Daretta - Heavy Mental - Free Download!!

[ENG]

We are very proud to present Daretta and his solo album "Heavy Mental"!!
Our boy is representing for "la Raza Araucana" from Santiago de Cile to Firenze Rifredi, and describes himself as: 'Born in Minorca, son of Norca, killer like an Orca, as poetic as Garcia Lorca...'
Let this deeply determined MC take you down a spiral made of black velvety words... and if you don't understand italian you can catch some drops of spanish, french and english here and there.. we assure that the meanings are seriously backing up the sounds and the mood. NO DOUBT!
Enjoy!


[ITA]

Siamo molto orgogliosi di presentarvi ufficialmente il nostro rapper Daretta ed il suo "Heavy Mental"!!
Quella che parla è "la Raza" Araucana, da Santiago de Chile a Firenze Rifredi.
"Nato a Minorca, figlio di Norca, assassino come un' orca, poetico come Garcia Lorca"
Un' autodefinizione che calza a pennello a questo mc profondo e determinato che vi trascinera' per il collo nel fondo del suo vortice di nero velluto verbale...e per questa volta vi consigliamo di lasciarglielo fare e di dare retta!!

Overknights Feat. DRELOVE!!! 5-03-2011 / Firenze!!!

Next Saturday (March 3rd 2011) we'll be hosting a gig with the mighty MC/DJ/Producer DreLove!! He can be considered the american backbone in italian hip hop, the link between Italy and New York...as he contributed, especially as an mc, to many tracks and albums that would later become some of the most appreciated joints in italian hip hop history. Check out the stuff he did with 'Radical Stuff', 'Neffa e i 107 elementi', 'Almamegretta', 'Saweshi'....
Lately he's been mostly active with his funk band 'DreLove & The White Niggaz' and is about to deliver his solo album produced along with drummer/beatmaker DRUMZ...
DreLove's work has been inspirational for many artists out here in Italy throughout the years, and to us he's a friend and mentor, so you know we're bound to get down!!
March, Saturday 5th....if you're in the area you might wanna bring your dancing shoes!!!

Overknights feat. Tom B. - Feb 17th 2011!!

Next Thursday we'll be hosting a special gig with Dj Tom B., straight from Paris!
We must say we have a thing for Brasil, especially Biga who had the pleasure to meet Thomas last year as he exported his own personal selection of brasilian tunes out to the Favela Chic in Paris...
Since then Biga and us were just waiting for the right time to turn that gig around and have Tom B. over here in Florence... so, now, the time has come:
Thursday, February 17th 2011 @ Cargo, Firenze!!

Thomas Bignon aka Tom B is known for spinning Funk, Brazil, Bootlegs, Latin, Afro, Disco, Broken, Live House, Hip Hop, Brazilian and Jamaican Jungle... ! He's been active on Paris' black music scene for over 15 years as an acid jazz bass player, a funk band manager, event organizer and music journalist. Of course as well as being a Dj and founder of the Booty Shakers Crew and the Redo De Suinge, an international network of brasilian spinnin' dj's. He's a Dj resident for the Avenida Brasil parties, the Favela Chic, the Rua Carioca parties as well as official Dj for Paris' Samba schools!! (Zabumba, Aquarela, Sambatuc, Bloco de Paris)

So if you're around you probably don't wanna miss this funky samba sound....
