All i can say about Louis Den is "sick" bad meaning good....Its special.. producers from Scotland, England and Wales congregate in Birmingham to network, showcase and compete. Apart from having Jehst, Ralph rip shit, Scamma, Fozzie, Sonny Jim, and Redbeard ...there were producers that have produced for Havoc (mobb deep), Sean Price (bootcamp), Red Cafe, Sha Stimuli, Infamous Mobb, Immortal Technique, Agallah, Dudley Perkins, Oddisse, Guilty Simpson, Lupe Fiasco and more im sure you would have struggled to get that may heads together anywhere in the world

As far a the UK is concerned I'm struggling to name any Mc's that are not backed by the people in that room....

If your into beats and or just hiphop for that matter you need to check LOUISDEN beat battles...there off the chain.

A piece of news that will affect 99% of the hiphop heads i know the legend that was Guru is no more...R.I.P never to be forgotten and always a cornerstone of hiphop as we know it.



Press release from Yo promotions who had been dealing with all Gurus business since the start of his aliments at the start of 2010 comes as a pretty major shock the hiphop community at large..

SEEMS YO PROMOTIONS SITE HAS GONE DOWN DUE TO OVERLOAD HERE'S THE CACHED PAGE

As you can imagine the fact that Guru was in a makes it a little shocking he can pen a letter which Solar could not have penned better himself basically handing all physical and emotional rights over to Solar including the care of his son and all money/assets until Gurus son is off 'age'.

Make up your own minds but as Premier says 'I can’t accept this. R.I.P. Guru, play his songs!! He will be remembered for ever and ever!!'.

R.I.P Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal

As apart of his new release and hype if there is any Gil Scott Heron's dirty croak is blended up with a neat verse from Nas ...the NEW YORK fad continues and is superb...

Im New Here - out now on XL

Gil Scott Heron "New York Is Killing Me" feat. Nas

Great this is classic hiphop accapelas backed up with crazy bit crushed madness...just what we like here at comabeat...take a listen...

GhostlyCast#33: Hot Helmet Touch - Mux Mool by ghostly

Saw my man supporting someone at the hare and hounds....he must have been good as i cant at the moment remember who..(no offense meant to that who) but anyway he has an e.p coming soon and here's a track taken from said e.p...WA GWAN...tis big...
