Hock Tu Down

UK first press 2018 LTD edition. Sleeve EX with very minor wear. Lee Scott requires little introduction. However for those unaware, Lee is a world-renowned rapper/producer from Runcorn who emerged in 2003 before forming the infamous Blah Records label. Boasting an extensive history far too in-depth for recital, all that needs to be known is that Blah Records have maintained the most consistent output as a UK hip-hop record label ever since. Through Blah, Lee provided a platform for dozens of up-and-coming artists, whilst continuing to release regularly himself. In fact 15 years later, Lee’s work-rate has more than caught up with him. He is currently sat on tons of unreleased projects, solo and collaborative. There is some irony in how Lee’s projects are often described as sounding ahead of their time, yet for the most part they are made up of sounds lifted from the past. But of course, this is also due to beatmakers and producers such as Reklews. A pioneer of the modern Blah noise, Reklews became a pivotal figure in the Blah family, from the very first time of meeting Lee Scott. This is the story of how Hock Tu Down came to be.
