| 11 May 2007
Welcome back to another roundup of hip hop news and views brought to you by The Skinny in conjunction with bringdaruckus.com - Scotland's only dedicated website for Scottish hip-hop.
Project Mayhem are about to drop their new EP Creative Destruction on Dropzone Records. We caught up with MC Boomstick to talk about the EP and his thoughts on Scottish hip hop. You can read the full interview on the Skinny website: Hip Hop Highlights Pt 2.
Now lets see what May has to offer...
GLASGOW
Kelpe, DBLSPK, Sub Club (8pm-12am, £6, 3 May)
May's DBLSPK show sees critically acclaimed electronica don Kelpe display some of his 'head-nod-tronica' workouts. The diversity of the music that inspires Kelpe finds reflection in his own sonic adventures, informing his ever evolving sound, combining as map and compass to guide his space-bound b-boy throw-downs. Also on show is the fantastic Hudson Mohawk.
People Under The Stairs, King Tuts (8.30pm, £10, 17 May)
One of Los Angeles' finest hip hop groups comes back to Glasgow. Thes One and Double K are sure to make this another memorable night.
Greenskeepers, Mixed Bizness, The Arches (10.30pm-3am, £8, 18 May)
Mixed Biz returns to The Arches with a bumper edition for all you party people. Chicago's Greenskeepers bring their famous live show to town brimming with jack n'swing in support of their new Polo Club album, out now on OM Records. Finger Lickin's Krafty Kuts hits the ones and twos to show us why he's constantly voted the best DJ in the world by those in the hip hop and breakbeat community. Expect sickness!
EDINBURGH
Various Artists, Democrazy, Bongo Club (8.30pm – 2am, £0, 2 May)
Democrazy will roll into Edinburgh with a host of acts, DJs and short films for a one-off pre-election gig. The ever excellent Remedies and Action Group are just a couple of the acts on show.
Capital 1212, The Wee Red Bar (8pm, £0, 6 May)
Fly-T along with fellow old school nerds The Vapors Crew will be laying down some classic hip hop delights for your listening pleasure.
The Underling, Jazz Bar (11pm-3am, £0, 25 May)
If you like your hip hop as a fusion of funky keys, jazzy drumming and double bass madness then you must see The Underling. This is a rather unique experience that will not disappoint!
That's it for May.
