Its only been up for a week, but already featured on UK super-producer Sparkii Skis Soundcloud page are random beats, demos, instrumentals of old MC Mello b-sides, and with even just one verse, what seems like a previously unreleased MC Mello track…
Sparkii Ski Feat MC Mello – Musty Aint Avin It
MC Mello – Talk Dem [Instrumental]
He has a co-produced alblum on the way with a group I know very little about too…

From as early as 1987 when the name Sparkie was listed on a Jus Badd release, then soon after on the Comin Correct EP and Blades Lyrical Maniac 12″s, I was always aware of the name Sparkii Ski. Im not gonna spout to knowin too much about Sparkii other than his beat-making ability, he’s part of the En4cers crew with Billy Biznizz and the rest, and he’s produced more MC Mello cuts than I care to recall. Seems he’s been plodding away at a few beats and has some ‘Heritage’ release due in 2012. Keep em peeled…

The big do-uble kicks a tale of a party we’d all like to be invited to..at the Playboy mansion..
“The Chuurch is down, call the ambalance..”
oh, man.
As much as i like someone being called Swamp Donkey, and as much as i like Mickey Piretta, this is ALL about the video…the third guy is semi-nice,though, to my ears.
Canadians doing Hip-Hop??whatever next?..
The Video gets E for effort, and T for nice try…
If that’s a word you can use about Gangsta Rap in the modern era, because for all the “freedom of speech” arguments of the past, it’s HARD to talk about it in a positive light nowadays.
But Fuck it, you have to..when it’s as dope as this.
Madlib loads some fire literally into the hole, and Freddy comes with it, in Gory Tek-nicolour..

2Pac and Mc Ren would be very proud of Freddie Gibbs, as would Zro, for keeping this tradition of music alive in the skinny jeans era.respect to Freddie for showing us what the streets of Gary, Indiana look like forty years after the Jacksons made it famous. it ain’t pretty, but “nothing is as pretty as a pair of tiddies”- Drexl Spivey

“i’m revenge in the form of success to all haters“
For me, a strong centender for the best l.p of last year was “the marathon continues”, and this was the first song i heard off of it..now getting a very nice visual inspired by Nipsey’s trip to the far east, shouts dantheman.There’s multiple gems dropped in this song, all over some art of noise-inspired greatness. And those drums are hard as fuck.
“in the material world, the thought is contagious..”, that, is some rakim-type shit right there.
