We at Rapshack are huge fans of DJ Premier and are very much Nike heads, when we heard that the 2 were collaborating to bring a DJ Premier Air Force1, we had to investigate a little deeper.

Premier’s all-black-everything theme fits well with contrast stitching, clear soles with turntable accents, along with Premier’s name throughout the entire design, even on the lace tips. A release date beckons early 2010, via finer Nike boutiques.

Madhat - Ramblin EP FREE DOWNLOAD


23 year old Edinburgh born Madhat has been writing and producing music
for the past 9 years. He started writing raps and experimenting with
rhyming while at school.

Madhat was signed by Glasgow record label and began work on his first
solo LP. The album titled 'Unvarnished Scribbles' was released on 25th
Aug 2008. The album was a favourite within the Scottish hip hop scene,
and also with many other people who had before overlooked Scottish hip
hop. It even got a glowing report in the Scottish Daily Record where the
editor wrote "A massive landmark album for Scottish Rap".

However due to the album not being driven in the right direction and
marketed like it deserved the album never gained the exposure and
applause that it deserved. This left Madhat feeling that an album that
could have gone so much further than it did should be left to die away
and a fresh start should be made.

Now with Music Comes First Records, Madhat has now released 3 CDs with
MCF Records. These will gear you up for the main LP release which is due
out late 2010. This will be available in good record stores and online.

Please feel free to download and check out Madhat "The Ramblin EP" which
is Madhats latest promotional release. This EP hopes to show the
different sides of Madhat with tracks on the Ep ranging from Hard Hip
Hop to Commercially Pleasing Tracks.
