Why you should go and listen to JFK is David Downey.
I come across a lot of fellow MC's when I'm promoting on Myspace. I give a track or two a quick listen, download anything obvious that's free, and if I like what I hear during the taster I always email and see if they're down for a collaboration.
I contacted JFK is David Downey this way a few months ago, and we agreed to swap a few copies of our respective CD's. This was very nice of him, I find only about 20% of the people I contact are willing to put something in the post for us. I'll be mailing his extra's out in my next mailout to a lucky few of you who've asked for our CD's lately.
I finally got around to listening to the first of the two album's "Capsule Effects", a collaboration with DJ Capsize. It's simply awesome, and is the definitely the best freebie I've received in a while. The production falls somewhere between Talkin' Honky Blues era Buck 65 and some of the less orthodox UK hip hop I've come across...

-----------------------BIO
The Twin Tailed Lizard is a creature of unique noises thats been around for a long time.
For twelve years now, we've been filtering a heady mix of influences into a kind of independent (of identification with a particular scene or sound) rap music that has always defied easy characterisation and pigeonholing.
On record the band go by the Twin Lizard Version's (Version 3 released an EP which is now available for free), and live we are the Twin Lizard Allstars...
The 'Despite EP' (click to download) from Version 3 was described as..."Anti-conventional, hip hop derived rap music featuring agitated social commentary dropped with Beastie Boys vocal styling over a backbone of live drums and bass with sung chorus hooks...augmented by mighty looped party grooves or ambient dub textures, and blasé street urchin rhyming that Black Grape would be proud of,".
"Original and off the wall tracks," - Dr Das, Asian Dub Foundation.
Fundamentally anti music industry from inception, and utterly irreverant towards its folklore and customs, Twin Lizard's recorded material is FREE for posterity.
The first Version 4 EP called 'Silent Britain' has been made available for download @ http://www.twinlizard.co.uk or on CD in January 2009.
