Wasn’t going to do a ‘Best Of’ this year, but actually it’s been good to go back over what 2014 gave us and pick out some of my favourites. Plus it means if I have a lazy Sunday back at … Continue reading →

The Black Opera – Black Nirvana

Posted on December 22, 2014 by aaabadboy

Dayum! I’d almost forgotten about these guys, one of the best rap albums of the year by far. I’ve not seen them mentioned anywhere outside of my inbox though. Still don’t know who the rappers are on this, any ideas … Continue reading →
