So we check our daily RSS feeds today from various hip-hop blogs and what do we see? Apple this, Steve Jobs that. Nothing about the new Wu Tang Corp album, a new Weezy leak, the latest on Yeezy and Amber, Drake’s latest V log or anything else we couldn’t give a flying shit about. So [...]

I’m Not Whole by Seymour 125.
D’ya ever get the feeling that something is missing? It could be as you triumphantly emerge 10 lbs lighter from the bathroom after a sphincter-straining dump or it could be that moment of panic you experience as you step off some form of rancid public transport and you think you’ve [...]

Here’s king Tim with Fat Lace Issue III. Yes it’s Westwood Wednesday, your midweek fix of the british broadcasting’s personality jock supremo. This is a landmark show, his first for the BBC. Don’t think we’ll be giving you second rate output going forward, we’re not abandoning his LWR, Capital or N [...]

We’ve recently been hitting you of with a lot of pre-1990 Westwood but thanks to a loyal Fat Lace reader (cheers Mark !) we bring you a rare chunk of audio where Westwood rips through some of the biggest joints from 1992 in his year end wrap up. As ever, radio gold and highlights just [...]
