Genesis Elijah Joins The UK Hip-Hop Elite To Celebrate Black History Month

Unity is rare in UK Hip-Hop and positivity is even more scarce so it's big look when some of the biggest names in the scene get together to push a positive message. 'This Is Black History' features activist Jody McIntyre, MC's Logic, Big Ben, Jaja Soze, bigCAKES, Genesis Elijah, MC D, Cerose, Big Frizzle, Wordplay, Haze, USG, Rodney P and Akala. The track was produced by Last Resort and video was filmed by Global Faction. Please share and enjoy...

*NEW VIDEO* Genesis Elijah 'Falling' feat James Blake

OK so YouTube f*cked us over but Vimeo came to save the day. This is Genesis Elijah's reworking of James Blake's already amazing song The Wilhelm Scream. After putting it out on SoundCloud last month and seeing the overwhelming reception of his version Genesis decided to give it a visual and put it up for free download. Of course we wont get the kind of views we'd normally get on YouTube because of the limiting format but that's cool with us. Please watch it, download it, share it...

Genesis Elijah Cancels Huddersfield Performance

I know it's short notice but I will NOT be performing at The Flow in Huddersfield as I had planned to tonight. I can assure you that I'm just as pissed off and disappointed as you and I sincerely apologise to everyone who planned to come and support me as well at the promoters.

I've never cancelled a show ever in all the time I've been doing shows but this one is really out of my hands. My driver cancelled last minute so my girlfriend agreed to step in and we had planned to let my mum look after our daughters. That would of been cool but my eldest daughter started throwing up last night and had to be taken in to hospital to be checked up on after she developed a fever. She's fine but it wouldn't be fair to let my mum look after her tonight so obviously that means my girlfriend (who was going to drive me) will have to watch her.

I'm gonna talk to the promoters to see if we can reschedule and I'll keep you all posted.

As far as tonight goes the rest of the acts SONNYJIM/ J-SIMPLE/ GEN UCHIHA/CHIEF WIGZ will all be there and you know they're going to tear it up. Please go and show your support so we can continue to build the Hip-Hop scene in Huddersfield

Sometimes real life gets in the way of what you want life to be...

Sincere apologies

Raiders Of The Lost iPod Volume 1 Released

Over a year after Genesis Elijah first put out the idea of putting out all his old unheard, unfinished and unmixed tracks the Raiders Of The Lost iPod is finally here! While Genesis Elijah was AWOL 2006-2009 apparently he was still recording tracks but they just weren't being released. He touched on the subject on his track 'Keep Going' off the 'Before I Was Famous' album saying "Every time I went to make a tune, the producers I was working with didn't wanna produce/ so many tracks stuck on hard drives never used" and I'm gueesing he wasn't exaggeration because rumour has it that he's dug up 60 of these tracks and will be giving them away to the fans of his music.

So here's the first instalment. I have to say it's a shame some of these tracks are only seeing the light of day now because they are FIRE!. Stand out tracks being Liar Liar, As Real As It Gets and The Way We Are.

Anyway check it out and hear some of the best Genesis Elijah tracks never heard...

So last night the world of urban music was whipped in to a frenzy when some of the most influential people in the industry sat down to discuss who they thought were the best MC's of 2010. Opinions got shared, feelings got hurt, twitter went nuts and Ghetts went wild. Here's Genesis Elijah's view on the issue.
