A bit about the album:
The album starts and ends with a drug and alcohol inspired panic attack. So what else happens? Let's see. Getting a smack in the face from his manager after having a tantrum about getting beaten at table-football. Check. Losing hundreds of thousands of pounds spread-betting. Check. Driving a Ferrari round Las Vegas without a license. Check. Watching the unnamed female pop star he'd been taking crack cocaine and having sex with the night before looking surprisingly presentable on CD-UK the next morning. Check.
Among many other things, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living is the story of how he got back on track. Using his special talent for combining beats and rhymes to make sense of what had happened to him, he poured everything he'd learnt into his music. In production terms, he's totally upped his game on this album. Everything is a little crisper and a little faster - honed and polished to be the perfect vehicle for his trademark forensic lyrical observations.
Featuring DJ sets by:
B. RAW (Sushi B2B Whoa-B) -- http://www.myspace.com/chicagogaragedon / http://www.myspace.com/whoabee
Both Sushi and Whoa-B have been pushing Grime music in its truest form in Chicago, while fusing their mixes with some hip-hop flavor for good measure. Though both known for their accomplishments as solo DJ's -- Sushi for his intense "G-Hop" sets across the country and Whoa-B for his steady stream of Grime, Garage, and Hip-Hop mix CDs -- their recognition as a tag team duo has grown over the past few years.
LORD 360 -- http://www.myspace.com/lord360
Making his first debut as a Grime MC at the Run The Road Volume 2 Pre-Release event at Lava in February, Lord 360 made believers out of those who ever questioned the ability for a US Hip-Hop MC to transition well to Grime. Once again, we bring out 360 to control the mic for the night.
DJ AUTOBOT of Flosstradamus -- http://www.myspace.com/djautobot
Most recently featured as 1/2 of Flosstradamus in URB's Next 100, Autobot and Flosstradamus have created a huge buzz in Chicago's Underground music scene through their unique slew of remixes and refixes.
NOGUNRI -- http://www.myspace.com/nogunri
Nogunri has been pushing the sounds of UK Grime and Dubstep as promoter and resident DJ of the GRIME!!! night at Lava.
