Leeds Hip Hop Scene

Release Date: 16 April 07

This is the latest single to be dropped by the Foreign Beggars, it features the first ever Jehst and Foreign Beggars collaboration too so I’m intrigued if nothing else before I stick this on. The A-side’s “In It for a Minute” has some simple and morose production from Dag Nabbit, that seems to offer the listener a combination of both Underground Hip Hop with a mainstream simplicity. The MC’s Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis really let fly on this track with some really fast paced stories of life and death, with Graziella offering the harmonies bringing a contrast to the intensity of the verses.
 
Then we move on to ‘Black Hole Prophecies’ which features production by DJ Vadim. Vadim offers a dark and dreary sound with some big bass and a track that your just going to nod your head to no matter what. The chops and cuts of Vadim are perfectly executed but what do you expect from this guy? The Foreign Beggars are let loose again all over this track and you are fired with intelligent rhymes at all angles from this progressive hip hop track.

Finally we are brought on to the ‘Wild Wild East’ remix produced by UK rap dynamo Jehst. The chopped up Eastern music samples loop up in a way bringing a crazy Wild Western edge to the vibe. Jehst takes the lead on this track and really brings it together with cuts from DJ NoNames.
