Okay, okay we know it’s been a minute. We got crazy material to unleash on you but we’re busy dudes over here at Fat Lace HQ, however, as you know when we come, we come correct. So if you’re missing us why not just come and see us in person. Dan Large and Drew Huge will be signing autographs at the Nice & Smooth show this Sunday in London. GET YO’ TIX HERE.  And if you ever doubted who’s the leading authority on all things Nice & Smooth related, get schooled HERE.

Those of with you with an unbashed fetish for those red and yellow Tuff City 12″ sleeves will be more than familiar with the works of Funkmaster Wizard Wiz. Who can forget the Moments & Whatnauts sampling ‘Girls’ or ‘Crack It Up’ – the crack anthems of all crack anthems. But before the Bellevue Patient went solo he was part of of the Undefeated Three. To our knowledge only one of their tracks appeared on wax previously, the awesome ‘U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D’ on the Smokin Raps compilation and before that they appeared on the seminal ‘Unity Rap’. Fast forward to, err, just last week, Tuff City dropped an EP of rare Undefeated Three joints including this banger. So we urge you to head over to Tuff City and grab a copy for yourself in the hope they dig deeper into these reels and unearth more gems for us.

In fact, we’re feeling generous today and have a spare copy of The Undefeated EP to give away so tell us in the comments section your top three Tuff City joints and we’ll pick the selection we’re feeling the most.

It has been a few minutes since we blessed you – atchoo – with a Rappers Retirement Home update, but that’s because rappers just don’t fuckin’ retire any more. Once upon a time, you could rely on an MC to take the 542 sales of his latest project on the chin and go back to movin’ birds like a Bill Oddie guff. Now they try and collaborate with the younger generation/go on to twitter to diss the younger generation/ give tours of their shitty neighbourhoods where something interesting once happened. Everyone’s a multi-tasker and multi-hyphenate these days, and none more so than our man to the man to the man DJ Yoda.

Yoda is Fat Lace famalam to the death, joining the crew when he was an aspiring mixtape DJ with Frank Oz’s hand up his arse. Now he gets paid £8M per year for splicing the ‘Chocky’s Children’ theme with the intro from ‘Ulysses’ to provide a new soundtrack for a live screening of the ‘Lemon Popsicle’ movies at the O2. He’s so successful that we even heard a black person turned up at one of his shows. So what to do with all that money?

Well, since the market for frozen orange juice futures is particularly rocky at the moment, Yoda has sunk his money into beauty therapy in Spain, figuring ‘Dem Spanish chicas is damn hairy, yo’. His words. Massages, depilation, eyebrow threading and plucking, all that shit. We’re not sure if things get all ‘happy ending a la Brenda in ‘Six Feet Under’, but as long as it’s not the homunculus on the shop sign doing the rub-and-tug, we’re down for whatever.
