“Bring Me Down” By The Skints FT Jovel (Me) Now Up On MTV IGGY!

Image

“The Skints are “east London reggae” through and through. For the last ten years, Marcia Richards, Joshua Waters Rudge, Jamie Kyriakides, and Jonathan Doyle have toured Europe extensively with their eclectic fusion of Jamaican music styles, pop hooks, hip-hop, and heavy bass. They dropped a couple of albums and EPs along the way, too, yet you still might not have a clue.

On March 31, the British band are hoping to top-up their notoriety with the release of their new three-track EP, Short Change. The project’s standout, “Break Me Down,” which we’re premiering here at MTV IGGY, nods heavily towards reggae’s golden era of the late ’60s/early ’70s. However, things are kept fresh with the help of a special guest verse from guitar-loving grime bar specialist, Jovel (Random Impulse). One for the upcoming summer days, stream “Break Me Down” in full down below.” – Words by Joseph JP Patterson

Recipe: Japanese Fried Chicken W/Panko Breadcrumbs And Tomato & Basil Bruschetta

IMG_4888

Yet another recipe that I didnt know was gonna happen until I was stuffing my face with it.  I went to sainsburys to stock up on some s&b japanese curry cubes  (Im obsessed with Japanese food and culture just incase you havent noticed)  and while there I picked up some panko bread crumbs. panko breadcrumbs are these weird, slightly bigger breadcrumbs that are formed by electrocuting bread. (I wish I made that up but its true. Japan, go figure) These bread crumbs soak up a lot less oil so they’re awesome for deep frying.

Anyway, on with the recipe, I suck at all this backstory shit lol.

first: three bowls: in one mix some flour, black pepper, and all purpose seasoning. Second: one whisked egg & third: Panko breadcrumbs.

Then grab some chopped chicken breast coat it in the flour, then give it 10 mins to let it soak in. Next dip your chicken pieces into the egg mixture an then press it firmly into the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure your coat all of it thoroughly.

wait 15 minutes, then throw those badboys in oil, make sure its not raging hot otherwise it’ll burn before the chicken cooks propperly and then “fry until golden brown”

the brushetta was kind of a ‘I dont have any carbs so lemmie make something up’ situation.

slice of thickly crusty bread, brushed with olive oil and in the oven for 10 mins, bit of tomato sauce, roule cheese, spread and top with chopped basil.

boom! mission complete!

Recipe: Warm Griddled Lamb Salad W/ A Lemon & Mint Marinade And Homemade Croutons

IMG_4901

Like most of my dishes/recipes, I almost always have no idea what im going to make until theyre finished & I make em up as I go along. I started out with a bit of lamb neck chopped up, which I seasoned with crushed black pepper and i tiny bit of all purpose seasoning.  Then comes the marinade : I grabbed a small ramekin and mixed the juice of half a lemon, some chopped up corriander, a crushed clove of garlic, a teaspoon of dried mint & a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard, a bit of olive oil, whisked them altogether with a fork, then mixed them in with the lamb and left it there to marinade for an hour or so. After that, heat up a dry griddle pan & cook the lamb for about 5 minutes either side.IMG_4896

Next are the Croutons. I was at the end of my bloomer of poppy seed bread and what was left was a little ‘crispy’ in a word, but that makes perfect for croutons! I cut two thick slices then cut them into squares, drizzled a little bit of olive oil and salt , then throw em in the oven @ 180 degrees, and keep em in there until the very end. IMG_4897

After that I got some rocket, baby spinach, tomato and cucumber, put in the croutons and then finally the lamb & boom! we are done!

My New Ep Out Next Month

Waddup man! Like it says in the title, my E.P ‘G.S.D’  Out next month and will be up on all the usual itunes/amazon etc virtual stores. I’m gonna have physicals up for sale too, but only at gigs and stuff so make sure you buy the online version when it comes out. I’ve got a LOT of exciting content and shit finished up but I’m just figuring out the best way and times to put it out so that you don’t have too much content one minute and then fuck all the next, so as soon as i’ve figured it out i’ll throw up a release date. Thats a lot of the reason why I decided to quickly put out this EP to be honest, You’ve been without music for a hot minute and ive gotta keep you fed, no more 4-5 month empty gaps!
