This new release from the Breakin’ Bread
collective is the labels first foray into the 12” market and it
builds nicely on the success of their recent sellout LP “The Deadly
7” Sins”. The boys have gone for the 12” format to convince the
doubters out there about the hip hop credentials of the collective
behind the club that is critically acclaimed for representing all
elements of funk and hip hop culture. This is the first in a series
of hip hop 12”s from the crew and their stated aim is to represent
the funkier side of the UK Hip Hop scene.
Rob Life/Cappo/DPF “Focus On The Main Features”
For many this was the highlight of the Breakin’ Bread LP and after
a lot of hassle from all over the world the boys have decided to
release it on 12”. Rob Life shows that he is not all about “cut
up” tracks and he comes correct with a “funkier than thou” bassline
and snapping drums. He has recruited 2 of his favourite UK MC’s
to swap verses on the track. Cappo hails from “Notts City” and he
has released a couple of hard EP’s on SON records as well as working
hard on all 3 releases from the HEAVY BRONX EXPERIENCE. DPF first
emerged from the freestyle sessions hosted by the Def-Tex crew in
Norwich and he has blessed the open mic session at the BB club many
a time. We hope you will agree that the vocal styles complement
each other and the rhythms very nicely...
Rob Life/Kashmere “Iguana Verses”
Rob completely flips his production style on this brand new track
with a deep rolling bassline, that hard boom bap and some dope key
patterns. The track features Kashmere (aka The Iguana Man) who was
first discovered at the Breakin’ Bread open mic session with the
crowd in the palm of his hand. Since then Kashmere has been MC’ing
for the BB crew at the many guest DJ spots that they have played
all over the UK and he has recently released his own EP - “Raw Styles”)
on Receptor Records. With his unique flow and complex lines this
MC is destined to make a big impact on the UK scene.
Watch out for more “IGUANA” material with the BB crew and other
labels.
For all those that are missing the Breakin’ Bread SEVENS SERIES,
don’t worry more tasty 7”s are coming your way soon.
