The Scribes x Risk 1
The Journey EP
A 4 track hip hop odyssey metaphorically exploring one man’s voyage of self rediscovery after the ending of a long term relationship. An intimate allegory told across 4 tracks, The Scribes’ frontman Ill Literate weighs in with emotionally heavy bars that recount the tale of a survivor of a tragic shipwreck.
Red raw raps poignantly paint pictures of stormy seas, scorching desert islands and verdant forests, each playing their part in a narrative that stretches across the entire release before culminating in a blissful and heart felt moment of catharsis.

The Scribes x J.Boom
Stir Crazy/Haunted House Party (Single)
“Stir Crazy”, a collaboration between Finland's own boom bap beatsmith extraordinaire J-Boom and South West UK hip hop crew The Scribes. "Stir Crazy" showcases J-Boom's trademark MPC production at it's effortless finest, pairing a haunting piano loop with hard hitting drums to create a moody, atmospheric soundscape fitting for these strange times. The incisive vocals, provided by The Scribes alongside dark alter-ego Mr Teatime, talk candidly about the feelings of isolation and helplessness brought on by the various lockdowns of 2020, documenting the artists creation of an imaginary friend who goes on to take over his mind.

The Scribes
Quill Equipped Villainy (Album)
Packed with incredible features from Akil the MC (Jurassic 5), Leon Rhymes (Too Many T's) Truemendous (High Focus), Blacksmith (AFT Raps), Goose (In The Balance Records), Bodega Brovas and Phil Jeong.
"Superior tunes, stand out rhymes and beats that
get inside your whole body. The Scribes are classy, polished exponents of hip hop. And with all that quality they still carry an underground feel. Plus they add that extra element of South West-iness. Quill Equipped Villainy is genre-busting album, put it on your playlist for some devilish enjoyment."

A Story About How (Album)
"The album fuses hip hop with beat laden rock riffs, swirling strings , pounding dub step in an array of melodic organised chaos. Clever and well produced with its politically and socially fueled lyrics. It is sharply rhythmic and it has an angst driven angry tone delivered in a sometimes tongue in cheek attitude. It makes for a fascinating listen." - Purezine

Ill Literate
Ill Literature (Album)
This release from alternative hip-hop outfit The Scribes together with a host of collaborators and guests offers a bass-driven but subtle sound together with a collection of surprisingly melodic takes on urban themes and, well, whatever was on their mind at the time. This is hip-hop with feeling, not the empty material obsessions of the predictable kind of hip-hoppery that descends into self-parody.
