“Sad news for Ryan Adams fans. The prolific alt country hero announced he is stepping down from music to concentrate on writing.
Adams broke the news via his blog explaining his reasons, ranting a little about how sick he is of the media circus surrounding his career and reassuring fans that he will pay again eventually.
He explained that he is suffering from Ménière’s disease, a debilitating inner ear condition, the symptoms of which include vertigo, severe nausea, vomiting and sweating. Coupled with Adams’ long standing stage fright, it’s clear to see why he’s taking it down a notch. With an exhaustive touring schedule in the last few years supporting the seemingly endless number of records he’s released he’s certainly earnt himself a little ‘me’ time.
In his own words “I just loved music so much man, I always will and that is all. I’m done now. Thank you whoever you were. I did all this work so I would not feel so lonely and I made it for you, whoever you are…”
The Cardinals will play their remaining US tour dates before their hiatus.
UK hip hop usually gets lumped into two boxes by those not in the know. The first is the box labelled “crap” and everything gets chucked in there by people who’d rather support the likes of Bishop Lamont and D12. The second is labelled “Roots Manuva” because that’s the only other UK rapper anyone ever seems to bother with.
But what lurks behind the peripheral of these people, what sits in the hip hop Matrix, is that extra special box. This box is labelled “dope” and in it contains gems from the likes of Jehst and Smurf and Asaviour. Take a look just outside of the box and there’s a track itching to be heard, so let’s start the process by clicking the link above and getting it going.
Cee-Why’s body-shaking beat on comes in like the crazy aliens in War Of The Worlds, making your spine shiver, your fingernails dig into your palms and your eyes widen. It ain’t organ-sucking E.T.s coming for you though, it’s the sound of some ridiculous MCs – newcomer Jyager [pronounced Yay-Ger] shows himself to be able to stand up to the guests on the track – Smurf, Micall Parknsun, Joker Starr and Kyza. Only YNR head honcho Jehst stands above him, but hey, who ever gets the better of Billy Brimstone?
By now you’ll be well into the track and I can predict what you’re going to do next. You’re gonna pick up the track and place it in that box labelled “dope”. Welcome Neo, this is the shit son.

The device cuts the noise off at very low levels and is sure to be a nail in the coffin of having fun at night’s out across the country. Help get attention to stop this ridiculous legislation by signing the petition below.
