Rubi Dan and Effect Mode/ Lexx Blake/ Tomb Crew is always a great combination and once again this is the case. Rubi is really building up a great catalogue of hits, whether it’s dancehall, hip hop or any other genre. We heard some more of their collabs and trust us they are great, keep an eye out for them.

HDD Highlights: Effect Mode & Illaman at HDD February Session
Saturday’s HDD was an eventful one! We had February snowfall which caused an hour long power cut at The Camp, but that didn’t stop us from having a HDD party. Effect Mode and Illaman gave us one hell of a performance playing tracks from their new project.
Illaman also treated us to a freestyle using the words South London, orange and nipple tassels, as suggested by the crowd. Watch out for big things from Effect Mode in 2012, the new project truly is UK hip hop at its finest!

Hipsters Dont Dance February Session
Ladies and Gentlemen we are back! On the 4th of February we are back at The Camp for some more tropical bacchanalian madness. This time we are joined by Effect Mode and Illaman. The guys will be doing a live performance on the night as well as a hip hop tinged set. For a slight hint of the madness that it will be on the night check out prolific twitterer and badman MC Illaman’s (and Micall Parknsun) freestyle over an Effect Mode beat.
Look out next week as we will have something special in store that we just cooked up with Effect Mode and Nick from Yo Mama.
Also on the night will be Why Delila, Illanja and Kazabon & Hootie Who bringing you the best in Hip Hop, tropical and dancehall. You don’t want to miss out on this as we will be going even harder this year than last.
