Toofless featuring Capone, Redbeard, SK, Sam Stealth, Kashae Rae and London's Lyracist Lounge

Check this bumper post of freshness on what could be the first (possibly) summer day of 2012 in Blighty. Unusually for Vocalswords we begin looking over to the definitely sunnier environs of the United Arab Emirates.....

Being a bit lazy today, but thought the press release info was worth posting up about Toofless and his new project, as listening to a couple of his tracks Im pretty impressed; so get to know about him here....

Toofless, Toofless & the Dub Poets Collective (DPC) release “Perspective” featuring Capone of Capone-N-Noreaga (CNN)

Meanwhile SK, RedBeard and Sam Stealth have been putting their Brummy twist to the state of life in 2012; an abandoned hospital is the setting for the dark vibes on display in  Bad Mannaz - Fresh!


London's Lyriacist Lounge - Elite Leagues cypher smippets are well worth a look; the quality of the emcees involved alongside the ringmaster LeeN of No Long Tings Productions




Big ups to the ever energetic and versatile Kasha Rae who hits us with "Anuva Rap Tune"; with some pertinent digs at the current music scene/industry....I wonder if those suits will take much notice at the moment unfortunately but for me its good to know I'm not the only one pulling faces.....
