THE REAL LIVE SHOW (feat. SADAT X): Grind (Freqnik & WDRE remix)(2013)

Ah – that’s the joint! NYC rappers The Real Live Show get former Brand Nubian Sadat X on the flex for the hook of new track Grind from the Grind EP. Nickodemus’s original beat is a faster, darker number displaying clear Eastern-influences but what you really want to be checking is out is the remix from NY production crew…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

THE FUNK LEAGUE: Funky As Usual (2011)

THE FUNK LEAGUE: Funky As Usual (2011) + tracklist
I think I might move to France. The food’s better, they don’t take any shit off the government and The Funk League are from there. Formerly The Incredible Funk League, DJ/producers Hugo and Soulbrother Suspect have latterly dropped the ‘incredible,’ in a not very hip-hop downplaying of their prowess. But don’t worry – it’s the only un-hip-hop thing about this pair.…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

A STATE OF MIND: Root To The Fruit – 2010 – Single review

A STATE OF MIND: Root To The Fruit – 2010 – Single review
RATING: 4/5
For reasons best known to themselves ASM have given the A-side to this the dirtiest name and the B-side the dirtiest beat. Were the B-side the A-side it would be a instant 5 stars (and god alone knows what it would be worth if it had the A-side’s title too) – but we have to take into account that it isn’t. Not that I’ll let that stand in the way of my dealing out massive props to the Derek X (ooh – my bad -Sadat X) of Brand Nubian-featuring Certified Organic which…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

SADAT X – The Okie Doke/ Theatrics – 2008 – 7” review

SADAT X – The Okie Doke/ Theatrics – 2008 – 7” review
RATING: 5/5
It’s difficult to imagine what use an old school Harlem MC could have for a crackly, mournful cowboy lament and low-key drum and bass break and even harder to imagine it sounding good. Stetsons off to former Brand Nubian rapper Sadat X then for floating in effortlessly from the way off in the outer reaches of the leftfield with a rhyme about the hard life of the ordinary folks on blissed-out gem of a B-side Theatrics. Piano-tinkling A side The Okie Doke’s dope too. Utter genius.
Out now on Cult 45.
