London-based hip-hop artist, podcaster, DJ, and loquacious individual, RebelACA is a charismatic force to be reckoned with. His latest collaboration, thesingle “Mygraine” with dancehall powerhouse Spragga Benz and UK iconRodney P., is not to be missed.Rebel ACA's music can be found at the intersection of old school and new.Versatile yet distinctly personal, his sound is characterized by liveinstrumentation and a funk influence. His latest single explores the pain of dailymigraines mixed with the double-entendre by Spragga Benz and Rodney Pl. of“my grain of weed,” all set to vintage 80s French-influence vibes.The single comes in two versions: the original “Old Cool Funk” hip-hop versionand the drum and bass mix by DJ Phantasy. “The hip-hop version is funky, inyour face,” tells the artist. “Meanwhile, the drummer base has old-school, funkyhip-hop vibes; it's eclectic.” A music video, directed by Big Ben Bro, is also partof the multi-dimensional package.Rebel ACA's professional endeavors range from a white-collar day job tomoonlighting as a rapper, producer, and podcaster. His resume boastscollaborations with artists including Spragga Benz, Rodney P., Harry Shotta, DocBrown, Murat and Jose, and Illaman. And did we mention Buttercut Records? Heowns that, too.The single, “Mygraine,” comes from Buttercuts Records, the company RebelACA began in 2000. Featuring artists across various genres from hip hop toreggae, funk, and soul, Buttercut Records is home to many memorable hits,including Spragga Benz's “Chiliagon,” a #1 reggae billboard hit in 2019.Four or five years after starting Buttercut Records, Rebel ACA turned to writingmusic of his own accord. “I always wrote poetry to cope with bad bullying inschool and an eating disorder. When you're on your own, all you have is a padand a pen. There's comfort in that. I was having a tough time when I was youngand realized there's this honesty with a pad and pen—the brutality of you sittingin front of a pad and pen.”Rebel ACA realized that carrying around his decks to DJ was understandablyless convenient than sporting a pad of paper and writing utensil. And, so, itbegan—he slowly turned to writing rap. “By 2006, I found that the best release Icould find was rapping, writing stuff down, and rapping it out.” He shifted hisfocus from working solely with other artists—many of whom were different towork with due to their elevated narcissism—and began creating for himself.He connected with Spragga Benz, a friend of his late sister, and put his albumtogether. “That project got me into the studio with all of my biggest idols in Britishhip hop/rap. It was a terrifying experience having to rap with my idols. They did itin one take while I took 20.”Speaking of his idols—and collaborators—Rodney P. and Spragga Benz are twomajor musical forces of their time. “Rodney P. is an enormous figure in hip hopand an amazing rapper. Americans invented hip hop. It took decades to sound okrapping with a British accent, and Rodney was part of that. It took time for Britainto find its sound in the shadow of America. And Spragga Benz is one of the greatdancehall MCs. They are huge people in their space—full on legends.”It was also around this time that Rebel ACA realized he needed to stop being just“the business guy” and start being the confident artists that he had the potentialto be. “My wife at the time said, ‘a lot of your issue is a confidence thing.' Sothat's what I'm trying to work on—not doing everyone else's **** and being thebusiness guy.”“I partly wrote the song with friends. Historically, I get migraines, so I thought I'ddo a song about them. I'm generally trying not to rap about sex or violence. It hasbecome popular in England—everyone rapping about American or Jamaicanconcepts—but it's not very British. Rarely do we do violence outside punchingeach other in the face in a pub crawl. And we're repressed about sex,” teasesRebel ACA. “It's interesting that it's one-dimensional, really. We're bothered tolisten to what a 19-year-old artist thinks, yet they don't understand a lot about lifeyet. Then I remember that the people listening to them are also 12 or 14. I comefrom a place where I want rappers to talk about something more.”These days, Rebel ACA is collaborating with crew, the ADHGs, tacklingimportant issues through hip hop. “There are so many things to be discussed,”adds the artist. “I asked ChatGPT what important issues are not being talkedabout in hip hop and it said ‘mental health issues.' So, I wanted to create asimple dialogue around these issues. And migraines are a mind issue. They'reawful and a terrible infliction. All people need to do is work out their triggers.Anyone who has one has to diary what they did the day before and will find it'smanageable.”On the topic of mental health, Rebel ACA is quick to point out that “music istherapy.” “It's strange that people give up music. Many see it as they have tomake it big or they have to stop,” adds the artist. “If you're a runner, you're stillgoing to run around the park to keep fit, even if you're not as fast as Usain Bolt.Yet people don't think that way about music. If they're not the most popular orreach fame, they give up. You must love music to be involved. And there'snothing like it—it's magic. No one needs to listen to what you create but you.”Make sure to stay connected to Rebel ACA on all platforms for new music,videos, and social posts.Website: www.buttercuts.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebel_aca/https://www.Instagram.com/therealadhgsAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/artists/B01IUCK482/rebel-acaApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/rebel-aca/1086797152Bandcamp: https://rebelaca.bandcamp.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ze2Yu0NUzfbXo6OqnOW22YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ButtercutsRecords

