Read moreRiff Raff Interview w/ DJ Semtex [Video]
Arrival is a regular HipHop night in the UK where we bring over the hottest MC’s to the UK, for their first debut show. I first interviewed Riff Raff in a Houston mall back in 2005. No one knew who he was including myself, and I did the interview with him because he stood out, looked like he had a vibe. 8 years later and i’m djing for him onstage in London. Crazy!! and thats what I love about this game, anything can happen no matter who you are, no matter where you are from. Its no surprise that Riff Raff aka Jody Highroller tore it down, it was another one of those classic nights. After the show, I chopped it up with Riff Raff backstage, he talked on his forth-coming album with Diplo, that MTV list, and more. Catch the full interview on BBC Radio 1xtra this Friday from 10pm. The next Arrival night features Dyme A Duzin. – DJ Semtex

Pounds, Quids, Euros, he’s been stacking them all up on his recent tour of the UK. ‘Rare Chandaliers’ is an appropriate concept as Bronson is actually a real life Diamond Geezer, he’s one of those guys who is down to earth, does it for the people, does it for the culture. Bronson talks on the making of his latest classic ‘Rare Chandaliers’, what happens next, who to watch out for in 2013 and more.
