Hip-Hop by BringDaRuckus
Don't bother going if your walking the path of 8mile... but do if you're up for talking, laughs and smiles!

Welcome back to another roundup of hip-hop news and views brought to you by bringdaruckus.com, Scotland's ONLY dedicated website for Scottish hip-hop. Last issue I mentioned that BBC Radio Scotland are in talks to launch a show to help showcase Scotland's urban scene. Well no sooner was the column printed when Blackstreet hit the airwaves. Hosted by Laura McCrum, this six part show takes a look at music of black origin from a Scottish perspective. The first show featured an hour long interview and live set from Steg G & The Freestyle Master. Expect a mixture of jazz, funk and hip-hop every Tuesday from 8.05pm. Now here are Glasgow's April highlights:
DJ Format, Mixed Bizness, Glasgow Art School (06 Apr, 10.30pm - 3am, £8)
Mixed Bizness invites Brighton's DJ Format to Glasgow with a Scottish support of Boom Monk Ben and Bigg Taj. French DJ crew C2C also join in on the fun.
The Sugarhill Gang, Sub Club, Glasgow (05 Apr, 8pm, £12)
To help celebrate 20 years of the Sub Club, the legends that are The Sugarhill Gang will be performing alongside Scotland's own DJ Bunty. This is sure to be one hell of a night!
