Lethal Dialect: LD50 Part 2 (Album Preview)
Dublin rapper, Lethal Dialect is wasting no time and gearing up for the release of LD50 Part 2 in 2012. The first album was released earlier this year and I had the pleasure of having Lethal Dialect and his collaborator Costello in for a live session in February DCUfm when Culture Cafe lived there. Awesome session, must put it online. LD is again working with G.I. and Jonnyboy and has guests Costello, Mouse, Tommy Hand and Wila Lee on the album. Absolutely loved the first album, going on this preview, the second one looks to shine as bright.
