The late nineties and early 2000s were an incredibly fertile time for underground hip-hop and two of the LP highlights from that era were Boston producer/ MC/ DJ Edan’s only two studio LPs to date. Debut, Primitive Plus made big waves but what followed was bigger still – a hip-hop Sergeant Pepper’s…to its predecessor’s Revolver. Utterly psychedelic from the swirling

EDAN: Beauty & The Beat (Vinyl re-issue)
HOMEBOY SANDMAN & EDAN: #NeverUseTheInternetAgain
Never Use The Internet Again or, more correctly, #NeverUseTheInternetAgain finds Homeboy Sandman & Edan tapping into the zeitgeist of post-Facebook data abuse revelations in which everyone has finally realised that when Facebook and others said that ‘if you sign up for stuff, your data will be used’ they meant that when you sign up for stuff, your data will be used.

YOUR OLD DROOG feat. WIKI & EDAN: Help (2017) Video
Rating: Ukrainian-American emcee Your Old Droog might not be Nas (all interweb rumours from a while back to the contrary), but the man’s got mic skills.

And when Edan’s verse arrives after some monster

POETS OF RHYTHM vs. EDAN: Video (part 2) (2013)
Not had enough of Edan in a glossy black wig eh? I refer, of course, to his effortless cutting between Poets Of Rhythm wax whilst rhyming promo verse over the top in the apparently ‘gone viral’ Poets Of Rhythm vs. Edan video part 1. Well, now’s your chance to catch the reclusive legendary rapper/ dj/ producer looking quite a bit like Joey Ramone once more. Both videos are part of the PR campaign by

DAPTONE presents: THE POETS OF RHYTHM feat. EDAN video (2013)
Daptone‘s got a brand new bag! Well, brand new old bag. Why? Because they’re re-releasing a ‘best of’ anthology from German retro funkers Poets Of Rhythm. The Poets were famously the backing band for Lyrics Born on I Changed My Mind off Quannum’s classic ’98 Spectrum LP and purveyors of instrumental funky soul of such quality in general that they were a big influence on Daptone
