Yungun is one is of the illest rappers out there, he's like the Austin Powers of Hip-Hop. "...Too damn smooth, Got chick strippin off like Moulin Rouge!"

Nice one, cheaper than direct from the label eh? Definitely get round to buying it if you can....

Blimey... I sound like his agent!

HMV got it here for £7.99. If I hadn't just ordered DJ Format I'd order it up myself.

Yeah man that must've been Respek BA. He's getting mad hype in a lot of UK circles but I'm not really feeling him at all.

It's a shame, because I'm a massive Blade fan since years ago. I heard a couple of tracks from his in-the-works album with Baby J and they're absolutely amazing. It's just such a shame the BA comes across as such as arsehole live and turns so many people of what a skilled emcee Blade is.

You can grab his cd off his label at http://www.janomi.com I think I got mine for a tenner delivered from them.

Yeh, that Blade show was an absolute joke! The best part was when one of their crew went "I'm here representing the scottish hip-hop scene" and most of the crowd pissed themselves!

Def try and get hold of some of Yungun's stuff though

I haven't heard his album, but I like what I heard. The Big Idea with Lewis Parker is dope.

Was that the show with Blade? I was meant to get up to that but couldn't make it. I saw PUTS the same week anyway, so I wasn't too disappointed.

Hey

What do people here think of Yungun? I first heard/saw him at the Jazz Cafe last October supporting the P and I thought he was the bomb. I grabbed his album 'The Essance' and it is a sweet little number. There are some classy joints on it such as 'City Breaks', 'Big Idea' and 'Dancing Feet'. Also 'Gringo Lingo' has some Spanish crossover, a la Giant Panda!

What do people reckon then?
