MHz, the crew that contained RJD2, Jakki, Copywrite, Tage and Camu Tao are to re-release their album Table Scraps.

The decision to re-issue the album which went out of print in 2001 and is extremely rare came so as to give proceeds of the sale to the family of Camu Tao, who passed away last year of cancer. The release will hit iTunes and physical copies will also be available with updated cover artwork.

Goldielocks‘ free London night Hard Knock Wife is back with a stellar line-up in August.

The event will feature Mz Bratt, Hammer and Young Flames alongside DJ sets from DJ Yasmin and White Kids. The fun kicks off at The Social on Little Portland Street in W1 on August 12th at 7pm and runs through til midnight.

Bound to be large, so get on it!

As if having The Game on his case wasn’t enough, Jay-Z now has another person dissing him.

DJ Whoo Kid took offence to use of the word “kid” in Jigga’s D.O.A. track and decided to compare Jay to a camel. Kinda ridiculous, but pretty funny, as camels always are:
