We are biting back at the credit crunch and support the scene at ground level give all you lovely people FREE downloadable music and all the very talented artists an out let when the majors are cutting back.

SturbanClothing as teamed up once again with the UK’s leading Hip-Hop DJ’s Tricksta and he is back with another superb mixtape full of home-grown goodness. Yes that’s right folks; UK Runnings along with SturbanClothing is back with something rather cool… a new FREE download mixtape series called “The Digital Revolution” Promising to deliver exclusives and rare tracks by some of the UK’s most well names, this series also promises to give up tracks by lesser known up and coming artists. Each volume is hosted by a different UK act, and with an army of MC’s in the wings this is surely going to be part of UK Hip Hop history. Volume One kicks off with guest host LATE, the Midlands rapper that exploded in the game back in 1999 as part of the well-respected rap crews Villains and Wolftown Committee. Since then he has carved a niche and is now a solo artist in his right. Currently enjoying the underground success of his full-length album “Below Street Level”, LATE takes time to give up three tracks and host the mix in his own unique way and style. “The Digital Revolution” has now begun, so please get ready for the uprising of UK Runnings… the UK’s number one mixtape series for cutting edge UK Hip-Hop & Grime.

Bringdaruckus.com (BDR) was the brainchild of Chris Torres who was shocked at the lack of attention Scottish hip-hop gets within the music industry and felt it was time for a change. Chris said, "I was looking to find more information on Scottish hip-hop but found it difficult to locate information on new releases, gigs and artists. Apart from the Scottish hip-hop forum there was not much else. This is when I thought about starting up a website that could remedy this problem. The aim was to build an online community for hip-hop in Scotland. A place where homegrown acts can showcase their talent and fans can get the latest gig information in Scotland." On April 1st 2006, bringdaruckus.com was born.

Drifter Jon we like to try and support interesting people who are doing what they do for the love of it and are basically into sturban clothing and that's how we came across Jon Beezy, here's his bio in his words, we like him but before we go into it we found out 2 interesting facts. His track car does 5 MPG, and for every event he spends £400 on tyres, and that's why this guy needs free clothes from us;-)

December 2008 - sturban clothing Radio Show by Tricksta

Full of Christmas cheesiness Tricksta is back like a little kid in a sweet shop high on crack and toting a machine gun and he's picked some of my personal favorite dubstep tacks to include in this mix.

Tricksta on sturban clothing blog

This month TRICKSTA releases his new UK Runnings mixtape in conjunction with sturban clothing entitled "100% Exclusive". The thirty-track mixtape features fifteen tracks produced by TRICKSTA as well as seeing him produce and direct his first DVD. It’s a massive release and is already causing a stir on the underground. Alex Davello went to find out more from the man who helped to put Wolverhampton on the Hip-Hop map…


So tell us Tricksta how long did this project take to make?
I started it in the summer of 2007 and it was complete in July 2008. I wanted to make a project with sturban clothing that really stood the test of time, and I guess by making all the tracks exclusive I have done that. I also wanted to do a DVD. I've wanted to do a DVD for ages, so I thought why not do it on this project.


So for those that don’t know tell us who features on the mixtape.
Well I always try and rep different endz. From Wolverhampton I got LATE, 10Shott, Jai Boo, Size8, A1, Conman and myself. I got some sick skits cut up by Jabba Tha Kut who also got me an exclusive from Magishan, and they are both from Bournemouth. I got Bristol being repped by Kelz and Trz aka The Souljah Clique, Bungle from Sheffield, Double E from Gloucestershire, Kid Rad from Lichfield, Unfriendly Neighbours from Tamworth, Deadline from Birmingham, Hard Livin from Essex, and London artists Swift It Major, Reain, Big Cakes, Logic, Manny Moscow, Cons from The Colony, Jimmy Raygun, Debonair, P.A.C and Yaeo.

And the DVD?
It features some of the people on the mixtape as well as Blak Twang, Million Dan, Supar Novar, an interview with HHBRadio.Com and a street artist from the Midlands called Matt "The Artist". There are a few unseen music videos too. It’s around an hour long because I didn’t want it to be boring.

UK Runnings has been moulding a string bond with sturban clothing. Tell us more about that.
Glyn is like family to me. He has always understood UK Runnings and what it is all about (promoting and pushing quality home-grown hip-hop music). We hooked up when he sponsored a volume of UK Runnings around 2005. The rest is history... Since then we’ve done a total of three mixtape releases ("sturban clothing Mix", "Music For The MySpace Generation" and now "100% Exclusive"), I also do a monthly radio show which is broadcast on sturban clothing website (to listen go to the website at www.sturbanclothing.com, scroll down and at the bottom left hand corner simply click Urban Shop Radio. sturban clothing sponsor me throughout too, so you can guarantee if you ever see me in some sick garms and want to know where they are from they are from www.sturbanclothing.com.

So do you have a fourth mix planned?
Yes we do, it won’t be out until 2009, but the next release from us will be called "Urban Runnings". It will be a double CD that features different genres such as UK Hip-Hop, Grime, Dubstep and Drum’n’Bass. It’s going to feature some guest DJ’s.


And UK Runnings? Anything else planned there?
Well yeh, I am just compiling "Flying The Flag" which as a collaboration project with Lunatrix from HHBRadio.Com. That’s going to be a double CD with 50 tracks! Massive release with loads of exclusives.

