Force & Aussie Ozborn – Marked For Def

Jim Steps

Smart Mouths Connect Last week, a brand new track was thrown up on the DFTC Records website, featuring two dope emcees in Force and Aussie Ozborn (Def Men Walking). The track titled Marked For Def, is produced by High Flyer with cuts from DJ Johnny Love (Def Men Walking). The cover for Marked For Def, is a clever throw back to videos games from the early 80’s and also comes in an animated gif version, which is quite dope.

Dazed – Rest In Syn 7″ (Out Sept. 30)

Jim Steps

Rest in Syn is a record by a man who still values the memories of flipping through magazines and freaking out on seeing new track produced by a favourite artist; as Dazed puts it, “it’s all … Continue reading Dazed – Rest In Syn 7″ (Out Sept. 30)