On our latest episode we catch up with UK Hip Hop legend Blade.Hailing from Iran, Blade moved to New Cross, London at the tender age of 7. During his formative years in the capital he would discover Hip Hop and become one with the definition of the word hustler. Boasting the innate hypothetical ability to hustle from one end of one high road to the other while simultaneously ignoring back to back naked females...until all wax was shifted.Blade has been prolific since his first release in 1988. A year later he dropped his standout banger "Lyrical Maniac". Which fused together timeless raw lyricism and dope production becoming a benchmark of UK Hip Hop at that time. After setting the bar, Blade would go on to drop singles in the early 90s like “Mind of an Ordinary Citizen” and “Rough it Up”. Along with three LPs, the most notably “The Lion Goes from Strength to Strength”. Then came “The Unknown” with the late great Mark B. The album is an absolute classic marrying old school and new succinctly into one body of work while Blade tirelessly fights the music industry in order to come out on top. Utilising such legends as Rodney P, Skinnyman and Chester P to pepper Mark Bs production with the flavour of what was to come in UK Hip Hop.Nowadays, Blade has put the mic on the back burner (but not necessarily the pen) to champion his media channel @0521official. The ethos of the channel is to work together and build a scene through positive relationships in order to showcase good music without ego (in our humble opinion).05:21 is going from strength to strength, interviewing legends such as Chester P, Mercury from Gunshot, Jonzi D, with live performances from Prospects, Joker Starr, Gee Bag and many more to come.UK Hip Hop needs people like Blade, UK Hip Hop needs MORE people like Blade. For knowledge, humour and most importantly, unity.Subscribe to 05:21: https://youtube.com/c/0521OfficialFollow Blade on Instagram: @blade691_ukFollow 05:21 on Instagram:  @0521official

This week on The Get Down Beats chats with the Godfather of U.K Hip Hop, Rodney P. Rodney has pioneered a definitive sound and carved a pathway for many upcoming artists in the U.K for over three decades, all the while being true and honest to himself and his music. His career has allowed him to navigate through a variety  of story telling mediums. From rap to radio, right through to television and documentary making, Rodney has conquered all.

Omar is one of the founding members of British Soul Music. Omar Lyefook MBE is without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years. If anyone has doubts about that, then they might want to consider the list of legendary artists who happily line up to collaborate with him musically, or simply sing his praises – from Stevie Wonder, the late Leon Ware, Erykah Badu, Common, through to Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, and Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler, Angie Stone and U.K. artists Courtney Pine, Rodney P, Kele LeRoc, Natasha Watts and Estelle, all appreciate his truly original and unique voice, musicianship and songwriting talent.The musical history of British soul pioneer Omar is renowned – the Lyefook family has musical talent embedded deep in their DNA, Omars’ father Byron worked as a studio musician and drummer with Bob Marley, Horace Andy and even The Rolling Stones. Omars’ younger brother, the Grammy winning producer, remixer and DJ professionally known as Scratch Professer has been making jaws drop since the age of 13, stunning the crowd at the 1988 DMC UK Finals with his turntable skills. Samia Lye-Fook (Omar’s sister) is a renowned vocalist in her own right, and a BRIT School alumna, then there’s their big brother….Omar.Born October 14, 1968, in London but raised in Canterbury, gifted, prolific and considered a musical prodigy; Omar learned his craft classically, playing the trumpet, piano, bass guitar and percussion. A former principal percussionist of the Kent Youth Orchestra and later a graduate of the Guildhall School Of Music, Omar has been making music for more than 32 years.Back in 1985 he released his first single ‘Mr Postman’ on his father Bryons’ Kongo label, which was also the original home for his first album, which contained the track that changed everything… ‘There’s Nothing Like This’

