Riz MC - The Sonic Resistance continues

Riz MC (AKA Riz Ahmed) has been extremely busy in recent months - aside from starring in Ill Manors, the directorial debut from Ben Drew (AKA Plan B), Riz has released the critically acclaimed album MICroscope on Tru Thoughts. Full Thought are extremely pleased to be in charge of the publishing. Riz has been getting radio support from a range of DJs - Lauren Laverne (6 Music), Jo Whiley (Radio 1), Huw Stevens (Radio 1), Jon Kennedy (XFM), Nick Grimshaw (Radio 1) - including a high profile interview on Gemma Cairney's Saturday show on Radio 1. All of this activity has drummed up the amount of attention the MICroscope album deserves. 

"'MICroscope' sets Riz MC apart as a singular voice with an innovative and bold musical vision; featuring collaborations with Plan B, True TigerRedinho (NMBRS) and Zed Bias, alongside a host of cutting edge remixes, the new release sees this highly intelligent, multi-talented rapper mixing big ideas with big bass on an adventurous musical canvas."

The album consists of a range of styles: There's moody synth driven techno beats, big basslines, acid synths, garage, dubstep and hip hop production. Contact Full Thought for any sync/license requests.

This month Riz MC will be supporting Wu Legends on their UK tour, featuring Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon & GZA:
