Rest In Peace Derek B

Very sad news reached me today that Derek B has died of a heart attack at the age of 44, in Charing Cross Hospital, London.

He kick started his career as a DJ in the late 80's under the name Easy Q, and dropped his first single 'Rock The Beat' on Music Of Life Records in 1987. He was one of the first UK rappers to get some decent chart success with his later singles 'Get Down', 'Bad Young Brother' & 'We've Got The Juice' and even appeared on Top Of The Pops.
He released the 'Bullet From A Gun' album in 1988 on his Tuff Audio label via Music Of Life/Phonogram, and also signed with Russell Simmons' Rush Artist Managment in the US, shining the light on the ever expanding Hip Hop scene here in the UK.

As someone who grew up with Derek B's music (and still plays it out to this day), I just wanna say Rest In Peace to a 'bad young brother' and pioneer of the British rap scene.

Here's some education to those who may not know of the legacy he's left behind...

Rhyme Asylum live footage

Incase you need convincing on just how sick Rhyme Asylum are, peep this compilation of footage taken from some of their recent live shows...

Suspect Packages Live

Ok, so last night didn't go quite to plan, one side of the sound system got blown half way through the night risking the whole lot going up in smoke, not good. This meant we couldn't put on Micall Parknsun & Joker Starr, also not good. Children Of The Damned and Skuff & Inja did get to lace the stage, and massive props to both sets of crews for reppin' fully and making the journey from Liverpool & Cambridge.

I don't think the shabby weather helped either as the whole of Brick Lane seemed like a ghost town, most bizarre? Where we're all the heads?? This scene and its artists need your support otherwise it isn't gonna survive, trust me.
BIG respek to everyone that did come down and show love, hope you had a good night, despite the dramas with the sound everyone did from the feedback recieved...

The good side of this is that Micall Parknsun and Joker Starr have agreed to perform at next months Suspect Packages Live taking place on the 13th of November, alongside Sonny Jim & the Eat Good Records crew, AND Tactical Thinking! All for £4.... Be there or be boring as fuck downloading albums for free and not supporting the artists that make them... One.
