What's good Slice-of-Spice fam?
I trust you're all having a very merry holiday season, and looking forward to a prosperous and happy new year. I certainly have my fingers crossed for a blessed 2011 for my family, and friends.
...that includes you too ;-)
My posts have been a little sporadic over the last few months, and with good reason. I was putting the finishing touches to the Brooklyn Flower 7 inch project with Damu The Fudgemunk, and my good friend JNOTA over at ReDef. The finished wax has arrived, and it's quite simply breathtaking. Twelve months in the making seems like a lifetime for me, but it really was a labor of love, and well worth the wait. I'll save the full story for a separate post, which will follow in the next few days. Stay tuned!
2010 also saw me officially join the Diggers With Gratitude crew, after helping out on the Tragedy, Black Rage Demos, release, which was an absolute pleasure. I've been down with these guys since my days back in London, and helped promote their releases in the US, and Japan, during my time with Wax Poetics. Now I'm holding down the Phill Most Chill/Paul Nice/Jorum Bombay 7 inch "Neva Stop Diggin'' and 'Smash!", and I have a few more treats in store for the DWG forum members, and subscribers. It's truly an honor working for what I consider to be the best indie hip hop label out there right now. As the US Operations Manager I'll be pressing up the labels first US releases, and liaising with artists and industry contacts to ensure the wax keeps coming. If you've got a slice that needs that DWG spice, drop me a line (email in comments) and we'll build.
I'll be posting details on all the wax getting pressed, on either the Slice-of-Spice, or DWG label, and there's plenty of vinyl rips and SOS Compilations in the locker, so 2011 should see normal services resumed. Hell, I may even take requests for the Similar Spice, Select F.E.W., and Cinematic Spice series.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of the holidays, and get ready for Spice to start heating things up.
