Our bredren Ming decide to try his hand at making a video for his crew Lex Umbra, having no equipment to hand other than his Blackberry, this is what he managed to cook up.



Ming will also be hosting a Jam session this Thursday at Cardiff Arts Institute with guest producer Benjamin One from the Vertebrae crew in Bristol plus Blaktrix and Skunkadelic on rhyme duty.

How serious is Afrikan Boy? Particularly after the Lidl track I'm not too sure but I'm going to take him at the most light hearted as that's about the realm he becomes really enjoyable. It seems his main credentials are working with MIA on Kala (and subsequent Mixtapes and Tour) but that's one album where the guests do a worse job of rhyming than even MIA herself. But then that album shines beyond the lyrics and so does Afrikan Boy

There's something instantly likeable about the guy but this track extends beyond simple charm with Konrad from Old Money flippin' a heavy Canadian Grime style on the remix..
