You didn't miss anything at Glasto with Nas, he was in a dreadful venue, the sound was atrocious and the tent was horribly overcrowded, I think I left after about 3 songs - was gutted as I was really looking forward to seeing him.

Kind of glad I skipped it now, and luckily I saw him play Illmatic (and a couple of other tracks) at Lovebox later on that year.

I really don't like Sonic as a venue. Unless you're right at the front (which I never am) it always feels like I'm on the outside looking in. Bring back Dance East!

Kano and Blackalicious are both on the Silver Hayes line up

[JamieKThomas]

Silver Hayes line up is out, here's a list of Grime/Hip Hop I could find. 

• BBC 1Xtra Takeover
• Bugzy Malone
• Charlie Sloths
• Craig David
• Isiah Dreads
• J-Hus
• Idris Elba
• Kano
• KSI (lol)
• Kurupt FM
• Lady Lesgurr
• Novelist (yessssss)
• Preditah
• Tiggs Da Author
• WSTRN
• Yungen. 
• Section Boyz
• Ms Dynamite

All I can say is WOW! When Neil said we would have a lot of Grime I didn't expect this, great to see Novelist there, also thing Yungen will be great, Bugzy, Craig David, Isiah Dreads....great list in my opinion!

So happy to see him there, been listening to him non stop recently. Also good to see another younger in Isaiah Dreads there too.

Big fan of the lineup. Would recommend Butterz takeover, Levelz, Oneman, Siobhan Bell and Rejjie Snow for grime/hip hop.

What stuff would you recommend I listen to from Novelist? Heard a lot of good stuff about about him.

[EighteenSixty7]

Holding out for more Hip-Hop (one day we'll get The Roots). Grime isn't my thing at all.

You've got to be happy with DJ Premier then? Arguably the best Hip Hop producer ever, not sure what he does for his live sets but assuming he'll just be playing songs he's produced.

Oh yeah I'm happy with him. Hopefully more on the way!

Novelist, Blackalicious, Kano, Toddla T, Ms. Dynamite, Yungen, J Hus are all such good bookings, I'm thrilled.

i'm in the same boat, i'm hoping there some more Hip Hop thrown around the site, I my ears can't seem to get on with Grime

Aesop Rock is my big hope, he's touring America  pretty much constantly either side of the festival but he's got a strange gap from the 18th to the 26th of June

plus his new album is sick

amazing announcements

[dentalplan]

Mentioned up the page, Rejjie Snow, and the Archy Marshall (King Krule)-featuring collective Sub Luna City are some cool lesser-knowns for non-grime peeps to have a look at.

Been told Section Boyz are a must see, I shall investigate as I know nothing

Would give Take Time and 1 Sec a listen, both collabs with Mumdance, have to say I've not listened to huge amounts of him but saw him at Blissfields last year and he was really good

Chance's 3rd mixtape "coloring book" has dropped overnight.  Just giving it a first listen, Acid rap is for me the best hip hop record of the last few years, so I have high hopes for this record.

Yeah stoked to hear this - Acid Rap was really great. Had it on repeat for weeks when it first came out

YESSSSSSHHHHH!!!!

Any good so far?

[Spindles]

Just at the end, sometimes more soulful sometimes more commercial.  Motifs from 10 day and Acid rap bring the 3 together nicely.  As with any hip hop, it needs a really good sunny afternoon to get the best from it, so I'll make a better judgement after lunch.  Blessings, the album closer is fantastic, ticks lots of boxes for me, great production.

Cool. Any guests?

[Spindles]

Loaded with them.  Kanye, Lil Wayne, even Bieber gets a spot.

I'm halfway through it.. Good vibes so far.

Very different to Acid Rap and Surf but it was always going to be to be fair.

Love this bloke.. Desperate to see him.

 

[big__phil]

I really like it. Probably the best thing he's done so far.

Stumbled across this last night as well. Loads of stuff in there about Kanye, Phife, Donny Trumpet and more.
