DJ Semtex x Dizzee Rascal - Interview from 2003 (Video)

The big homie DJ Semtex recently posted this up on his blog. It's an interview from his "Piece Keepers" DVD with Dizzee Rascal, which was released back in 2003.

Watching back, it's interesting to see how Dizzee has progressed over the past 7 to 8 years...It's crazy to think that it didn't seem that long ago when "Boy In Da Corner" was actually released... Time flies, eh?!

DJ Semtex Interviews Eminem (Video)

Big interview.

Sem' talks to Em' (check out my rhyming skills) about "Relapse", working with Dre on "Detox", and working with Lil Wayne. Eminem also talks about his favourite rappers.

This is only a small section of the interview. Full audio can be found here

DJ Semtex: Mixtape No. 5

Aside from having a dope radio show, Semtex's mixtape game is also tight. I remember his "Cold As Ice" mix from back in the day, which is classic.

This mix from the mid 90's sports a sick selection of independent & underground Hip Hop from the likes of Big Noyd, D&D Allstars, Channel Live, plus tracks from the likes of Busta, Redman and Lord Finesse...Don't sleep!

Shouts to DJ MK for posting this one up. I may have to liberate that "Cold As Ice" mix sometime soon...

Dirtee Stank Podcast Vol. 1

The new Dirtee Stank podcast is up for grabs, featuring Dizzee, Newham Generals, and Setmex on the ones & twos...

Semtex says:

"Raw and uncut, it’s the first Dirtee Stank Podcast, it took a few takes but we got there in the end. There’s an interview with the Gens, some exclusives. Dizzee Rascal, The Newhan Gens, and Chrome go in hard on the mic, I’m on the decks. It’s hot!"

The 18 minute long freestyle is straight heat!

Wale "African Warrior" Freestyle

Only a week after killing it over "Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes", Semtex brings us another Wale freestyle, as he goes in over Donaeo's "African Warrior". For those not in the know, the original is one of the biggest UK Funky joints out at the moment...You play this anywhere, it's game over.

Listen/Get: Wale "African Warrior" Freestyle

Big up Semtex, probably the hardest working DJ in the UK.

Whilst we're on the subject of US artists over UK beats, shout out to Theophillus London, who should hopefully be dropping his "Heads, Shoulders..." freestyle real soon.

Previously: Wale "Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" Freestyle

Wale "Heads, Shoulders, Knees, Toes (Freestyle)"

Following on from Wale's Twitter episode last week, he and Semtex have patched things up, and we get a new freestyle as a result.

Listen/Get: Wale "Heads, Shoulders, Knees, Toes (Freestyle)"

If you don't know about the original joint by K.I.G. it's killing it over here in the clubs....Saying that, I'm still not really down with doing the dance.

Shout to Semtex for hooking this one up.

DJ Semtex: Fabolous Interview (Video)

Fabo talks about his upcoming album "Losso's Way", his thoughts on Kanye's album, and which MCs to look out for in 2009.

DJ Semtex x ?uestlove Interview (Video)

?uestlove's Top Tips for 2009 (Video)

Very interesting interview. ?uestlove reckons 2009 will be Jim Jones & Ron Browz' year...I mean, "Pop Champagne" is a certified banger, but c'mon, Jimmy & Browz?! I dunno man, that's a fairly far-out decision...

For me, it'll most likely be Wale or Kid Cudi. As far as major players go, I got the feeling that Em's forthcoming album will be straight crack, whilst "Blueprint 3" is shaping up to be very solid indeed...

Unless Dre finally drops "Detox", Eminem & Jay will own 2009...

Your thoughts?

P.S. I agree on Twitter being the new thing to take off....

Dizzee Rascal & Semtex Take Over Australia (Video)

So Dizzee, along with Chrome and the big homie DJ Semtex just completed their recent tour of Australia...Their 3rd time this year! By the looks of things they smashed it....

P.S. Sem...I NEED that Pioneer mixer in my life man!

DJ Semtex x Lil Wayne "Amsterdam Interview"

Just came in from a day of DMC practice and a gig in Southend. Saw this and had to post asap.

Anyhow, the big homie DJ Semtex interviewed Weezy a a few weeks back in The 'Dam (you may remember the Teaser I posted up). Here's the full interview, in which he talks about working with Jay Electronica, wanting to work with Eminem, "Young Money" and more....

Em, if you're reading this - call Weezy immediately!

DJ Semtex Interviews Q-Tip (Video)

Q-Tip talks on his new album, Barack Obama, and the Tribe Called Quest reunion.

His answer to Sem's final question is very surprising/shocking!

Stay tuned for the full interview....
