News: Lee Scott

Fresh visual from the ever enticing Nah Eeto, as she continues to bless us with gold from her recent project. Mbona sees Eeto joining forces with fellow Kenyan artists, Thayu Mwas and Asum Garvey as the trio deliver their vocals over a nice beat from Lee Scott. The track is lifted from her recent 53 EP, which is available now via Blah Records.

The day you've been patiently waiting for has finally arrived and now you get to experience the majesty of Bill Shakes's new album in all its Blackburnian glory. Featuring appearances from fellow Blah OGs King Grubb and Sly Moon, as well as friend of the cult, Jam Baxter, plus full production from Lee Scott and Jack Chard, Eh? is dripping with all the vibes that have established Shakes as one of COTD's most respected voices. The album is available now from all the usual digital platforms and you can stream it in full below.

You have probably heard the rumours by now. The pioneering swegged out band of brothers known as Cult Mountain have split up. But before you shed a thug tear, news is surfacing of a reunion show next month. The show promises to deliver not only the CM boys themselves - Lee Scott, Milkavelli, Trellion & Sumgii - but also a stack of new music, merch and mayhem (as is the MO for any Blah related event). Tickets are available right now, but be quick cos these things have a habit of selling out pretty sharpish. The gig takes place on 5 September and you can find more details here.

Following on from the announcement last month that the fabled album from Lee Scott and Jam Baxter is due to be released into the world in September, we have now unveiled the precious link that will secure you a piece of this weird and wonderful rap odyssey. The simply titled Happy Hour At The Super Fun Time Party Dome Megamix 4000 is being released in all the usual formats, as well as an ultra nostalgic MiniDisc version. Unfortunately they were so super limited that the entire run has already been pre-ordered. Fear not though as the vinyl edition is still available, the pre-order for which you can find over at the store, but again it is limited so be quick if you want in. It comes in heavyweight colour vinyl and also includes some  free stickers and beer mats. The official release date is 13 September and shipping will commence a week before.

Fresh off the reels comes the brand new video from Bill Shakes, as he prepares us all for the arrival of his debut solo LP next month. Tugay Kerimoğlu is named after the famous Blackburn Rovers midfielder, giving you a clue as to how much of a devoted Blackburnian the COTD OG really is. The track is produced by Lee Scott and Jack Chard. Eh? is due for digital release on 23 August.

For a while now, rumours of a collaboration between Lee Scott and Jam Baxter have been rife, but any further details have been scarce and even the two artists themselves seemed hesitant to speak out. Today though the first piece of the puzzle was put in place, in the form of a new video purportedly connected to the mysterious project. FML. (After Hours Mix) sees the two MCs trading verses and booze in a dusty Spanish bar, peppered with scenes of them drunkenly exploring the nearby coastline. The blissed out, slightly woozy production comes courtesy of Lee Scott and the video was made by This & That Media. The release date for the album, Happy Hour at The Super Fun Time Party Dome Megamix 4000, is scheduled for 13 September.

The debut solo LP from Lyza Jane was finally given life on Friday and it has definitely been worth the wait. You've already heard the Lee Scott produced joint, Indigo, which is one of two production credits he's got on the album, along with Sniff and Lyza herself. There are also some typically sweg features from Lee, Black Josh and Danny Lover. Housebound is available to stream in full below.

Fresh visuals from the Blah camp, as Nah Eeto returns with a new video for Mafu. The track is produced by Lee Scott and the video was shot in Kenya by Kevin Wang'Ombe aka @therawwfilmmaker.
