The title track for the new LP "Seldom Seen
Often Heard" (feat. Verb T, Asaviour & Kashmere) has itself a dope
new video. Check it out here.
To promote "Seldom Seen Often Heard" Ghost will be playing a whole
bunch of shows up and down the UK. Helped out as ever by emcees
Verb T, Kashmere and Asaviour. To see where they’re going next,

A hip-hop producer and DJ of over ten years experience, Ghost’s
first 12", Ghost Stories, came out in 2002 and introduced Ghost’s
deeply musical approach. He developed his blueprint of hip hop with
a nod to the past and an eye firmly on the future as 2 more singles
followed on Breakin Bread and a number of his productions for MC’s
came out on other labels (Lowlife, Receptor, Suspect-Packages).
We struggle to describe his style because Ghost’s production refuses
to be categorised. It’s got that Boom Bap feel, it’s deep and layered,
it’s bringing a new edge to the scene and it’s just dope. Along
the way Ghost has picked up a strong following who buy everything
he does and he’s gained DJ support from the likes of Mr Scruff,
Skitz, Excalibah, Steve Lamacq, Semtex, and a host of international
DJ’s.
Kashmere, Verb T and Asaviour (Lowlife, Silent Soundz, Pepa and
Receptor)are with us for most of the ride as they feature on 6 tunes.
The first is the albums title track (a brooding menace of a tune)
and other highlights include The Payoff (a feelgood tune and one
of the best selling hip hop 12"s of 2005), Better Tomorrow (a deep
headnodder with a message) and Invisible Inc (a dark track laced
with messages that introduce a new crew to the scene).
Ghost shows us it’s not all about a stereotyped hip hop sound on
a few of the tracks. He joins forces with Abstract Rude from California
on the uptempo Basic Instinct (a look at what makes us tick) and
he takes us into summer vibes on Talk To Me where he’s brought in
Devorah for some beautiful vocals. There’s even a straight up instrumental
in Roundtrip.
