Incisive Interview

In the 90s emcees such as Roots Manuva and Blak Twang helped to establish worldwide credibility of Hip-Hop coming out of the UK. Whilst delivering clever lyricism and stories coming from an English perspective, the next generation of British rappers completely and unapologetically kicked open the door, playing by their own rules. This lot of lyricists included acts such as Ms. Dynamite, Sway DaSafo, J2K and of course Incisive. Hailing from West London, Incisive has been on a steady mission of bringing forth the best Hip-Hop music possible, proving more than equal to his respective counterparts across the Atlantic.

Listen to Alphamama’s Fiery ‘Ass In The Front’

What happens when you have a female emcee whose sex appeal is just as strong, if not stronger than any of the leading acts in Hip-Hop, r&b and pop, yet actually has a rebel spirit that completely contrasts 90% of what's out in the market? You get Australia's Alphamama, who has recently shared her new track 'Ass In The Front', which is taken from her forthcoming EP 'Honey Fire'. Based on the title, one could be easily tricked into thinking this a typical song about well, big butts. However, Alphamama drops a counter attack on stereotypes of how femininity is currently viewed in this day and age. Produced by Ahmed Sirour, the song is a hype dose of Hip-Hop packed with energy and skilled lyricism.
