Babyhead are a nine-piece Bristol band who mash up a mixture of ska, reggae and hip-hop with great aplomb.

DJ Flip, the Larry Mullen Jr. of hip-hop, first came in the public’s eye…er, no, make that, first came into the public’s eye…no, rather, first came into prominence in the public eye (there, that’s better) after scratching his way to the winner’s seat at the International Turntable Federation’s World Championship in 2003/2004.

The “slash” between the years is still a mystery to everyone involved. Was it 2003 or 2004? The answer is lost to the ages. What everyone remembers is that an Irish kid touched his records while they were moving, and for some reason this was worthy of special recognition. So they called him the Scratching Champion…or something. It’s not like he got a crown. Some say it’s a meaningless title, like Miss Universe or Lieutenant Governor.

Prozack Turner is front man of critically acclaimed California hip hop group Foreign Legion steps to the plate in his first solo album on independent label Hungerstrike Records. Originally signed to Dreamworks records in 2002, Turner has recorded with Pete Rock, Madlib, Organized Noize, The Alchemist and Jay Dilla among others to create a soulful journey, entitled "Death, Taxes and Prozack", which has been bootlegged though never released due to the labels demise shortly after completion.
