RZA / Killa Kela/ Dan Le Sac & Scroobius Pip Live Review by Craig Montana
A strange night and bizarre location for the Monday night smack down that was RZA @ the IndigO2 bar (Nr the O2 arena). If I'm honest I was kind of sceptical about the whole affair. It was 4.30pm on the Monday afternoon and I still hadn't sorted a ticket out for what was going be the event of the month..if not the year. Positive thinking would be my saviour. That and the Beatbox maestro- Killa Kela. Kindly providing me with a plus 1 on the heavily named guest list. (Cheers Kela!) So I was blessed. Guest list sorted and armed with the EBS Digicam and a cold can of Red Stripe, I started my mission to O2 arena.
I made it inside the venue with good time..pleasant staff and minimal queuing meant that spirits were high between me and my plus 1 (Joel B, IMR). The venue looked about the size of The Astoria but without the sticky floors and gritty loos. A plush setting indeed for the self proclaimed Abbott of Hip Hop. By 8.30 the spacious venue started to pack out a little with an interesting mix of London cool kids & scensters, student-indie types and straight up rudeboys. The opening warm up act; Dan Le Sac & Scroobius Pip rushed the large stage with a barrage of sounds and breaks. I'm not really into their music personally, but was impressed by their stage presence and ability to laugh at themselves whilst transforming a fairly 'where's RZA at?' crowd into a passive mass of openness..hard feat! But they did well. Check out their music and future tour dates.

Estelle: ilikemusic because... It enables me to get my feelings out and it’s borderline therapy for me. Music makes me feel.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
Jez, Utah Saints: ilikemusic because... It’s very good for the soul.
Kat Vipers: ilikemusic because... There's not many other things to like.
Jacbob: ilikemusic because... It's very VERY good
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Omid16B: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel whole and makes me feel like I have my feet on the ground. It makes me feel love again and reminds me of what we are. It allows me to express myself.
