Was it coincidence that the monkey had just started writing these very words about new EP Mad Conspiracies from producer Kool Herz when the laptop started glitching with large blocks of black screen appearing and disappearing across different portions of the screen? Well, if it was the Illuminati they didn’t reckon with the monkey switching things off and then on again did they? Which means you do get hear about KH’s new concept EP featuring seven classic conspiracy-themed hip-hop acapellas over new beats. Up first, appropriately enough, Prodigy exercising himself about the Illuminati on Room Hazit You’re A Conspiracy Theorist over 808 old-school-isms while the beats get a bit more early 2000s on closer Bitches Brew Throwdown. You’ll also appreciate the appropriation of Ian Dury on Mad (U So Crazy) and the monkey’s favourite – Conspiracies On Repeat providing Guru with a funk-derived beat chunkier than that Premier originally gave him.
