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.

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.

Another fresh serving of dope from Black Josh, as we continue to pave the way for the release of his new album. Get Meh is co-produced by Hyroglifics and Rob Penny, while the video was filmed by Ellisdawg and is further strengthened by some gritty VFX from Siim Parisoo. The track is lifted from the forthcoming LP, Heartbreak Hostel, which is due for digital release on 29 October.

A triumphant return from Black Josh, as he unveils his latest single, The Birds. The video received the premiere treatment last week from Mixtape Madness, as the Manchester favourite paves the way for the release of his new album, Heartbreak Hostel. The Birds is co-produced by Jack Chard and Hyroglifics. Stay tuned for more news on the album, which is due for digital release on 29 October.

Milkavelli emerged from the shadows this week with a brand new video, featuring the sort of collaborations that many of us will only have dreamt about. Run It sees Milk teaming up with not only his longtime friend and collaborator, Lee Scott, but also extending his reach across the Atlantic, with a guest spot from Playboi Carti. The track is produced by OMELET and the video was made by aboveground.

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.

Four years after the release of his last solo album, we are pleased to present the brand new single from Stinkin Slumrok. YEYEAYEA is the first taste of his forthcoming album, Stink-O-Vision, which is due for release in the not too distant future.
The album will feature full production from Lee Scott and Jack Chard, who have cooked up a batch of funk-drenched beats, as this latest track demonstrates. The video was made by Honey JD, with animation from Slim Parisoo. More news on the album coming 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).
