mini review

Hints of jazz and trip hop are slicky mixed with sharp, flowing rhymes to produce a crisp but mellow sound. A classy example of the UK hip hop talent that's out there at the moment. Expect to hear a lot more from these guys.

Promethean Foundation are Truth and Paradox - two friends who met each other through the common love of hip hop.

Since forming in May 2003, they have been laying the foundations and developing some exciting projects for a successful future.

Hailing from Ipswich, Truth and Paradox taught themselves how to be effective emcees.

Truth found hip hop when he was around nine-years-old. He says saw it as a way to express his views to people. His fascination with hip hop grew and he began writing rhymes when he was 12. Truth competed and won both rounds of regular competition on Letitia's weekend show.

Paradox got hooked on hip hop when he was around nine or 10. He says the intelligence in the way words and music formed a unique structure was the reason why his instinct drew him closer towards the genre and caused him to explore. Paradox began to listen to more conscious artist such as Talib Kweli and got into more of hip hop's roots. He started to write poetry, entered an international poetry competition and reached the semi finals.

On their music, Truth says: "I try not to slip it into any genre, but it's hip hop basically and we're trying to mould our own sound. Right now, maybe we're not something totally fresh and new but we've got our own sound and we're basically progressing."

How are u gonna compete in the mainstream with the american hip hop artists?? ur not basically, maybe you should stick to garage, the only urban sound brits can do well?!

Tom, Ipswich

Massive respect to Truth and Paradox, we need more hard working heads like these really trying to move the UK underground scene forward. So far the UK Music industry has chosen to ignore the mass of talent bubbling away under their very noses, which leaves it up to us to create our own industry. I hope these guys are a part of that building process. Peace and progress

Good to see these boys finally get some recognition for their hard work.
