Dizraeli

"Verbal majestics, brain-popping turntablism and live MPC action from the frontman and DJ of the mighty Small Gods"…

Dizraeli & DownLow are freshfaced from the release of 'Everyone's A Winner - The Mixtape' which has been splashing around all over the world of music like a K'd up Popsicle. The pair have been sharing stages with The Pharcyde, Foreign Beggars, Beardyman and Mos Def, and constructing a live hiphop show unlike anything you've seen before.

Biog

Rapper, writer, poet and singer, Dizraeli is a hip hop tour de force. Taking in politics, love, rain, supermarkets, grief, drug culture and masculinity with a sense of humour and directness that can make you wince, Diz is the BBC Radio 4 Poetry Slam winner, the 2006/7 Farrago UK Slam Poetry Champion, and a massive idiot at times. He has also authored 3 hip hop plays, one of which (The Rebel Cell, co-written with Baba Brinkman) won Spirit Of The Fringe award and rave reviews at the Edinburgh Festival, two years running. Dizraeli’s latest challenge Unplaned will be documented by film maker and fellow traveller, Billy Macrae. The pair are making an overland trip to Cairo, following Dizraeli’s vow to never fly again, as proof that air travel isn’t necessary.

...and Buddy Carson ft Emmy J Mac

In songwriting and spoken word Buddy finds his vessel of choice, and his honest, informal, and thoughtful poems explore the more natural considerations, all with a tint of wit and joviality.
