Skinnyman Jailed For Harassing Ex-Lover

Well I never...

From The Voice:

"A UK rapper has been jailed for 16 months for harassing his ex girlfriend.

Skinnyman, real name Alexander Graham Holland, was found guilty of two counts of common assault, witness intimidation, and breach of a non-molestation order for harassing the 31-year-old after she ended their relationship.

It has been reported that the north London star physically assaulted his victim on more than two occasions and bombarded her with threatening calls and texts on a daily basis.

Last August the rapper followed the victim in her car as she drove home. He then attempted to drive her off the road, but when unsuccessful, attacked her car with a hammer whilst shouting threats at her."

Get the rest here.

Skinnyman - Music Speaks Louder Than Words (Video)

He might being serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure, but that hasn't stopped Skinnyman unleashing this video for Music Speaks Louder Than Words, a tour of the veteran's north London ends.

Don't Stay In...

DJ Moodie feat. Skinnyman & Thre - No Fire Without Smoke

From Moodie's Built From Scratch album, which also sees Roots Manuva, Task Force, Plan B, Roots Manuva and Lee Scratch Perry getting their hands dirty.

Check Moodie's MySpace for more music and to generally get more information than this half-hearted, vague mention.

Does this mean Skinnyman's coming with new material?

Ol' ting. This footage comes from the recording session for the wicked London Allstars from '97:

Karl Hinds soon come

Word has it Karl Hinds has got an album on the way. Not sure what that's gonna end up like, but Hinds was kinda nice way back when. Don Gramma was definitely a prominent tune during UK hip hop's boom (yeah alright, maybe not a boom). You got a sense of pride hearing a British guy getting his Ebonics on.




This was the money shot, though.



I wonder what the new project will turn out like.
