(Introduction courtesy of Strictly Kev) For this week’s vintage session we turn the tables over to Solid Steel’s US ambassador: King Megatrip.

Vintage Solid Steel: J. Rocc - Syndromes 2
Not much time to spare this time round, but don’t think this entry from the Vintage Steel treasure chest is any less special because of it. Don’t take our word - just peep that deliciously funky tracklist! J. Rocc has been doing his hip hop thing since the mid-eighties; starting out with PSK, he went [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Last Stand At The BBC
Cue the atmospheric wild west music in the background as Solid Steel makes it’s last stand! The BBC in their unrelentingly infinite wisdom (note: sarcasm) never really know a good thing when they’ve got it (don’t get us started on the Radiophonic Workshop), and the eradication of Solid Steel from the BBC airwaves is a [...]

Solid Steel: DK & Strictly Kev respect to James Brown mix
James Brown - what is there that’s left to say? His status of living legend to solely ‘legend’ was a sad but inevitable blow when, ever the showman, he passed away on Christmas day of 2006 at the age of 73. A number of tribute mixes appeared shortly after Brown’s passing, his impressive back catalogue [...]
Steinski going all kinds of live
Steve Stein(ski) has been around the block for some time, but has kept his head down more often than not. If you don’t know his story by now, well.. I’m sorry, but you can’t call yourself hip hop. Take off the shelltoes, lose the chains, and go home and tell your mother that you’ve ‘grown [...]
