Zelly Rock - Chops and Props

Zelly Rock - Chops and Props
(CD) Zelly Rock Sound, 2006


Zelly Rock's third album features heavy Reggae-influenced, off the Block, West Coast Rap with conscious Hip-Hop vibes. I discovered him while doing research for my It's The New Hip Hop Thing compilation released last February on CD by Vibrations/Harmonia Mundi. His collaboration album with Sleep (from Oldominion), Combination Lock is just a MUST BUY for those who like their Reggae drenched into Hip Hop colors. And now I'd like to hear more. Chops and Props is the third solo album from Zelly Rock. He also released High Grade Exports in 2005 as Don Dignitaries (with RK-1). Anyone who's got any of those records would be so generous to take the time to contact us, so that I might get the chance to give them a listen... Thanks in advance!

(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
