Certified Banger provides constant coverage on UK hip-hop and deserves props for covering everyone from famous names to those scheming in the underground to new heads beavering away in their bedrooms working out how to use an MPC. Based just a short distance from Bonafide HQ, the man behind the plan has been really helpful to the magazine in terms of providing material and helping us get Bonafide out there to the masses. Props!

Certified Banger is also a great place to get your hands on some fantastic mix-tapes. A personal favourite is the old-but-gold C-Mone vs the Indie Boys. C-Mone was part of the Out De Ville collective that included Scor-zay-zee. The latter was responsible for the banging and incendiary Great Britain track, is apparently set to release a new LP and will shortly be seen alongside the excellent Paddy Considine in Shane Meadow’s Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee.
