MOG & ZA - Scheme Bird

Tripolar sees Stuart Jackson, Adam Holmes and MOG reunite as Bang Dirty. The folk/rap/electronic formula will be familiar to fans of their debut effort, Everyone Out. That album attained cult status, a trickle of downloads giving rise to a steady flow of domestic and international purchases, fuelled by word of mouth, a handful of gigs and the lure of lead track Break Up, which was accompanied by a well-received video.

For the band's follow-up, Tripolar retains the lush instrumentation and gritty lyrics, while cranking production up a notch, the lowest depths and highest highs set against a backdrop of haunting piano, ebullient strings and shimmering guitar. 

'She' is part poetry, part love letter while 'Enigma' is downright nasty. Everyone Out featured four guest spots; this time around, only Gasp appears, the Glasgow rapper nailing a 16 onto the assured 'So Many Mics'. Instead, vocal duties are left to MOG who is on top form as he ponders lives lost, time passed and hands won. With Adam Holmes weighing in with saccharine hooks and bitter-sweet choruses, the album switches effortlessly from dark street to smoky bar; sunny scheme to choppy sea. 

During the course of ten tracks, listeners are taken on a ferris feel of emotions and a rollercoaster of sonic palettes; Tripolar is melancholy, angry and elated in equal measure. An apt name for an eagerly-anticipated sequel.

VAGABONDS IN SPACE (2011)

This week sees ‘Vagabonds In Space’ blasting into orbit, the startling new EP from two of Scottish hip-
hop’s brightest stars. Werd and Wardie Burns, under their Vagabonds pseudonym, have collaborated
with Zambian Astronaut to create a conceptual mini-album that merges orchestral flourishes with raw,
resonating rhymes. Strings crash, snares thump and bass throbs as the Vagabonds spit uncompromising
bars that ebb and flow over every track.

Werd is one of Scotland’s most respected rappers, his hard-hitting rhymes merging lightning-fast punch
lines and astute social commentary. Wardie Burns, having released the acclaimed ‘Oor Wardie’ album
with UVBeatz, is earning a formidable reputation thanks to his outspoken persona and unique delivery that
shocks and amuses in equal measure. With Edinburgh’s Zambian Astronaut taking care of beats, hooks and
production, Vagabonds In Space is a slick EP that takes listeners on a stellar journey, referencing Susan
Boyle, quasars and the feasibility of mugging Paul Gascoigne along the way. Scottish MCs Mog, Madhat
McGore and Nostal also surface with memorable features on ‘Vagabonds In Space’

01. Inner Monologue ft ZA
02. A Declaration ft Mog & ZA
03. Planet Vaga ft ZA
04. Point of No Return ft Nostal & Mog
05. Bring The Drums In ft ZA & Madhat McGore

Lead single ‘A Declaration’ is accompanied by an epic video that cuts seamlessly between scenes of urban
decay and lurid graffiti in Edinburgh and Berlin. (Viewable via Youtube)

East-West Explosion: Scottish hip-hop heavyweights unleash new EP

Bonded in Bonds is the uncompromising new release that promises to take Scottish hip-hop to a new plateau.  The unique collaboration pits Mog’s Glaswegian story-telling rhymes against the genre-hopping soundscape of Edinburgh’s Zambian Astronaut.

Kicking off with the dull, throbbing beats of ‘Ze Money’, Bonded In Bombs is a six-track tour de force that shows why Scottish hip-hop is one of the last bastions of free expression.  The accents might be regional, but the music and the message refuse to be constrained by manmade frontiers: love, alienation and red machetes are universal themes.

Mog scatters lyrics like paint on a Jackson Pollock, spattering tracks with the sort of imagery that would keep war veterans up at night.  Along the way, the Mog-ZA juggernaut stops briefly to pick up Becca Starr and Adam Holmes to provide consonant vocals on ‘No, No, No’.  Becca Starr also appears on ‘Straight From The Soul’, while Nostal guests on the disturbing ‘Whatever, Fuck You’.  Edinburgh is also represented on the EP by Werd, who provides bars on the Skip James-indebted ‘Killin Floor’.

Bonded In Bombs is defined by hypnotic beats, effortless lyricism and a smattering of naggingly-insistent hooks that counterbalance the EP’s more psychotic moments.

Lead single ‘Ze Money’ is accompanied by a gritty, film noir video that will leave the viewer sleeping with the lights on and the curtains drawn.

LYRICS:

I'm a joker baby, been doin nothing much but smokin lately /
I must be really bad if someone with your soul can hate me /
I fell beneath a line I couldn't even see before /
Now I'm the worst me I could be, down to my evil core /
I hate the world and the people who inhabit it /
The only way to dull the pain is gettin mad with it /
Never done nothin right, including love or fight / 
Another clueless fool stumbling through his worthless life /
So play the pity song, I know it word for word / 
I've been cursed since I was covered in my mothers blood / 
An speakin of my parents, I was raised a waster / 
Became myself through trying no to turn into my father /
I longed for love so long, I never saw the consequence /
Got lost in fantasy an dreamed away my common sense /
I thought you could at least use me as a sturdy shoulder /
But I was wrong again, I'm still a fuckin joker /

Turns out I couldn't chew what I had bitten off /
Thought I could change who I was, 'ha', what a laugh /
I wish that I could steer my life down a different path /
But every time I try to switch lanes, I hit a ditch and crash /
I'm not a fan of faking, no exaggeration, the only thing that keeps me real is my imagination /
I take a swig and see your face in every star I'm gazing /
An although my passions fading, I still love my gallus nation / 
Crazy, crowed clubs and nights and lengthy lonely days /
I'm contemplating dojy things to do with rope and blades /
It's time to make the great escape but I don't know the way,
This life has made me old and grey, way before my day /
Still trying to find my footing on this shaky globe /
Some think that deaths the way to go, aye maybe so /
I'm sick of trying to prove I'm something cause they say I'm no /
Sometimes I think my whole existence is a scary joke /

I can buy new clothes and act accordingly /
Make out I've changed my ways and talk properly /
I can even pretend that it's reality but it'll never be real, it's just a fantasy /
I can say that don't when I so clearly do /
I can call it my home but I still feel a stray /
I can hide from the truth an try and play the game but at the end of the day, I still remain the same /
Wish I had the courage to cease unnecessary events /
But if I didn't lie, I might not have as many friends /
I'm scared they'll laugh at who I am, so I paint on a face /
I'm a joke, a disgrace, I don't know my place /
Honesty the hardest thing when your as scared as me /
Even although I'm pretty sure the truth will set me free /
Beneath the surface I'm a wreck although my face is poker /
Every days a contradiction when you play the joker /
