Interesting Article on Baron Von Alias & Mistabreeze
It’s hip hop, like, but not as we know it.

Excerpt: "....... The Baron takes to the stage looking like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Fred Astaire, while his official website describes him thus: “Born in the early 1800’s, Baron Von Alias began his journey in the North of England. Armed with a family heirloom Von Alias was granted a gift so rare; the powers required for time travel.”
This is not normal. But then neither is hearing a Geordie accent rapping. And on the basis of this, more’s the pity. Original tunes like Superheroes and the excellent Get Wild Gan Mental (a title that couldn’t be more Newcastle if it was stuffing pease pudding into it’s mouth and burning an effigy of Mike Ashley) burst forward at you, lift you up and make you feel unbelievably happy........"

For those who don’t
know, who are Animalistix?
Animalitix consists of
Mark Fear, unk_artist and Legaz. Fear and Unk rap, and all three produce, although Legaz has produced all
of the tracks on Zoocastle. We have been a crew for 5 years or so but have only
released one album: Working Class Ethics. We’ve come a long way since then and
we hope our new album will go down well. Spuggy Fitz, Smooth Jay and Slinx are
our extended family but we rarely work with them these days. Possibly a new
album coming with Fitz this year.
The new EP.
‘Zoocastle,” just dropped. IT’S A BANGER!! What other stuff can we download or
buy and where from?
Our new album is on
hold with a publishing company at the minute, so we have decided to release all
the new material on this EP. The
EP is available for free on Bandcamp for now and the official album release should
be available on iTunes and in shops later this year.
Who in Hip hop are you
currently listening too and who influences you?
Currently listening to
Rusty Juxx, Action Bronson, Sean Price, Ill Mind, the new Alchemist and OHno
shit some of that’s banging.. To be honest we all listen to all genres of music
so inspiration is too vast to put here! But for Hip-Hop mainly Redman, Mobb
Deep, Biggie, Big Pun, Nas etc…All the shit every Hip-Hop head loves.
What do you think of
the Newcastle HipHop scene and who are you rating?
The scene is ok,
nothing too special though, it has its plus and minuses. We havnt been involved
in much for the past couple of years.
The people we rate the
most are Spuggy Fits, Text Offenders, Dialect, and Ken Masters.
Whats next for
Animalistix?
World Domination..
Where can people catch
you live? Any shows coming up?
We havnt been gigging
for a while. We were sick of going to nights and hearing the same tunes all the
time and performing without getting paid. So we separated ourselves to sort out
lots of new material. We will be getting back into gigging again this year. No
specific dates as of yet though.
Highlights of 2011?
What are you looking forward to for 2012?
There were none. It
was shit. 2012 will mainly consist
of pushing shit and gigging. Mebs a UK tour.,See how the new album goes first.
