Horrorshow drop a video to their new single Thoughtchrime (Doin’ My Think).  Thoughtchrime (Doin’ My Think) is available for free over on Horrorshow’s website now and their 2nd album Inside Story is due October 3rd on Elefant Traks. Don’t sleep on these guys because as far as i’m concerned in the “up n coming” younger oz hip hop generation, it doesn’t get any better than Horrorshow.

The track Highs & Lows is off the Thundamentals’ self titled EP that dropped last in 2008. You can follow through to facebook to catch a high quality version of the video and also don’t forget to head to iTunes and pickup the Thundamentals’ EP.

Lazy Grey’s track Stop ‘N’ Think is a classic Australian Hip Hop track of Lazy’s album Banned In Queensland, thanks to Bias B it’s recently received a belated video which you can catch below.

Spitshine, the third album from Urthboy is touted as being “an audacious record packed with punch and finesse” and if the MySpace preview is anything to go by, theres a real element of truth to that statement.  Due out August 28th, Spitshine features guest spots from Lior, Jane Tyrrell (from The Herd), Solo (from Horrorshow), Nay (The Last Kinection), Mantra (Illzilla), Mark Pearl (featured on other Urthboy tracks) and Nat Dunn.  Grab spitshine from iTunes Now!

Urthboy will be touring to all major capital cities and some larger country towns (guess no one loves hip hop in Darwin?) from 24th September through to November 14th.  Touring with recent Elefant Traks signing Horrorshow, Melbourne’s electro influenced Polo Club, Elgusto from Hermitude and The Herd‘s Jane Tyrrell the Urthboy live show is billed as being an energetic and theatrical performance and if previous shows from Elefant Trak’s artists are anything to go by, it wont dissapoint.

Will this be the last release from a Certified Wise artist on Obese Records or via Obese Distribution? only time will tell i suppose, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and say yes, feel free to proove to me or tell me I’m wrong.  The new album from Adelaide’s Cross Bred Mongrels titled Certified Wise has been produced by DJ Debris who actually used to be a fully fledged Cross Bred Mongrel prior to joining the Hilltop Hoods.  The album looks be another defining point in what i would consider to be the rawer side of the Certified Wise crew and i guess could explain why the credits for State of The Art never mentioned Cross Bred Productions/Studios.

The lead single off the new album from Adelaide’s Cross Bred Mongrels, titled “Party’s Never Over”.  Keep your ears to the ground for the new album from the Cross Bred Mongrels which is called Certified Wise and is due out September 4th on Obese Records.

Urthboy has put his new album Spitshine on MySpace for all to hear and preview prior to it’s release next Friday (28th August) on Elefant Traks.  It’s just another smooth and simple marketing move from a man that seems to understand the way music marketing works in the digital age of 2009.  The marketing hit for the album has been going on for at least 2 months now slowly winding up to next week, it all seems so simple too, but it works.  I’m not sure how long this is going to be up there for, so i suggest you get your mouse and headphones over to Urthboy’s MySpace and listen to Spitshine.
