Back in the winter of 2007, cousins Alex O Brian and Miguel Ahumada got together to form the bi-lingual rap group know as Lineage, Chop Shop regular Justin O Donell a.k.a. DJ Jus-Me added his turnrablist skills to the group earlier this year. For the past year and a bit the guys have been working very hard on there debut album De Aqui y De Alla / From Here & From There, drawing their influences for acts sush as Portishead, Pink Floyd and The Wu Tang, coupled with a vast array of international guests from places like Spain, France, Poland, the U.K. and the States. This long player promise to at least deliever one of the most diverse and more interesting albums to come out of the Irish Hip Hop scene in some time. With no official release date for the album yet, the guys insure me that it WILL be out before christmas and will be available through iTunes online store,  truetalent.ie, and through there myspace.

April 8th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Podcasts and written by Jay Ru

Here we go again ya’ll, Justin or should I say DJ Jus Me is back with another installment, this time out Jus provides us with some nice mellow vibes made up of soul and funk and jazz. And if thats not enough for ya the Cork native also sticks on a lil sampler from the lineage album that the lads are trying to finish. The tracks are works in progress, still adding this and that and they haven’t been mastered yet but it’ll give you some idea of what the albums about.

Cousins Alex O’Brien and Miguel Ahumada, formed Lineage in 2006. Miguel has been rapping and producing for about ten years, he used to rap with Spanish hip hop crew LRS Chicos de la Calle. Alex started off as a hard house dj, he even had a residency at Pacha in Spain. A few years ago he started to explore other genres of music, mainly hip hop, and dude hasn’t looked back. Jus joined the group as a DJ late last year. Miguel holds down most of the production on the album, with Alex helping out from time to time. The lads had a lot of outside help on the album, from session musicians to rappers including, Maverick Sabre, Cain(France) Kenneth Cobwood(usa). The album is due in the coming months, check the Myspace for updates. www.myspace.com/thelineagekrew
