Following on from the news that Jam Baxter had been working on a new album, last week saw its full release into the unsuspecting world. Fetch the Poison was crafted during a Mexican lockdown, in which Baxter found himself without the intoxicating ingredients that normally supplement his creative process. You wouldn't know it from the result though, with his pen game still verging into the deep and dark territories that have earned him his notoriety over the years. Production comes from the likes of Forest DLG, Jack Danz, Wundrop, Dr Zygote and Lenkemz, as well as features from his international cabal of likeminded lyricists. You can peruse the album below, then hit this link to satisfy all your other physical and digital needs.

Following on from the announcement that a new Jam Baxter album is looming, we're pleased to bring you another taster. Flickers On The Fourth Floor features long-term collaborator, DJ Sammy B-Side, on the cuts, as well as production from friend of the Cult, Jack Danz. The video was made by Spin City Media. Pre-orders for the album, Fetch the Poison, are available now. Also, Baxter is heading out on tour next month and you can find tickets for all the dates now via Super Mega Bookings.

We are pleased to kick off 2022 the right way, with news of the latest release from Jam Baxter. Following on from his official Blah debut last year, with the Sumgii-produced, Obscure Liqueurs, Baxter now returns with an album that sees him reuniting with the mighty Forest DLG - FKA Chemo - who was the twisted genius behind many of our protagonist's previous releases and who is at the helm for a lot of this latest venture.
Fetch the Poison was spawned in the midst of Baxter's Mexican lockdown experience, where he found himself on the side of sobriety after a state-wide alcohol ban, and decided to write an album. Don't let the lack of inebriation worry you though; all the hallmarks of his dark and dank writing style are still present and correct.
As well as Forest DLG's production contributions, there are also beats from Jack Danz, Wundrop, Dr Zygote and Lenkemz. This is all backed up by appearances from Nah Eeto, Black Josh, Jehst and Sammy B-Side, alongside features from Brazil’s NOG, Black Alien and Xamã.
The album is due for release at the end of February and is now available for pre-order on both vinyl and cassette, as well as pre-saves on your favourite digital streaming platforms. More information on all of that can be found here.

Don't call it a comeback. Jam Baxter and Forest DLG (FKA Chemo) reunite for this brand new track, Blood Red Cheese Wire. The video was made by Spin City Media. Keep an eye out for Baxter passing through your city next year as part of his UK tour. Tickets available now.

As the week draws to a close, we bring you the next serving of funk-laced dope from the forthcoming Lee Scott and Sly Moon album. Exobase is your second glimpse at what the full FDMB album will have in store, as the anticipation grows for the official release. Don't forget there are not one but TWO intimate launch parties going down too, with both Bristol and London showcasing the duo's new wares. More info on that can be found here. The video was made by Honey JD.

Following on from her introduction to the Blah family, we are proud to present the new video from Jaydonclover. Housenohome features further production from regular collaborator, dylantheinfamous, as well as an unsurprisingly tight feature from Cult favourite, Black Josh. The video was made by Jaydon and Milky. Housenohome is taken from happy, but still sad, which is available now on all streaming services.

Following on from the release of two tantalising singles, we are pleased to present the new Black Josh album in all its digital glory. Heartbreak Hostel features more on point raps from one of the UK's most consistent, and as always it is backed up by an assortment of beats from across the spectrum. The majority of the production comes courtesy of Hyroglifics, as well as contributions from Jack Chard and Rob Penny. The album is further buoyed by some equally strong features, with Kenzie TTH, Lancey Foux, Shie and Ian Leone all making appearances, as well as a turnout from COTD on Cult Sag Pt. 3. The album is available now on all digital platforms.

Two doses of good news for you right here, starting with the announcement that Lee Scott and Sly Moon have made an album together. Titled FDMB (Flipping Dough Making Bread), the album is the solid gold, funk-tinted odyssey that fans of the Blah OGs have been clamouring for for years.

The second piece of good news is that the album launch is a double-whammy, featuring two nights at venues in London and Bristol. In conjunction with our friends at Super Mega Bookings, we will be taking over Hackney Social on 24 November and then heading to Bristol to do the same at Basement 45 on 26 November.

Both shows are in intimate venues, with limited capacity so be quick on the tickets. Booking info for the Bristol show is available here and for the London show here.

Stay tuned for more news on FDMB coming soon.
