The ongoing partnership of emcee Lone Ninja and producer Blaq Masq continues with new single Concealed Position featuring kindred spirit Ray Vendetta (possibly not his real name) of Triple Darkness who joins forces with our heroes in for a new onslaught of verbal combat. Like ninja costume, Blaq Masq’s beat this time eschews frills for dark simplicity, with relentless boom-bap

LONE NINJA feat. RAY VENDETTA: Concealed Position (Prod. BLAQ MASQ)
LONE NINJA: Quad Barrel (Prod. BLAQ MASQ)
I have to say, I don’t recall a quad-barrel shotgun being among the traditional ninja inventory – but you’ve got to keep up with the times I suppose. And it’s probably just as well because on this one, Lone Ninja’s taking on Phantasm‘s undertaker, The Omen‘s Damian Thorn, demonic puppets and Richard ‘Night Stalker’ Ramirez, not to mention entering the House Of A Thousand Corpses and

LONE NINJA: Rise To Power feat. KINETIC 9 (Prod. BLAQ MASK)
Not had enough Lone Ninja recently, eh? Let the man himself emerge from the shadows to rectify that right now with new single Rise To Power, featuring Killarmy’s Kinetic 9 and produced by Blaq Mask. Could it be yet another harbinger of the long-awaited (but still not here) Day Of Reckoning LP? It certainly could. Expect epic synths, the sounds of an epic storm and more combat-based threats

SHOTGUN SHELL feat. LONE NINJA: What Lies Beneath (Remix)(Prod. BLAQ MASQ)
Keen followers of both UK rap and international collaborations might well be pleased to hear about the What Lies Beneath remix from the UK’s Shotgun Shell. Turns out that that which lies beneath – or rather she who lies beneath is Shell herself – and packing a small arsenal of street-fighting battle rhymes to boot, just so you know she ain’t nuttin’ ta fuck wit. All the same, if you’re

KURE feat. LONE NINJA: Suicide Run
The suicide run eh? We’ve all been there. Though admittedly not in the company of Lone Ninja who ensures on this that Oz producer Kure is covered all the way to the end of his beat with full tactical lyrical support. What’s that Lone? “Your twenty henchmen with dying scourge guns blaze/ From deadly mission, yo, I emerge unscathed.” Why – that’s perfect – it’ll be the ninja training one

CYRUS MALACHI feat. LONE NINJA: Street Art
…aaannd in the second slice of street darkness today it’s Street Art, a minimal downtempo slab of Brit-hop from Cyrus Malachi featuring one of the monkey’s favourite voices in contemporary hip-hop, Brooklyn’s Lone Ninja. The track joins the dots between the abstract paint splashes of expressionism, the graceful spray of blood on the pavement and, of course, hip-hop. It finds Mr Ninja commenting on the defeated, “You get

MYKILL MIERS & LONE NINJA (PROD. BLAQ MASQ): Killer Instinct
‘Danger, danger, danger’ – we might still be waiting for Lone Ninja’s next full-length effort to drop but he’s keeping his skills honed in the meantime with bars on new Blaq Masq-produced murder-rap cut Killer Instinct alongside veteran mic-slayer Mykill Miers who it seems Masq has managed to persuade out of retirement. So it is that the two heavyweights square up either side of

LONE NINJA feat. CONWAY THE MACHINE: Crime Wave (prod. BLAQ MASQ)(2017)
The Day Of Reckoning is coming. No, not that one you fools! Lone Ninja’s new LP Day Of Reckoning. And to whet your appetite, here is the latest leak from it – Crime Wave – featuring a melancholy piano-led beat from Blaq Masq and a first verse from Conway The Machine at his most heartless. Well, he is called the ‘Machine’. Sounds like the sort of time you might need a ninja around. A

ESKR-ONE & BLAQ MASQ feat. LONE NINJA, KID FADE & DJ TMB: Night Of The Unholy (2017)
“Whether invoked…or not invoked…evil…will come…” – so beginneth Night Of The Unholy from Eskr-One and Blaq Masq featuring Kid Fade, DJ TMB and that mic warrior of the shadows – Lone Ninja. This will be a horrorcore hip-hop track will it then? Got it in one! Well – it is Halloween, after all – and just like the classic Hammer/ Shaw Bros. crossover flick The Legend Of The 7 Golden

KURE feat. LONE NINJA: Spycraft (2017)
Rating: 
News just in – hip-hop’s hardest-working hitman, Lone Ninja, has surfaced once more with a guest appearance on new cut Spycraft from the forthcoming Kure LP The Gauntlet and it’s a musical match made in heaven.
