Well its been a slow start to the year, and let's be honest, January never has been a great month! But there's always something to entertain us in the blogger-sphere, however dull the real world seems.
A White Boy MC's Photo Album, 1986-1991
Prime Minister Pete Nice has shared some of his photo collection along with the memories and insights for each picture. This provides a revealing look into 3rd Bass' history, but also many of the other artists they worked and toured with. Check the story about Flavour Flav's fake seizure at an airport, classic Flav.

Prince Paul Ill's Out
Back in 2005 Prince Paul started his World Famous Illout Show on XM radio. Eight shows later, it all came to an end for unknown reasons (which also meant that it never really became 'world famous'). But Paul has now shared the first episode, and it's great for throwing on in the background whilst you're doing something and packed with a broad selection of 90's nostalgia. Its also laced with anecdotal tales about many of the tracks or artists he's worked with, and not always in a positive light, which just adds to the entertainment!You Should Know
Spotted this little gem over on Repo's Ageing B-Boys blog, and if you haven't seen it already then its a highly recommended viewing. This track epitomises everything that was great about UK hip hop 20 years ago and stays true to the classic styles and techniques that made UK hip hop such a potent genre. And it's great to here some proper cutting up on a chorus again, nice work guys.If you want to support them, buy the single for £5 here - http://www.blinerecordings.bigcartel.com/product/chrome-illinspired-you-should-know
