CHIMA ANYA: The Surgery Triage (2014) Free download

You can’t say that Chima Anya doesn’t rap about what he knows about since, unlike that charlatan Dre, he is actually a practising doctor of medicine. Thus straddling two worlds, he is painfully aware of the way rap lyrics have traditionally tended to glorify the dealing and consumption of narcotics without providing a contrasting voice. Here he aims to rectify that. You may be aware of the running joke that the NHS prescribes paracetamol for anything from the common cold to global flu pandemics. In Prescription however, Anya employs the medium of paranoid downbeat hip-hop to tackle …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHIMA ANYA: You’ll See/ Me Being Me (2014) Free download

Chima Anya demonstrates his eclectic tastes by going in over two very different instrumentals and sharing his thoughts through the medium of rhyming verse. First up is a philosophical musing of You’ll See on the topic of beauty over the bleeping electronica of Mount Kimbie’s Before I Move Off. Of more interest to MB readers perhaps though is the braggadocio of Me Being Me against the backdrop of the b-boy-friendly Keep Talkin’ by…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHIMA ANYA: Guess I’ll Never (2014) video

Chima Anya‘s new video is a simple tale of a man misreading the messages from a woman. On the other hand it’s a simple tale of a woman misreading the messages from a man. Then again it’s a lesson to us all that sometimes a toy can be more fun than a real person. And when I say ‘toy’ I mean Nintendo 64 and when I say ‘person’ I mean rapping doctor Chima Anya. Or at least the hapless persona he dons for Valentine’s Day-themed video …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

KYMBERLEY KENNEDY: That’s What He Said (Grinny Grandad remix)(2014) Free download

Kymberly Kennedy‘s original That’s What He Said was a 80 proof slab of uptempo big horns-drenched funky breaks featuring an Aguilera-esque turn on the mic from Kymberly herself. Here York big beaters Grinny Grandad re-imagine That’s What He Said as a ghetto funk anthem (featuring KK’s Aguilera-esque turn on the mic) not a million miles …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHIMA ANYA: Let It Hang (prod. JEEDO 47)(2013) Free download

It’s been a while since that ‘other’ doctor of hip-hop, Chima Anya, has been featured round these parts but it would be a bum rap if Let It Hang didn’t get a look-in. Essentially, the doctor-rhymer goes in over Jeedo 47‘s ghettotech instro beat Let It All Hang Out, which itself cannibalises Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls, in praise of one of hip-hop’s perennial favourite topics – the female rear. Cheeky. Or as he puts it, “I never used to be an …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHIMA ANYA feat. Francis Mott: Flexible (2012) Free download

Unlike that charlatan Dre, UK rapper Chima Anya really is a doctor. He’s also ‘flexible’ as he reveals here going in over Oh No’s instrumental The Funk beat. Not flexible in the lap-dancer sense of course, he’s on about his easy-going disposition which facilitates changes of plans, and a general…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHIMA ANYA: ‘I’m Ill (It’s The Doctor)’ feat. Chemo
Here’s a little treat in the run-up to the release (or in the wake of the release – you can already buy it off play.com) of UK rapper Chima Anya’s debut LP New Day. As you’ll hear, he’s claiming he’s ‘ill’ a lot on this with, it has to be said, a not inconsiderable amount of justification. This is just as well seeing as…LISTEN/ READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM
