Good news for all you hungry Cult members who missed out on the vinyl release of The Church Of, as today marks the release of the digital version, exclusive to Bandcamp. Featuring 15 COTD tracks, including features from Friends of the Cult - CLBRKS, Bang On! and Danny Lover - The Church Of promises to satisfy all your rap needs. Production on the album comes from a host of co-conspirators, including Lee Scott, Sniff, Jack Chard and Bisk. You can hit the Blah Bandcamp page now to secure your copy and you can also preview some of the goods for yourself below.

Yesterday saw the release of the brand new video from Bisk, as he gears us up for the arrival of his latest project. KUZEN is self-produced by the Swamp Harbour resident, giving us a dank taste of what the rest of SAMOSH!T has in store, as Bisk is at the helm for the duration. The video for KUZEN was made by Huw Caddy. More news on SAMOSH!T soon.

This was supposed to be a post to coerce you all into securing your pre-orders for the new Cult of the Damned vinyl drop that we recently announced, but in typical cult fashion, they sold out before I could even write this. For those of you lucky enough to grab one of the limited edition releases of The Church Of - available in hypnodisc and traditional black vinyl - you have a future classic in the stash. For the rest of you, you will have to await the digital release, whenever that might be. Stay tuned for more news on that though and in the meantime you can salivate over what you could have won below (shout out to Jim Bowen).

A little earlier than expected due to a minor technical issue, the new album from Lee Scott and Hyroglifics is now available over on Bandcamp. The full digital release will be rolled out within the next 72 hours, but for now head over to Bandcamp and make the most of the (unplanned) exclusive download.

For those of you who aren't aware, [gate clicks shut] is produced in its entirety by Hyroglifics and features guest appearances from Bigg Jus, King Grubb, Black Josh, VAIKE PD, CLBRKS and BeTheGun, plus backing vocals from Lyza Jane.

Signed copies of the LP are also available via Bandcamp, with unsigned editions available over at the shop, as well as the cassette version.

As you are no doubt all aware, the long-awaited Sniff solo album was given life last month. The album arguably features some of Sniff's strongest work to date, including this beast of a track. On Looney Tunes, Sniff is joined by Stinkin Slumrok, Jehst and Lee Scott, resulting in an avalanche of quotables from four of the UK's finest. Later Than Never is out now.

 



As we continue to quite rightfully build anticipation for the forthcoming solo album from Blah OG, Sly Moon, we thought it would be a good time to get him in the lab for a Blah Stylin sesh. The beat comes courtesy of the newly formed Sohio Players - aka Sly Moon and Salar - and Elz, with Honey JD on video duties. Why Am I So Sly? is out on 30 November and pre-orders are available now.

Next month, London's legendary venue, The Jazz Café, will open its doors for a couple of special performances by Lee Scott. The cult leader will be performing his 2018 album, Lou Reed 2000, alongside support slots from Sniff and Lyza Jane. Two performances in total - one matinee and one evening show - both taking place on 21 November. Tickets are available now, but they are limited due to distancing measures, so make sure you don't miss out. More info is available here.

Years ago, when the world was a simpler place and the threat of killer viruses was confined to Hollywood plot lines, Lee Scott and Morriarchi began working on an album that would come to shake up the world's major religions, further cementing Lee's place as some sort of messianic woolly back in the process. As with many historical artistic turning points, the album was delayed until a time when Lee and Morri felt that the world would need it most. That time is now and so we are pleased to present, Friend, Come to Me and be saved, in all its heavenly glory. Featuring the two mains players and a selection of worthy disciples - King Grubb, Milkavelli and Black Josh - the album is available to savour now (and save you now) on Spotify and Bandcamp, as well as physical manifestations which you can acquire via the shop. You can also stream the album in full below.
