Disco Scratch

First of all I hope all the readers and subscribers to this site have had a great holiday period, and to all those that have had financial problems (actually, to those that haven’t as well!) I wish you all a prosperous and healthy new year.

I thought I’d post something up to let you know what is coming up in 2009.

First of all, over the weekend I will be upping a show of mine & Duce’s from 1993 which I ripped yesterday.  This will be followed with the next Simon Harris Breaks LP, with the rest following one a week over the next 5 weeks.

I will also hopefully be adding a great resource to the site, courtesy of Ambush, one of the most knowledgeable heads of UK Hip Hop I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  This will be a (hopefully) fully searchable database of UK Hip Hop artists & their releases, with playable audio clips of every track.  There have been databses around before, some fantastic ones, and I hope that this will cover as many of the UK tracks released as I can possibly find.  If you are able to contribute, let me know, just a a comment.

The podcasts will continue throughout 2009, with personal friends and well known heads from the golden era of UK Hip Hop.

I am also going to be going through my video collection and gradually ripping content from that to upload to the Disco Scratch YouTube Account, which will be exclusive once again.

Well, I am also looking for a venue in Birmingham to have a monthly old school Hip Hop night.  I love the frontin’, posturing and boasting of Hip Hop, and the willingness to use your skills to beat others and be the best, so combining this with an uptempo party vibe and I reckon it’ll be a good night.  I reckon the first one will be in the spring, say around April, I’ll keep you posted.  I’m looking for people to help promote, advertise and arrange as I don’t have a huge amount of time on my hands… so if you are interested, please let me know!

So, subscribe in iTunes or your RSS software and keep checking back for the exclusive stuff…

This is on one of the Infamous Rap show tape rips I’m doing, from January 1992, the audio is below (listen or download)

In the chorus he says “Rock the girl G, I’m gonna give you every inch of my love” and before I heard the bit Rock the girl G I thought it was Craig G.

I haven’t heard this on a 12 and it’s not on the Kingpin LP (that’s if I’m correct, maybe not!)

Any chance someone can ID it?  It’s from a tape dated January 1992.
