Nacho Picasso - High & Mighty


Nacho, sprays all Seattle competition with his new tape.  His nonchalance however is convincing enough to make a listener believe he recorded the whole shit in a day.  Nacho is a formidable force who doesn't care to polish up his verses... which may not benefit him in the long run, but it sure does make you admire him in some, "im really not givin fucks about you out here"-typa way.  Happily we hear some variation in his flow, which was a big criticism Olympus had for him early on.  "You guys slappin Macklemore tho? I dono you. I know Nacho." And thats how you know which Seattle you're from.  Nacho represents the perfect counterpart for the politically correct rap scene the world is pigeon holing Seattle in.  That world is there... Blue Scholars, Macklemore etc. held the torch for it.  But Nacho is intent on breaking every rule; Disrespecting your girlfriend, kicking out your car window & making you smile while he does. Give into your dark side? Nacho beckons.

DJ Nigga Fox - O Meu Estilo EP

As described by Lisbon record label, Principle Discos:
'O Meu Estilo' ('My Style') is Lisbon-based DJ Nigga Fox's record debut. Real name Rogério Brandão, Nigga Fox came to our knowledge a few months ago, and we were immediately floored by what we were hearing. Still in his early 20s, Rogério has already played in all sorts of the greater Lisbon clubs, while discreetly refining his own productions. On this 12" he presents parts of his unbelievably vast pallet. As the title implies, there's nothing quite like this, even in Lisbon's ever more productive and creative beat-based music. He's taken all sorts of lessons from local producers, as well as from the tracks coming in from Luanda, and has done his unnameable hybrid, informed by kuduro, afro-house, Angolan deep, tarraxinha, batida, and created some of the dopest, freshest music we've heard in years.
