Third album out from Stanley Odd

ALTERNATIVE hip-hop outfit Stanley Odd have released their third album A Thing Brand New via A Modern Way Recordings.

The Edinburgh-based group have also shared their track Her Name Was Hip Hop as a taster.

Frontman MC Solareye - aka Dave Hook - told RealSoundsOK: "The death of hip hop is not a new topic. Almost every generation of rapper declares 'hip hop is dead' as soon as a new generation appears.

"This is just my take on an established concept in hip hop culture, while allowing me to make comments and observations about some of the more negative effects of its commercialism."
