Ramson Badbonez returns with his brand new album ‘FUSION’.Embedded in the streets and lanes of Dalston, Hackney and Islington, where Badbonez made his way up, no stone is left unturned as Badbonez dissects the many highs and lows that took him from a life running the roads, to documenting his experiences across thirteen brand new tracks.The most impressive thing about ‘FUSION’ is the dexterity Badbonez showcases across the release, expertly traversing a catalogue of rhythms and tempos with his now signature delivery; crystal clear, unapologetic, razor sharp, yet intricate and highly complex multi-syllables.
This genre blurring offering is, in part, down to the curated production talent joining forces to ensure a formidable spectrum of neck-snapping sonics are offered up to both Badbonez and the listener. From album opener ‘Alpha’ produced by the one-and-only High Plains Drifter Jehst, to offerings from Dead Players’ very own GhostTown, long-time collaborator Mark Fear and heavy-hitter Forest DLG, and with a features list that includes Truemendous, Datkid and Confucius MC, ‘FUSION’ marks a significant moment in Ramson Badbonez career; elevating his position as one of the great commentators on life in London town, but further, as one of the rap games most innovative outliers.

Eagle Court' is the highly anticipated debut album from Brightonbased hybrid rap three piece, CMPND, formed of members Kemastry, Wundrop & Vitamin G. Since joining the High Focus Records family in April, the group have been tearing up the live circuit & churning out singles showcasing their sonic versatility - Clearly demonstrating why they are the torch bearers ushering in a whole new generation & sound into the UK Rap world.On the 11th of October 2019 CMPND will present ‘Eagle Court’, a densely packed album that defies categorisation, the trio bring a whole new vision and aesthetic to the forefront without sounding or mimicking the current sounds emanating from America, falling into the trappings of Grime & Drill or recreating the ‘90‘s Golden Age’ Hip Hop sound - Whether it be the mind bending production or the next level pen game, they are bringing something truly unique to the table. Named after the flat where they all lived and produced the album, it is clear the trio were hermetically sealed in the lab, crafting an exceptional vision devoid of outside distractions and influences.With surreal unpredictable rhymes from Kemastry, Vitamin G's multi- syllable machine gun verses and Wundrop providing cold, scathing social observations as-well-as handling all production duties, expect ‘Eagle Court’ to provide a modern day, new-generation saga, fusing the gritty & the suave in an audio visual experience like no other.'Eagle Court' is officially released on the 11th of October 2019.creditsreleased October 11, 2019All tracks written and performed by CMPND (Wundrop, Vitamin G & Kemastry) with the exception of feature verses.All tracks produced by WundropArtwork by Ral DukePhoto by Harvey Williams Fairley
