"About You Ain't Heard Of Me? Dickhead, Wasteman, Poomplex."


poomplex

Taking tips from Papoose (probably), Jamie Adenuga continues to flood the streets with tapes. Poomplex, he tells me, is being pressed up as we speak and will hit a HMV/ Rhythm/ Uptown near you soon. In the meantime, get a taster here - myspace.com/poomplex
and check out 'Don't Chat To Me' and the Skepta produced 'R U Dumb.' It'll bring a tear to your eye, I'll tell you.
Moves like this give the scene hope, I reckon. Truly. It's not about major label deals and making videos for Channel U. It's about creating a scene for yourself and building it from the bottom up. Why sign to a label that is essentially a bank with huge interest rates when you can sell a few thousand mixtapes of your own and make more cash for yourself anyway. Small steps make giant leaps on day. Or something.
It may not be Rush Management/ early days of Def Jam, but BBK is headed up the right direction.
Boy Better Know.
