“I start to think and then I sink, into the paper like I was ink. When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines, I escape when I finish the rhyme”

Keeping on with our series of musical revues of the artists we have visiting Irish shores in 2011 DJ Mek stepped up to the plate this time around to mix a solid hour of our all-time, number one favourite emcee – the mighty Rakim Allah!

Mek has cut up some lesser known solo jams along with the classics so all bases are covered for the Rakim fans – devoted or otherwise.  Even a tracklisting came through after we got the mix, nice one Mek.

Full details of the show are here…
