Grabbed this the other day, and even though I rather mixed compilations, it's worth a listen, especially if you haven't heard the likes of 'Carla' by Ramadanman, Skream & Cluekid's 'Sandsnake', Pinch's mighty 'Qawwali', or any of Martyn or TRG's stuff. Each to their own n' all that old bollox, but the Caspa tracks are the equivalent of a donkey farting in to a barrel, in my opinion, but whatever man (some 320s in there too for you digital selectors).................

Bought this last week from the good folks in Plugd Records, as I've always thought Friction was pretty decent..........not totally sold on this one so far; there's a few too many 'jump-up' type tracks for my liking and a vocal number which reminds me of something Tiesto might play, but on the other hand there's some quality on it aswell - maybe it'll grow on me with further listens.

Wicked Reggae mix from Adam Prescott (For The Win Records).......one of the best Reggae selections I've heard in ages, and definitely one of my favourites mixes of '09 so far.......do not sleep on this beauty!!
Ey Up everyone! This originally started as a little project from my mate Nick who wanted some good reggae so I started compiling some of my favourite tunes which hopefully covers all bases of the sound. We’ve got some dub, some roots, some rasta, some lover’s rock, some political tunes, some Dj tunes, some early dancehall, some one drop and some upfront militant dubwise riddims! Some tunes you might know, some you won’t but defiantly worth the download! - Adam Prescott

Former Wales, Arsenal and Celtic striker John Hartson is in a critical condition after emergency surgery on his brain following a cancer diagnosis.
At the weekend, 34-year-old Hartson was told he had testicular cancer.
The disease spread to his brain and on Wednesday, doctors confirmed it was also present in his lungs.
The father-of-three had undergone surgery at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, after being transferred from the city's Singleton Hospital.
A hospital statement read: "He is currently being cared for by the critical care team at Morriston and is receiving round-the-clock care aiming to stabilise his condition.
“ We have been overwhelmed by the support and goodwill from many thousands of football fans, players, clubs and sporting figures and we have drawn strength from this support ” John Hartson's family
"He will resume radiotherapy and chemotherapy as soon as possible."
After being diagnosed with cancer on Sunday, Hartson was admitted to Singleton Hospital where further tests were carried out.
Since retiring from a glittering career in football in February 2008, the striker has worked as a television pundit.
Relatives issued a statement on Wednesday saying that all close family and friends "are continuing to support John in any way we can".
"He is receiving outstanding care from all the medical and surgical staff and we would like to thank everyone at both Singleton and Morriston, as well as the excellent ambulance staff," it went on.
"We have been overwhelmed by the support and goodwill from many thousands of football fans, players, clubs and sporting figures and we have drawn strength from this support."
The family also requested that the star's privacy, and that of his family, is respected as he continues his hospital treatment.
Officials at Arsenal have said the club is "deeply saddened" by news of his cancer.
The former centre forward joined Arsenal as a teenager from Luton in January 1995 and, in two seasons at Highbury, made 62 appearances, scoring 16 goals.
The player left Arsenal for West Ham United in February 1997 and continued his career with the Hammers, Wimbledon, Coventry City, Celtic, West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City.
"Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to take this opportunity to wish John, together with his family and friends, all the very best in the challenging times that lie ahead. Our thoughts are with you," the statement added.
During his international career, he scored 14 goals before stepping down in February 2006 to concentrate on his club football.
Hartson made his Wales debut in March 1995 in an away match against Bulgaria, often leading the line as a lone striker, until his last game in November 2005 against Cyprus.
Very sad to hear this about Big John. Not only was he a great player for Celtic, but he also seems like a very nice guy. Hopefully things will go his way and he can come out the other side of this. Good luck from the Crank, John; if anyone has the strength to beat this, then it's you.
I featured this video in the blog last month, but have to bring it to the fore again, as it's gonna be feautured in an episode of CSI on Network 2 tonight........Irish hip-hop ripping things up on a Yank prime-time show.........not bad, ha?? Big up to Ri-Ra......hopefully this will get him some much-deseved credit and lead to further album sales. Keep it goin' Sir!
Yes, yes.....welcome n' ting......I'm the Crank and this is where I vent my vexedness....it's a place for free music, reviews, street art, videos, books, talking about nonsense, and whatever other bullshit comes to mind......stay locked.....
