What started as a post inspired by a piece on Certified Banger snowballed into something that probably requires several posts. Time is precious at the moment so to hell with it. First up is the Scor-zay-zee The Starter download, an offering that re-affirms the confident delivery and wit and perceptive lyrics evident when he released Great Britain. Its great to hear his Nottingham burr back on the mic and the highlights of The Starter are his ability to poke fun at mainstream rap and his imaginative re-working of The Message. Hopefully the attention he’s been receiving over the past six months will provide the motivation to release the great album that lurks within him. 

When investigating The Starter I didn’t expect was to click through to a site that houses lots of free Nottingham based music. Not only is Scorz featured but compadres Tempa, Lee Ramsey and C-Mone et al are all on board. Anyone who used to buy the superb Big Daddy/Grand Slam magazine will be aware of their talent. For more information it’s worth checking the Son Records label too.

BTW Certified Banger is also promoting the latest installment of his On The Radar series and also helped make Bonafide issue 03, providing an excellent interview with Farma G from Task Force. Props.
