First up....
Overnites - Klimeks. For those familiar with his work will know to expect the highest level of production and he doesn't disappoint. 2013 has already seen the beat machine drop the "Nibbles" Ep and the"Glares" Ep and now to close the year with a bang we have Overnites. The Ep has five tracks including the long awaited "Tokyo Train". Each track has his signature wavy stamp and if that's not enough he has also posted an amazing remix of Wiley - Born in the Cold. Having worked with many of the talented MCs that Peterborough has to offer and Blizzard from Don't Flop you can expect 2014 to be a wavy one if Klimeks has any thing to say about it. Overnites available now on Bandcamp.

Next up we have the third and final instalment from our local production legend Juxta.
Juxtafied volume 3 is a perfect example of someone that has found their sound and mastered it. Volume 3 is a bit more grimey than the first two releases and continues to showcase Juxtas ability to merge genres perfectly with hints of Trap, Grime, Hip Hop and more. From the crisp drums of "Wind Up" to the sub heavy "Martian" this one is set to keep you head nodding right into 2014. Volume 2 and 3 are still up on his Bandcamp page and are well worth a download along with the final piece of the trilogy.

And finally...
For those that know, you already have this. Tha Free(ep) 2 by Omen D has been getting regular plays on the Locality show since its release late October. Omen displays amazing lyrical ability on the six track Ep firmly establishing himself as one of the best that Peterborough has to offer. Personal favourites are "C.R.E.A.M" and the lyrically deep "Hard Times" giving you an insight to Omens political frustrations of our government and money. Omen is on top form throughout every track and we look forward to hearing more from the Boro Badman.

Some videos to check out.
Xidus Pain is a name familiar to any one from Peterborough that has a taste for REAL HIP HOP. This video, "One of the Flyest" was directed by Carl Peck and gives us our first taste of the yet to be released album "Project X". The video has a great super hero theme and solidifies Xidus Pain as One of the Flyest!
