With the emergence of quirky acts such as this Manchester lot, UK hip-hop could finally come of age and move one huge step ahead. The Blendaholics, an eight-piece collective which includes DJs, Mcs, singers, producers and musicians, effortlessly assimilates thirties jazz (‘Crack’, ‘Roast Me A Joint’) or northern pop/rock (’Underworld’) into B-boys’ jams of a new kind, think Rae & Christian meets De La Soul. With lots of gigs and a forthcoming album, you’ll soon hear a lot more from this eclectic bunch.
