I’m back (and I’m on time for once!)

This week almost writes itself … enjoy

First up is a track from the Granddaddies of conscious hip-hop, De La Soul. Get Away  (feat. the Spirit of the Wu)  is a rant, or at least as much a one as you will ever get from the pioneers of the Daisy Age, against the corporate, soulless, image obsessed parody of itself that commercial hip-hop has become.

Seriously loving this, both the tune and message. Why can’t it all be like this

It wouldn’t be a Three on a Thursday without something to shake your rump to, and this week it comes courtesy of Krafty Kuts.

Proving that every cloud has a silver lining, after breaking his leg on the slopes at Snowbombing a couple of weeks back, he’s just dropped a reboot of The Party Squad’s Lighterman which he made whilst holed up recovering.

Cue a dancefloor busting, beat breaking. skanking monster of a track – the boy is back to his best!.

Last up this week is a wicked little Rufus Thomas number ths been thoroughly Ghetto-fied by one of the most reliable producers in the genre, Slynk. So reliable in fact, that this is the second week on the bounce that I’ve featured his tunes …

Just listening to his Fried Chicken Remix makes me hungry

Obsessive music nerd for since his formative years, Sherlock Ohms finally pulled his finger out and started inflicting his collection of Funk, Soul, Hip-hop, Reggae, Breaks, Beats and random ephemera on the unwitting public in mid-2008. Since then he's graced the airwaves of Big Chill FM and Purple Radio, the stages of the Festinho festival, and the DJ booths of the UK fluffing for the likes of DJ Moneyshot, Boca 45 and Ugly Duckling. Whether it's early morning chilled wig outs, or eclectic party starting beat fests there's a reason they call him 'No Shit Sherlock' View all posts by djsherlockohms
