Local MC Briggs has a NEW! album, called The Blacklist, out on Golden Era rekids. The debut single is called ‘The Wrong Brother’ — which is kinda appropriate as far as this blogger is concerned…
Also, Vents reckons he’s recorded a track called ‘The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie’ — but I’ll believe that when I hear it. (Word on The Street is that the B-side is gonna be titled ‘Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste’.)
Whatever. Two reviews of The Blacklist:
- This album is kind of a big deal, it happens to be Golden Era Records (The Hilltop Hoods’ new label) first new full-length release beside the Hoods’ own product…
One thing’s for sure, Briggs has not arrived quietly. Quiet being the exact opposite of his style. Invite this 22 year-old Shepparton MC to your house party, and he’d announce his appearance by bellowing his name through the doorway and smashing a couple of empties all over your welcome mat. Classy, right? Class is not what we’re aiming for here. Take a listen to any track from debut album The Blacklist and you’ll find Briggs raging out of your speakers, foul-mouthed, cocksure and pissed off at…well, everything…
Anyway, congrats and er ‘props’ to Mister Briggs. You can see The Milkman perform live in October w/- Ice Cube.
