  1. cheers, yeah it was a sample from the same Original Diary of a Madman was taken from, the 4 bars before the sample rza used.

    Must have been The Lemon Tree you were at, only time I've done that track live, the backing tracks were bad at that show, stepped in for the show a few days before so had to throw a mix together quick and never got a proper chance to sort out the EQ's. Not normally a gig i would go for along side bands but its was ok like would definatly preform along side bands again, good to hear what non-Hip hop listeners think you know, turn out was not good tho, no promotion at all.

    Cheers for all the feed so far appreciated

  2. W H A T !

    Where did you see me live ?

    None of the movie samples or music samples I use are from other rap artists, I have how ever sampled queen etc and samples from Movies, samples which no other artist has used and also as you've heard sampled phrases from classic rap song, as rappers have been doing for about 15 years.

    Also I NEVER rap, preform or record on other artists beats so this Gravediggaz tale is ehhhh

    I think you thinking of my pre-meditate beat, which uses a sample from the music from "10 Tigers from Kwantung" a kung Foo movie which Rza took the sample for his solo song "Enter the Wu-Tang" before the Wu-Tang group was made, then used the same sample for "Diary of a Madman" the Grave Diggaz track, I sampled the theme tune to the movie but a completly different 4/4 sample and put it in reverse with different drums and tempo to Rzas beat.

    Not meaning to sound a dick, but yeah thanks for that mate

  3. I never use other artists beats, I produce my own stuff but i have recently (in the last few months) landed a producer called Kamoto, and on this track, Kamoto produced the beat.

    I try to keep the songs sounding as scottsh as possible, no fake yank accents and no yank slag from me.

    Forgot to say but on that track the rapping order is : Ekizel (me), West and then Rhyminister.

    But thanks for the feedback, looking good so far !

  4. My Song was on Radio Magnetic today, but best part is it was for a show presented by Steg G and Freestyle Master "Best Scottish Hip Hop of 2004".

    It was the most requested song of the night, so thanks for the E-Mails sent requesting the song (if you did).

    The Song is called Reflections by EKIZEL (me, Aberdeen) featuring West (dundee) and Rhyminister(dundee *Brechin*) (production by from KAMOTO). Mixed, mastered and edited by myself.

    Give me your thoughts on the track

  5. Hi,

    I was wondering if any bands or even promoters on the site would be able to give me contacts to promoters or venues so I can get a monthly Hip Hop night going.

    What I am trying to get is not a hip hop night of DJs putting on records all night long but a fully live night with live preforming artists filling the night.

    We have 12 artists up for it so its a case of get a venue and if it gos well try and get it monthly or as often as we can.

    Like I say the artists are there so as soon as we have a venue it can go ahead.

    What I need is contacts of promoters or if you can give me prices for venues and the names of what venues you think would be up for it.

    Please let me know

    PM me, Reply to this or e-mail me at info@ekizel.co.uk

    thanks

  7. I agree with some parts, i.e there is allot more money in doing shows and gonig on the road BUT fans would NEVER pay studio time for their fav artists to record and they would NEVER help pay for equipment such as Digital desks, guitars, mixers etc also paying the producers and engineers. You can all say "I would !" but I bet if it came down to it you would NOT. Just my opinion on the matter, take it as you like
