---------------------------------------------------------

A new album from one of the UK’s original MC’s is released 8th March 2004.

Blade has spent more than 10 years battling the industry as both independent operator and as part of a major.
In 2000 Blade hooked up with long time Blade fan, Mark B to make what has become one of the defining UK rap albums ever. ‘The Unknown’ (Source/Virgin) quickly sold thousands and brought Blades name into the mainstream.
During 2001 the pair opened for Eminem and saw their re-mixed single, ‘Ya Don’t See The Signs’ go into the top 20 followed by appearances on Top Of The Pops and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Lyrically and musically Blade is still on point, ‘Pop Idol’ is self-explanatory but ‘Slapping Egos’ and ‘Keep On Running’ reveal a side to the Blade story which hasn’t been revealed before.
There’s humour, pathos, frustration and anger all wrapped up on an album that dares to stand on it’s own. Musically and lyrically it takes issue with much of the over-marketed and formulaic major label rap that’s shoved down our throats at the moment.
‘Storms Are Brewing’ is perhaps the most complete musical statement Blade has made yet.
