With a production credit list that includes Madlib, Alchemist, Oh No and Jake One, Roc C‘s forthcoming long player Stoned Genius promises to be one of 2012’s juiciest blooms: this track has a wickedly oozy febrile feel, DANK as y’like, scratches and vocals seemingly touched by a contact-high smooch from Satan himself. If you can find the Alchemist-produced ‘Starchild’ track as well, you’ll be a happy super-baked bunny.

More bass. ScHoolboy Q. Arctic harshness with the music, straight-twisted derangement on the mic, either a genius or a flash in the pan, but either way utterly compelling.

MORE BASS. One of Nottz‘ most addictive productions ever, emerging from strange waves of ambient synth, propelled on with tight hard, loose-abstract music, piano ringing into yr skull,nagging Oriental guitar, Nefew‘s lines a beautifully composed look at the mix of anger, ambition and hyper-critical knowledge that being a hip-hop fan is in 2012. Excellent, and the album Man Vs Many should be one to drop a few dimes on.

MORE BASS THAN IS STRICTLY NECESSARY. Fucking LOVE the bass on this. Burrows into your consciousness like a Tremors worm. Addictive as baklava garnished with crack. ESSENTIAL.

And whilst we’re on MORE BASS THAN IS STRICTLY NECESSARY & mainstream things you can’t resist (Ke$ha) this remix is the best Wiz & Wayne have done for ages. Great drag-queen video as well. [Damn, that IS one great drag-queen video! – Ed] Nigh-on irresistible

“THE INDUSTRY IS DEAD/LONG LIVE THE KING”Murs on fire here, Skibeats on the mix, so you know you’re gonna get tuff-as-fuck beats, pulsating soulful Hammond, righteous backing vox splattered all over the shop. On the flip hear ‘SkiBeatz’ for the biggest rampaging hip-hop sound since the years of ‘Muzik N Hour Mess Age’. No shit.
