Big Ribzy – Capetown (Prod. by @Rediculus) #Single @BigRibzy @PlatformzMusic @OkThoMag @ParkStreetPR

Platformz Music continues to push and release quality independent Hip-Hop music and is proud to unleash the first of their UK signings Big Ribzy. The Midland’s based rapper has been making waves out on the UK playing live up and down the country sharing stages with well known artists such as Phili N Dotz, Genesis Elijah, Malik MD7 and many more, as well as playing at this year’s Boom Bap Festival, the UK’s only 100% Hip-Hop festival where Your Old Droog, Earl Sweatshirt & Jeru The Damaja headline. With the release of his mixtape ‘King Size Blues’ hosted by Tricksta from UK Runnings he made noise on the underground, which was followed an underground album ‘Blunts & Insecurities’ produced by fellow Midlands based artists Lost Alliance. These releases have solidified Big Ribzy in the UK scene with a string of superb reviews from leading blogs & e-zines, as well as support from tastemakers & DJ’s.

Big Ribzy now unleashes ‘Capetown’, his debut single for Chicago based Platformz Records, which is produced by Rediculus, a well known name on the underground circuit who has worked with the likes of Shabaam Sahdeeq, Ruste Juxx, Chubb Rock, Brownbag Allstars, Sadat X and more, as well as being an artist in his own right. The single is a taste of what’s to come from the forthcoming EP ‘No Games’, which is produced entirely by Rediculus and features a collection of nine solo songs from Big Ribzy. With videos and more singles to drop before the release, this EP is destined to make noise on both sides of the pond. This is authentic Hip-Hop, lyrics, wordplay, metaphors and beats that slap you with that Boom Bap flavour. Welcome to the sound of Big Ribzy… something original and something that deserves your attention.

Rediculus ‘Kalahnikovs and Kush’ #Video @Rediculus @ShabaamSahdeeq @elgant @FamosoHTR @therealbekay @ParkStreetPR

With a title like “Kalahnikovs and Kush,” it’s hard to imagine that the Chi-town beatsmith, Rediculus wouldn’t bring the heat. Instead of trying to make a tribute to the godfathers of the 90’s, the upcoming producer crafts a track that takes elements of that ol’ Boom bap for the modern day Hip-Hop head. Pulling together the lyrical tactics of Shabaam Sahdeeq, El Gant, Famoso and Bekay (who manages to shave his head while dropping some ODB-esque rhymes), the track is fertile grounds for hot 16s. “Kalashnikov & Kush” is the first single from Rediculus’ forthcoming producer compilation, ‘In Response: Dee-Fi,’ so expect more fire in the weeks to come.

‘In Response: Dee-Fi’ consists of 15 speaker breakers all produced by Rediculus, showcasing his musical growth that he’s achieved as a result of taking a one year hiatus from his previous non-stop production schedule. When asked what fueled his creative process for the album, Rediculus states: “After my Mama passed in 2013, I really sat down and refocused what it was that I was pursuing musically and what I wanted to leave for others to judge me by after I was gone. I had always embraced the 90’s aesthetic of Boom bap, but really wanted to put my own presentation of that forward, instead of trying to relive years past with my sound, so I started layering more original instrumentation over my samples, started writing more lyrics and getting way deeper into the creative process this time. There was a lot of talk about white people and gay people in Hip-Hop as this project was being created. Where we fit in, where we belong. This is my statement of defiance to dare anyone to challenge my position in this culture, and exactly where the title of this album comes from.”

The album itself features three tracks completely written by Rediculus — “Stay” and “Again,” and two RnB ballads; one featuring industry veteran Jay Hollins, and “Repercussions” which features the upcoming emcee, Jus Daze. Rounding out the collaborative effort is Rediculus’s long time lyrical partner Rich Malone, new comer Fresco, frequent collaborators J57 and Sene, East Coast spitters in Coast, CoalCash and C-Rayz Walz, Comet, Boston up-and-comer Token, and LA wordsmith Aarophat. Keep an eye out for Rediculus and his forthcoming ‘In Response: Dee-Fi’ LP, which is set to be accompanied by five videos and seven singles.
