'Even Out' is like nothing else you'll have heard so far this year, if ever, that is. Look at the picture. Lazy Habits, despite resembling an irish folk band with a basketball player, are more Hip Hop than a Flavor Flav clock.

Lazy Habits are a live band who count amongst their ranks a beatboxer, DJ, 2 MC's and a brass section. Now most heads right now will be thinking 'I know, they must be like The Roots'. Not so. Well, they are a live Hip Hop band but the comparisons begin and end there.

'Even Out' is a breezy, jaunty brass soaked jazz hand inducing trip inside the real story behind the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. MC Skin Horse weaves a sordid tale of infidelity, drug peddling and general waywardness that culminates in Jack's murder at the hands of Jill - but all in the lightest possible manner you must understand. Imagine, if you will, a more british Slick Rick rhyming over the Daptones and you'll have some idea of what to expect from 'Even Out'.

'Please People', their last single is worth a mention too. The horns are working on Mexican time here and most of the band take a back seat here whilst percussion carves a samba groove and DJ Itchi scratches. Lazy and Skin Horse rap in tune to the horn stabs and let loose with some wordplay type rhymes.

REVIEW FROM E – Festivals
Lazy Habits are the future. The more I see hip hop artists delving into using musicians to back them rather than a DJ and decks the more I think the more 'Live' feel of this presentation is a winner. With a brass section, bass player, drummer and decks providing the samples, the two rappers flow over repeated ‘loops’ of live performance. The overall sound they achieve is awesome! This is the future of hip hop as it stomps all over MC/Decks pairings providing a more versatile sound.

They do it really well too, the main MC Lazy Habits and the Beatboxer drop some amazing beats and lyrical content. With fast flowing effect and then up comes the rhythm and the horns to give it some extra bounce. Old school musical hip hop given a new energy.

The Human Beatbox (Wandan) shows his skills in a couple of heavy duty solos, so deep he must smoke a 100 a day! Then back to more tight funky instrumentation with lyrics whipped out over the top. They showcase some of their new stuff and ‘Memory Banks’ is the highlight of their set. Inner-city tales to a killer beat, next time someone mentions hip hop drop this lots name as a must see.
