Ty launches 'Kick Snare And An Idea'

Since Ty signed to Full Thought Publishing in January he's been extremely busy. In the lead up to the release of Kick Snare and An Idea Part 1 (out now on Tru Thoughts), he was playlisted on MTV Base and BBC 6 Music, he's also found time to pop in and chat to Huey Morgan on BBC 6 Music (listen again) and DJ 279 on Choice FM (listen again). Tonight you can catch Ty live at the Jazz cafe with limited tickets left (link).

Ty's new material is taking the mercury nominated rapper to new and exciting levels. The lead track on the single, “Like You Never”, is a deep and multi-layered cut that finds Ty setting out his stall and airing his concerns about the state of his beloved music scene today, his philosophical and measured flow carried up on a euphoric melodic hook to a resolute chorus. Two more brand newies showcase Ty’s fabled versatility: the sparse, loping beat and laid-back fluidity of “Knock Knock”, and “Playing With Fire” with its staccato delivery over a melodic, dreamy soundscape. The latter track features celebrated rapper and poet Akala and grime MC Durrty Goodz.

New Signing: Youngblood Brass Band

Full Thought are very pleased to announce that the wonderful Youngblood Brass Band have signed their upcoming publishing rights to us. The nine piece brass/electronic ensemble make a variety of music, mixing elements of hip hop, traditional brass band, improv & punk. The first single ’20 Questions’ will be out on June 3rd, to be followed by their new album ‘Pax Volumi’, out in July on Tru Thoughts Records.

The nine-member ensemble hail from all over America (Madison, New Orleans, New York, Nashville, Minneapolis, Chicago) and have been unleashing their crash course in hip-hop/brass band/improv/punk on stages worldwide since 2000. What other band can claim the honour of having their music spun by DJs like ?uestlove (of The Roots), working with hip hop luminaries like Talib Kweli, having their original compositions performed by student marching bands and jazz ensembles around the globe, and still not be out of place on an all-punk bill? What other band brings together the ostensibly disparate worlds of the trombone geek and the backpacking b-boy?
