1520 – Mosquito Fly & Starships (Album Snippets)

1520 pronounced Fifteen Twenty is a collaborative project from pioneer veteran M.C. Nomadic Poet founder of the Hip Hop crew The Planets, and producer maestro Drematic XL.
The name 1520 stems from the birthplace of Hip Hop 1520 Sedgewick Ave South Bronx. Drematic XL was a key dj on Itch FM London’s first 24 hour all Hip Hop pirate radio station in the early 2000’s going by the moniker dj Illout at the time. This is how the two initially first met and connected maintaining a mutual friendship and love for the culture.

The project is rooted in the original hip hop format of one DJ/Producer and one MC. Inspired by groups like Gang Starr and Eric B and Rakim.

The album Mosquito Fly and Starships is a soulful sonic rollercoaster ride infused with topical intricate thought provoking lyrics which are introspective social and spiritual at the same time.

Hip Hop wordsmiths such as Mr Voodoo (Natural Elements), Illogic, Juice, Vodka and others hop on the journey to add their unique twist to the audio adventure.

This is an exclusive limited pre-release with additional tracks included which will not appear on the general release dropping early 2020. Check out album snippets at www.1520music.co.uk. CDs are still available via Bandcamp.
