbledge combine on the 'The Making Of A Slave' in honour of Black History Month.

Inspired by the Willie Lynch letter, ‘The Making of a Slave’ sees Dubbledge at his most controversial, ironically morphing into the shoes of a slave owner to breakdown the various techniques used to create slaves. However he does so with an intellectual, tongue in cheek delivery and enough humour to turn the ugliest of subjects into an inspirational look at the methods used to create an inbuilt self-destructive mentality that will &amp; has spanned generations. It's thought provoking &amp; definitely worth a listen for some true edutainment.

Your support is appreciated: either play/stream/feature or blog it. We only ask that you also add the following link and encourage people to work towards a better future for us all.

NB. This tune will also feature on Dubbledge’s forthcoming 'Dubbledge vs The Boondocks' mixtape.
