This weekend has seen us slaving over the artwork for our Mr. Lif feature for issue 03. Tasters to the article can be found here but the best bits are being kept for the hardcopy. Inevitably the artwork session saw us bumpin to some of Lif’s classic material and reminded us of a couple of free (and legal) downloads floating around on the web.
The I Heard It Today mixtape is on the promotional tip, while the Definitive Swim compilation (Def Jux hooks up Adult Swim) is worth checking purely for the kinetic Brothaz Remix with Cannibal Ox joining Lif on mic duties. Sure to wake you up on a Monday morning on the way to work!

Miniature people have been in vogue in advertising and illustration for the past few years but original trailblazer Slinkachu is still well ahead of the pack; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say. As part of the Fame Festival, he’s recently been decorating Italian streets with his little pieces of street-art magic.
What is great about Slinkachu is his ability to recreate everyday scenarios with his tiny hand-painted, train-set people and inject such a real quality into the scene; the pieces pull you in and touch you with their hope, poignancy, love and melancholy. Like the size of the actors and actresses he works with, he has a delicate and light touch.

After 20 years, legendary UK produced Rap Monthly Hip-Hop Connection has sadly ceased print publication. HHC was an institution for hip-hop heads in the UK and abroad. Delivering our monthly fix through good times and bad and covering a diverse range of rap music from underground to overground, geeky backpackers to gun-toting jiggy gangsters and everything in-between.
The good news however is HHC is now resurrected in digital form. The even better news is it’s completely FREE. Click here to download your copy. Oh and check the DOOM interview. It’s big.
