This sounds damn good.

The Budos Band is an amazing 10-piece funk band from Staten Island. The Wu-Tang Clan is the best hip-hop group ever. Put em together and you get The Wudos Band, produced by Tekst of The Higher Concept, producer/engingeer for artists such as RZA, Inspectah Deck, Kool G Rap, GZA, Sean Price, Remedy, Trife Diesel, and plenty of other notable artists; brought to you by Shaolin’s own Cloud Kicker Original and Emilio Sparks. This is a mash-up of classic Wu-Tang verses over beats sampling the gritty funk sound of The Budos Band.

Joey has another cat, called Cooper. I think that one’s better behaved.

YES! The Brown Bear is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Long time Don-watchers will know Don Loves Him Some Bear (No Pedo).  Bearman is one of my favourite UK emcees ever. His LP was a slept on UK classic, a well rounded, well crafted, expertly spat piece of awesome (especially the song about his mum, best UK mum song EVAH).  Well, Jah and Superman be prased, Mr 6  Foot Six And A Hundred Stone is BACK BACK BACK, and he’s still got it, and I am excited to hear what he does next.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR!
