I wish for sunnier climbs, somewhere hot like spain but you know what I won’t complain. Sometimes, I feel the city’s cursed, Its just changed for the worse like the seven chards of memory we’ll never reverse I toss and turn without cease but cannot transverse see regret in my eyes as my dreams disburse. And as I curse, below me feel the twilight gloom Up above see the black clowds cover the moon Its all too soon now, maybe just a few sweet hours before I leave this heat and have to brave these showers. Rush hour on the the streets and the subway tunnels. Only these beats keep me sain as I walk through the channels As people march never talk eyes down to the ground Lost souls as they walk though the mist and then down. Though the mist and then down. x2 Hit the underground now, lifts stairs and escalators bringing me down To a labrynth of dead air, mechanical sounds, As the rain on my hair turns to sweat and I drown. In my minds eye casting away from this town … away from this town.. take me away from this town. take me away now, please just take me away, cause I never really ever want to face this day and I don’t give a fuck.. if there’s hell to pay, Cause this life that I live, leaves me fading away. I wanna turn, yes I wanna turn and run, from the sadness and mist to the heat of the sun. From the bleat of this strife. In the beat of a drum, to the white sand, palm tree’s beats and the rum. No I aint got no axe, let alone to grind, I just wanna leave this dark feeling all behind I could leave today, I could break my binds, See the sun bring light to the dark in my mind. London Stansted, Luton, Gatwick or Heathrow. All I need’s ticket and away ill go. Fuck off the mortgage and bank loans that feed my woe. I can fly to the blue sky’s, and feel the glow. Of the sun. Feel the glow of the sun X3 Feel the glow As the weight of a ton seems to lift from my chest, I can run, I can fly, I can ride on the crest of the wave that is hope, Yes I’ll clamber abreast of my dreams and head south to begin my quest take me away now, please just take me away, cause I never really ever want to face this day and I don’t give a fuck.. if there’s hell to pay, Cause this life that I live, leaves me fading away. http://www.figuresofspeech.co.uk/hip-hop-forum/article1496.htm RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY PRESENTS BRAINFEEDER LONDON @ FABRIC fabric 2010-03-08T01:26:35Z 2010-02-17T05:11:02Z In case you missed it, make sure you check out this free 320 of ‘IOIO’ from Nosaj Thing over at bassmusicblog: [url]http://bassmusicblog.com/tag/nosajthing[/url] Taken from his debut album, Drift, it is on a really nice mellow vibe.

With a line up as strong as this why rely on special guests? Shortee Blitz is a shining light of the Hip-Hop scene in the UK. Whether supporting traveling US stars, holding it down on one of his weekly Kiss FM show or tearing the roof off clubs all over the globe one thing is for certain and that is that this MOBO award winning DJ is always going to be spinning with a smile on his face. Even more so now he is a resident at for a night dedicated to the Hip-Hop & Soul styles he truly loves. DJ 279 has been rocking the airwaves since 1992 on London’s Choice FM. With MOBO nominations coming thick and fast `alongside other awards throughout the year and gigs around the world it is fair to say that Numbers has the ear of the underground with every MC worth his weight in gold plaques coming though the show to shout out London. His sets at On The Real have become a highlight of the night and always leave the dance-floors sweating and smiling. DJ MK first came to prominence through his now infamous mid 90's mixtapes that are still the prize possessions of those wise enough to keep their tape decks well oiled. They now represent the blueprint for the sounds that MK will be spinning at this new night. When away from his day jobs as Roots Manuva's DJ & as Kiss FM's Thursday night Hip-Hop DJ extraordinaire he will be found doing what he does best, rocking crowds with the sounds of his beloved Hip-Hop. Spin Doctor is the driving force behind the phenomenal success of The Doctor's Orders and while not planning domination of the UK's party scene is most at ease behind a set of decks. The early influence of his 5 older brothers and sisters record collections developed into an obsession with soul tinged music of all styles which he uses to this day when treating dance-floors to his fearless sets of party platters. DJ Snuff is an esteemed figure in UK Hip-Hop culture. After founding the notorious 'Speakers Corner' event in London he has become a key player in the international Hip-Hop movement 'End Of The Weak'. A true-school scratch DJ and crate digger known worldwide for rocking MC cyphers with the leading names of today and tomorrow, representing the raw no-sellout side of Hip-Hop in his energetic club sets. ROOM 2: Southern Hospitality present Southern Swing (Life of Riley) After the great work done by the Trill boys over the last few months the Southern Hospitality crew take over the touch for this new Room 2 line up dedicated to the sounds of 90’s R&B and New Jack Swing.
