Friends of Style Warrior
Website dedicated to the recording artists involved in the early days of UK Hip Hop, from around 1984 through to 1996, featuring tracks up to the present day from certain artists. You will find information and discographies of most of the artists that helped construct the backbone of UK Hip Hop. Lovingly put together by Websta with plenty going on in the forum too.
Weekly radio show specialising in (but not exclusively) old school UK hip hop, hosted by Waxer… the original King of the Biscuits. Available to listen live on Sensei.fm, plus you can grab a download podcast of the shows too. Always worth a listen, and also a laugh to pop into the chatroom when listening live.
“A blog for those of a certain age who have enjoyed any of the four elements of hip hop from back in the days of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five to Style Wars to Mike Allen to Streetsounds Electro albums”. I couldn’t have put it better myself.
Excellent blog run by Scenes 14.
UK crew Hijack fan site run by Gibo.
The one stop shop, for UK hip hop!
Good old Colin has been helping me out with scans so I can redraw artwork for these shirts since day one. He’s a real star and a great DJ to boot.
