Finally back with another DJ Sneaks and hopefully a selection of superb mix tapes later in the week.
This DJ Sneaks edition we're bringing in the Hip Hop. Fresh from the Camberwell streets......well maybe a comfy bench in the Camberwell Tiger (South London's finest boozer for those that don't know).
Too Many T's step up this time round with a mix spliced together by their occasional collaborator and DJ on hand Mr Biscuits. But first a little bit about the boys themselves.
Too Many T's.... aka Ross Standaloft and Leon Rhymes are two lovable cheek mongers of an Emcee duo. After forming in the summer of 2011, Too Many T's have been gaining attention from all directions with their tight but tongue in cheek take on rap all laid down over real sounding funk and Sesame street soul influenced hip hop beats. Check out the below video for their track "Medina life" to get an example of this if my use of descriptives above has left you a little lost. The video recorded in on the streets of Marrakesh last Spring and released in December it definitely gives you an idea of what the boys are about.
The Kicks.
Was pretty hyped to get Too Many T's to step up for the kicks mix as i know Leon Rhymes is a bit of a trainer addict as well. Up Towns all the way with Leon selecting a pretty different pair of Nike Air Force 1s for show and tell. Here's his bit about them.....
"Trekking around New York's Lower East side looking for some fresh kicks at the end of 2011 I stumbles across these fresh AF1s in a vintage store - unworn but without the box - in perfect size and had to have em. Love the double set of red and pink laces and the splatter mid soles to give it that extra pop. Now i know they were release in 2008 and it turns out they're Supremes - and women's - but I'm now in touch with my feminine side, and anyway, they look fresh as fook"
The Mix -
A corker of a mix laid down from a selection of Too Many T's influential jams. Mr Biscuit brings the skills in big time as well, with every track cut, rubbed and mixed too a T....
Featuring classic Eric B and Rakim right through to classic UK beauts by artists including Jehst and Foreign Beggars. Most definitely one for the download. Check it on the Soundcloud player below also featuring the DL link.