So as a producer and mixtape DJ what else have you been up to Tricksta?
You know me, always got loads of projects on the go! I have just produced LATE’s debut album "Below Street Level" which a tight fourteen track CD that features the likes of Willie D from the Geto Boys, K-Rino and JT The Bigga Figga. Now I am starting to work on tracks for my debut album "Urban Mathematics" which is planned for a release late 2009/early 2010. There are other things I am producing too but I am sworn to secrecy! Mixtape wise, just done mixes with KB Da Kidnappa, Keak Da Sneak, The Jacka, 2025NYC.Com, LATE and many more.


What would you say have been your biggest achievements in Hip-Hop so far?
Releasing over fifty Hip-Hop CD’s on my own record label, all of them official, and all pressed up. No big thing for any USA record label, but for a bloke from the Black Country I think that’s a big statement! Working with some of the biggest names in the scene (both UK and USA), being asked to present the award to best Hip-Hop act at the UMA’s in 2007, Willie D from The Geto Boys rapping on one of my beats, producing a track on K-Rino’s last album that came out in the USA and putting my city on the Hip-Hop map. Big up everyone from Wolverhampton!



So where can you get "100% Exclusive"?
As with all Wolftown Recordings releases you can get them from HMV, Zaavi, iTunes, Play.Com etc, and if some reason they haven’t got it in stock everything is always on www.wolftownrecordings.com.

Okay before you go, anything else you want to say?
Yeh, I run a promotions company. Any UK or US artist looking to get exposure should get in touch www.myspace.com/parkstreetpromotions. Come and see why we got 5000 in three months of launching the MySpace page. There are more details on the website at www.parkstreetpr.co.uk.

Thanks for the chance to do this interview and much love to everyone involved in this project from Glyn at sturban clothing – check www.sturbanclothing.com and get yourself some new garmz, Luna & Vokal from OYM Media who dealt with the DVD and some music videos, all the artists that contributed to it and a massive shout out to the sponsors… Abuze London, Mada, Ambiguous Clothing and Nomis.

‘In The Heat Of The Night’

DJ OPHAX & TRICKSTA Present - ‘In The Heat Of The Night’ (Hosted by NATIVITY & RELOAD)

More evidence of Team AFF Europe doing big things. Here we see Ophax & Tricksta team up for a nice UK/USA mix that really hits the spot. Ophax gets the ball rolling nicely with some killer cuts from Nativity, as well as some killer bars from some underground cats such as Billz, D-Dash, Big Skeem, Switch and The League. Tricksta comes in with Reload the host for his section and it sees Saigon, Beanie, Geolani, A-Pinks, Lil Wayne, Hell Rell, Dino West and 10Shott all kill the bars alongside some killer cuts from the man they call Reload. This mix is a good selection of tracks and is put together so well. Make sure you go and cop this. This mix is available for free download at datpiff so make sure you check for that now!!!

‘War & Peace’

WOLFTOWN Present PAPOOSE - ‘War & Peace’ (Mixed by LATE & TRICKSTA)

Wolftown really are the leading force in the UK for Hip-hop music. Without a doubt they do more work in one month than most UK labels do in a year! Now head-honcho’s LATE & TRICKSTA are back with a mix hosted by non-other than Brooklyn’s number one ryhmer Papoose. Twenty-seven tracks deep this CD showcases a whole bunch of Papoose tracks and collobo’s that a lot of people would not have heard before, as well some killer tracks by NYC acts that are on the same tip. Watch out for St. Laz, Geolani, Hot Rod, Termanology, Red Café, Saigon and DV Alias Khryst who all murk it as do UK heavy hitters Jai Boo, LATE, 10Shott, Conman and Reload. This CD is a massive release and something you need to get up on. Big up Papoose, straight bars everytime!

The Urban Shop Mixtape: "Street Level faves Tricksta and the Wolftown empire dominate this months box of street heat ‘Uk Runnings; The Urban Shop Mixtape’ is the latest spin off in the renowned ‘UKRunnings’ saga.

HHBRadio Midland based internet radio station: HHBRadio V2 hosted by Joe Gutta and mixed by DJ Vokal. “It pulls together a wealth of cuts from across the land, with songs from Blade, Mr Ti2bs and Late all hitting the spot.” HHC it goes on with another mention by Excalibah “If you’re after a cheeky trip underground the HHBRadio have put together their second compilation, ingeniously entitled ‘The Mix CD.’ It include contributions from established acts such as Blade, Karizma, Doc Brown, Mr Ti2bs, Conspicuous and TB as well as lesser know acts who are just as tight; Phoenix Quarter, Sonny Jim, Mr Drastik and Reload spring to mind. At 32 tracks deep this is a complete smorgasbord of talent from across the UK provided by one of the more auspicious online radio stations.” Excalibah for HHC

Don’t forget The Urban Shop radio on HHBRadio.com every Thursday 8-9pm GMT hosted by Tricksta.


UKRunnings 6: “Showing no signs of running out of steam, Tricksta’s mixtape series goes 6 deep with Conman acting as our gracious host and presiding over the usual high quality grab bag of home-grown hip hop. Like it’s predecessors it’s an effective showcase for UK rap’s current strength in depth, from the urgent sonic excursions of MD7 to the elastic mic manoeuvres of PLO (I go whole weeks with no sleep/ cos my clique got no sheep like Bo Peep) and cheeky chappy charisma of Mud Fam graduate Mr ti2bs.” HHC
