We continue our Halloween Music Video Countdown today with this novelty rap treat from Whodini , an early to mid-802s rap group from Brooklyn (before Brooklyn was overtaken by indie-rock hipsters). They had some hits back in the day with songs like "Friends," "The Freaks Come Out At Night," and "Five Minutes Of Funk." They also had a novelty song that made the Halloween mixtape rounds with "The Haunted House Of Rock," a synth-driven jam about a haunted house of rock where inside, there was "music bein' played by The Grateful Dead," and "Dracula was [...]

A weekly feature in which our writers share their favourite tracks of the week. Whodini - 'Friends' (chosen by Aoife Barry) Listen to Tyler the Creator and his bitch-smacking rhymes? No thanks. I'd rather keep it old skool and turn to a group like Whodini, who managed to write a completely inoffensive song about friendship – yes, friendship – and twist it into a super-sweet jam. It's the synths that make this track, and it might not come as a surprise to hear these guys once worked with Thomas Dolby (on 'Magic's Wand'). Contemporaries [...]

RIP Mr Magic
Sad to hear Mr.Magic died earlier this month of a heart attack. Magic found fame with his and Marley Marls 'Rap Attack Show' which debuted in New York City on WB LS in 1982 and was the first major station show to promote early hip hop. Jalil of Whodini explains the stroy behind the above track: 'Jive Records heard about Mr. Magic. He was the first DJ in the US playing hip-hop on the radio. They [...]

The up-and-coming artist seems to be everywhere nowadays - he's performed alongside heavyweights like Missy Elliot and M.I.A., he continually pops up on various mix tapes and podcasts and he appears on the intro teaser for Maryanne Hobb's BBC1 show. His latest single, Barely Evil, [...]
