Forget Jammer, it's the BNP sending for Lethal B now!
Article from the British National Party (BNP) website about Lethal B's recent incitement for the murder of their leader Nick Griffin:
British National Party legal officer Lee Barnes has laid a criminal charge against Ghanaian-origin rap singer “Lethal Bizzle” after he called for Nick Griffin’s murder on Twitter.
Lethal Bizzle, whose real name is Maxwell Ansah, sent out a Twitter message yesterday which read: “Got an idea, u wanna be famous? Kill the BNP leader, u will be a hero.”
Mr Barnes said this was a threat which could not be taken lightly.
“He is linked with black gun gangs in London and this constitutes a serious threat,” Mr Barnes said.
The Serious Crime Act 2007, section 45 states that a person commits an offence if:
(a)he does an act capable of encouraging or assisting the commission of an offence; and
(b)he believes–
(i)that the offence will be committed; and
(ii)that his act will encourage or assist its commission.
“Mr Ansah’s twitter is clearly an incitement to serious violence against Nick Griffin,” Mr Barnes said.
“Imagine if a threat like that had been issued by Mr Griffin against Mr Ansah. The BNP leader would have been arrested within minutes, but it seems that black rappers are somehow protected.”
They then quote some lyrics from his biggest tune, Pow! (which they describe as 'jungle noises') but fail to realize it's not his lyrics they're quoting as they copy and paste Jamakabi's quasi-patois verse...
It's definitly worth checking the comments to this article also, one of my favourite being one contributors' attempts to submit some additional lyrics:
I cant count so I use ma fingas,
I'm stuck on too pleeze help outta this singa
wun, too, ?
wun, too, for ?
wun, too, sevvun ?

Mr Hudson & Stylah - Anyone but him
Anyone But Him Feat STYLAHbymrhudson
Mercury recording artist Mr Hudson this afternoon announced on his twitter page that London rap artist Stylah has won the competition to feature on the UK edition of his new single 'Anyone But Him'.
The song, which features Kanye West on the original album version, is due for release in May with Stylah guest featuring. Stylah will also be joining Mr Hudson on stage to perform the track on his current UK tour.
Regulars to the site will remember that last November I posted up a version with Ghetts and Tinie Tempah. Which one's better do you reckon?
Video: T.I - I'm Back
He most certainly is back with this mammoth of a track, produced by TrackSlayerz off T.I.'s upcoming seventh studio album, King Uncaged.

Akala: Thinking outside the musical box
Check this article in London's free morning paper Metro about Mobo Award winning rapper Akala who, in case you were unaware, is the brother of garage queen Ms Dynamite...
‘I make no bones about loving music. I’m not scared of offending anyone who thinks I shouldn’t make metal or acoustic classical folk, or work with someone who’s composed for the English National Ballet if I want to.’
Along with several quickfire mixtapes, Akala’s acclaimed previous albums, Mobo-winning 2006 debut It’s Not A Rumour and 2007’s Freedom Lasso, continue to sell steadily, and also gave rise to the fruitful Hip Hop Shakespeare Company (he’s just returned from a youth writing workshop in Denmark).
The literary inspiration for new album Doublethink is George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. It’s not the first time Orwell’s classic has influenced records – David Bowie used it as the basis of his 1974 album Diamond Dogs; The Eurythmics released a synth soundtrack in the year 1984. But Akala’s apocalyptic vision is galvanising and beautifully arranged on numbers such as Welcome To Dystopia and Yours And My Children.
‘We wanted to approach this album like we were scoring a film,’ he grins. ‘To me, 1984 felt like prophecy rather than fiction. There are so many parallels with modern life and what seemed like preposterous ideas in the book.’
As a rapper, he was particularly struck by 1984’s use of totalitarian ‘newspeak’. ‘I was fascinated by the concept that limiting language limits people’s thinking. I actually see that working with young people who have brilliant ideas without the words to communicate them. It’s when you don’t have the tools to express yourself that you get violent. How is it that a “civilised” society is producing 16-year-olds who can’t read or write?
