The Fake, The Biter and The Wack

As noted on the right side of this blog page I made it clear that that I will show you who I follow and not follow… and most important, whose wack. Well, as they say bad news travel faster than good news and people get a buzz when trouble starts but am not here to start trouble, I’m here to make a point.

As for those that do know me I take my music, culture and job seriously and one thing I really can’t take are fake ass suckers, biting ass n****’s and wack mutha F****’s and I came across all three this mouth. I will start off with the fake ass sucker. I do have my personal reason why this cat has to be called out but when I hear that everybody feels the same way about this dude I have to come out and say something. Birmingham (so called DJ) named DJ Mylz, known for doing the watered down Hip-Hop events called Heducation (or HEDZ, Yeah he looks like he gives head). My Beef with him was that he asked me if he could add my profiles to his Heducation form, which back then would help him set up or take his Heducation get on the stepladder to where he is now. Now that his Company has a place in Birmingham’s events/clubs, I never once got a thank you or invite to any of his gig’s or workshop and what really got me is when I use to do a Hip-Hop What’s On emails (Midland’s mailing list) he asked me to removed him from the mailing list. That was the only email I got from him since he asked me for my profiles. That to me was disrespectful. I seen his sorry ass at Birmingham’s Hare & Hound last year when Mikey D of Main Source was performing and he tried to explain his actions then turns round and falls back on to why I don’t feel him by saying he’ll put me on one of his nights. That hasn’t happen yet... On the real, don’t say nothing if you can’t stick to your words. No one has respect for this dude, Miss C Brown told me his gig’s are weak, Mega Stress (of MD7) tells me his events are just made for a hippy kinda crowd, DJ *** tells me he’s just plan wack and now that he’s got Serato it’s just made him wacker, Mr FX tells me he plays for himself and Mad Flow leaves no comment. Not that I want to get on his weak ass productions but the point that I’m making is that Birmingham was one of the cities that I lived in and made me make my Djing full time as I was surrounded by real DJ’s, this dude has weaken the town with his not only his PG style, but his wack ass promotions. On 23^rd October, I booked to see KRS One at HMV Institute alone with Miss C Brown, Queen Rochelle and my partner Chantel. I was looking fwd to this event when I heard in some ways that DJ Mylz might have something to do with this as he was selling tickets, well! That’s what I was told. Going to see a living legend is one thing but hearing a fake ass DJ do the warm up that don’t do their homework is another thing and I was right. Soon as we walked in the place all I could hear was bullshit. Even my partner who doesn’t following hip-hop music as strong as I do turned round and made it clear that he has no atmosphere, mixing was awful and looks like a rat. I’m not even going to explain what a warm up DJ suppose to do but he killed the mood, When KRS One did step on stage (After Kenny Parker set up his turntables) he didn’t even look or thanked DJ Mylz, why! Because he was wack and at the end of the gig I do remember KRS One saying let’s ended this event by hearing only the Classics from the 90’s, what doe’s DJ Mylz do, puts Witness (1 Hope) by Roots Manuva. Get the fuck outta here DJ Mylz. You’re a fake ass wannabe DJ with no skills that will always be, not just mine, but everybodys wacklist. DJ Cro told me you did a weak Guru tribute and on your flyer you put MC Guru. Guru never ever had MC in front of his name stupid. Phunk, you need to take a rest, from now on you will hear a lot from me.

As for the Biter, well! It never seems to amaze me. Miss C Brown would not want me to mention your name but for a dude that acted like a fool and felt he got dissed by a woman and tried to come back by biting our event One’s & Two’s by calling it some wack shit with a wack ass flyer, Damme! You must have taken it bad. There is only one open deck night in Birmingham and that’s ours. One’s & Two’s. Didn’t see you at the last one where we featured Klashnekoff and Mailk of MD7. Full house. It was milla time for us you Biting ass n****. And last but not lest. I’ll take it easy on this one, the Wack Mutha F**** named Yeshua from London. Stop selling those wack ass mixtape dog. So wack you ain’t worth dissing. Go work at Asda or something and don’t come to the Midlands again. Please!

Download: The Official Kenny Dust mixtape: Dust Particles

Dust Particles: Vol, 0

Hello, I’m kenny dust and I’m a recovering perfectionist. This mixtape is the revelation of what has become a closely guarded secret. Music created between 1999-2004 either produced by or featuring yours truly. This never really saw the light of day cos as a perfectionist, I was never happy with it. I was always hearing room for improvement especially from a technical standpoint. At this point I lived in the studio, namely Raw Material Music & Media based in King’s Cross, London. That’s where I first learned how to make beats using Cubase on an old Atari computer and an AKAI S950. I was taught mainly by Storm and D.A. Tones. Raw Material was real creative hub where I met and worked with so many talented people. You could walk in at any time and bump into artists-MCs, producers, DJs, film-makers etc. I just had high standards, maybe too high. I never considered my stuff to be ‘UK Hip-Hop’-none of us did. I was highly influenced by East Coast hip-hop. Gangstarr, GURU (RIP) was a big influence on me as an MC and of course Premo on the beats but also Wu, Diamond D, Pete Rock & Large Pro. That was the level I always aspired to, even when engineering I was trying to get as close to the sound of my favourite albums and songs-with limited means. Soulful, rough around the edges, warm and dusty.

In hindsight, I’m able to love and appreciate it with new perspective. I still hear the imperfections and stuff but it also gives it character, which I feel is at an all time low in music right now but that’s another story…

I have many great memories of this period of my life and this mixtape is a like a photo album in many ways, documenting it all. I didn’t even realise just how many people there were in those pictures. I felt like the time was right to share this with all those people and the world, so here it is…

I wanna thank all the artists that I have worked with, you have been crucial to my development as a person and as an artist. Thanks to all the cheerleaders who’ve been supporting me throughout, you believed in me before I did. Eternal gratitude.

Extra special thanks to DJ Psykhomantus, destroying careers since 19-how long. You’re like Rampage featuring Busta Rhymes-Wild for the Night! Lol

Thanks for your time and your energy, you are always creative and ambitious in all you do. It’s inspiring and it helps keep me on point. Keep pushing the envelope, like a pissed off postman.

I know your girl’s definitely mad cos it took us too long to do this mixtape…