Miss Lou and Mr Drew take time to pass judgement on a series of British rappers making the headlines for the all the wrong reasons. Rodney P, Dutchavelli, Not3s, Tion Wayne and Headie One all come under the moral microscope.Plus, the Grammy nominations are out and the R&B and rap nominations are confusing us more than ever!Twitter: @MistaDrew or @MissLouIntro music credit: 'Truckee' by Otis McDonald Follow Mr Drew’s DJ streams: twitch.tv/djmrdrewuk

Dr. Rodney Bensley works in Murfreesboro, Tennessee as a vascular surgeon. He tells us recently the Lord put it on his hear to start talking to patients about their faith when it was appropriate. He tells us he has led one of his patients to Christ days before he passed away. Thank God for doctors like Dr. Bensley. Please keep him and his team in your prayers in this season of COVID-19.Dr. Bensley says he and his family are leaning on Psalm 91 a lot in this season and they especially love, Psalm 91:7 which says -- "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." He says he is praying this scripture over his family and believing God will take care of his family.Thank you, Dr. Bensley, for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!

A special DJ Mix this week called 'Hip Hop Songs About The Police & Protest'. With the recent murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests the show has Hip Hop tunes that have been danced to and enjoyed and educated people across the world. With music from the 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, 10’s and 20’s ….five decades, where ultimately the story has not changed but the Hip Hop protest energy has had to continue. Black Lives Matter has brought the story to the mainstream and as this happens we are all hoping a re-set happens soon. Music from Public Enemy, Main Source, Jay Dee, KRS One, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Rodney P, Life (with a track about Stephen Lawrence), Big L, Quasimoto and more. Turn up loud and listen to the stories and boundary pushing songs.

MC veteran Rodney P reminisces on sound systems highlighting the continuity between traditional sound systems into what would eventually become new emerging genres from UK hip-hop to jungle.  

A quality tune from Nayana Iz. Brand new music from Space Captain on Tru Thoughts. Hip Hop from Bishop Nehru feat. MF Doom and Rodney P. A track from the album on Blue Note by Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes. Good dancefloor Beats from Nuff Pedals feat. Maddslinky and Felipe Gordon. Country Soul from Blaze Foley. Drum & Bass from G Force, Roni Size and Sky Joose. A track from the Stretch & Bobbito album. Plus plenty more musical treats.

This week’s show is a tribute to Ty (Rest In Peace) who sadly passed away recently. It has been broadcast early in addition to its regular Sunday slot.

Some of Ty’s earlier releases with Shortee Blitz and The London All Stars. Recent music from the KINGDEM project alongside Rodney P and Blak Twang. A great remix of Lizz Fields Ty did with his co-producer Drew (soulful Broken Beats). Ty’s feature collaborations with Dego, The Bamboos and Terri Walker and more. A quality tribute to Ty from Durrty Goodz. A few tunes from the Kick Snare and an Idea EP series we were so pleased to release on Tru Thoughts. Gamechanger tracks like Wait A Minute and Groovement. Plus plenty more musical goodness

Music Life this week sees British jazz saxophonist, MC, and poet Soweto Kinch host Shingai Shoniwa, Eno Williams, and Barney Artist. Singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa is formerly of the band The Noisettes. The name Shingai, according to Wikipedia, means "bold/courageous/strong" in the Shona language. Eno Williams is the lead vocalist in the electronic funk band Ibibio Sound Machine. She was born in London but spent most of her childhood in Nigeria where her family spoke Ibibio, the native language of the Ibibio people in Akwa Ibom Staten. And our final guest is Barney Artist, a London rapper, who’s worked with George The Poet, Tom Misch, and Jordan Rakai. Soweto is a Mercury prize nominated / MOBO winning artist who’s been championed by Mos Def and Rodney P and has supported the likes of KRS ONE, Dwele, and TY. He’s also the nicest guy in music. Together they explore themes in music that revolve around family and its influence, the idea of homecoming and identity, and the importance of language.
