Tis Thursday!

Its been a big week for hip hop. Congrads to Lil Wayne on his breathing of life into a dying industry, we don't know what it is about him but it probably has something to do with the facial tattoos and a very public addiction to cough syrup. We too have had a big week over here with new tour dates from Chin Chin, Aesop Rock (with more to come), and Dizzee's second round in the US growing ever nearer it's shaping up to be quite the summer.

In other Jukie news, Despot capped off his Islands tour with a special guest appearance by Aesop Rock, who DJed the show on an stool/ipod rig. As you can see in this photo it was the beginning of a new chapter in Aesop's artistry, we look forward to the progressive development of this hidden talent. It has been brought to our attention (thanks to Mike) that Kanye West has made mention of both Dizzee Rascal and Del tha Funkee on his blog. Thanks Yeezy we appreciate your carefully exfoliated ears to the ground, no really we do.

Finally we hope Kanye and Co. get a load of this, its Stronger, Fitter, Funkeeer... is that how that goes?
