“Two of the UK’s heaviest spitters” Hip-Hop Connection
 ‘Breathe’ SINGLE OF THE MONTH - IDJ
“I love it!” Big Ted (Kiss 100)

Two of the most distinctive, colourful characters in the British music scene today, FOREIGN BEGGARS affiliates SKREIN and Dr Syntax deliver their brilliant new album just in time for Santa’s bulging sack.

Far from the emphasizing the comedic, playful individual persona’s of the duo, Scene Stealers sees Skrein and Doc Synners getting retrospective on deliciously smooth, boom-bap laced soundscapes provided by NUTTY P, KELAKOVSKI, CHEMO and DJ SNIPS among others. The STIG OF THE DUMP featuring ‘Express Train’ recounts the lads efforts to escape the smoke laden pit for some fresh air, as ‘Venus’ tells tales of that one devilish sket that most encounter in their lifetime, with DUBBLEDGE lending a storming 16.

Hints of the pair’s energetic live shows shine through too – galactically big tracks such as the FARMA G (TASKFORCE), VERB T and DJ SKULLY featuring ‘Mine For The Taking’ and the album’s title track show just how ill these two can get over production by DAG NABBIT (FOREIGN BEGGARS).

The album also includes the summery hit single ‘Breathe’, and it’s b-side ‘Reach’ (also on the AdULTHOOD soundtrack) both receiving airplay on RAS KWAME, DYNAMITE MC (KISS 100), BIG TED and SHORTEE BLITZ (KISS 100), and FRICTION (BBC ASIAN NETWORK) and gaining outstanding reviews in PLAN B, IDJ (SINGLE OF THE MONTH), ECHOES, HIP-HOP CONNECTION and more.

This is some straight up unadulterated, high quality hip-hop. Banging production, impeccable flow and heartfelt lyrics make Scene Stealers one of 2008’s albums of the year.
