"The people's republic of West Yorkshire has not figured strongly on rap's radar, but Practical Headz, three Huddersfield hip hoppers who take as much pride in their real accents as Mike Skinner does in his adopted Cockney, are ready to right this considerable wrong. Crucially, the music - from Stop The Diction's sci-fi scowl to The Get The F**k Out's synth bass bounce - its the raps' equal." MOJO (UK)

These guys are great. 'Get the F***k Out' should be the next single. Really good. (Daddy G 'Massive Attack - Various/ Worldwide)

'Top Trumps in every sense of the phrase' DMC Update (UK)

'Straight up electro heavy hardcore peppered with relishably regional rudeness' Undercover (UK)

âGutsy British hip hop from Huddersfield that retains a gritty urban reality to its tough tales and rudery, accompanied by tight production and a sprinkling of dark humourâ - Beathut (UK)

âIts refreshing to witness a hip hop crew making moves outside London and the trioâs distinct twangs nicely spice up the British rap gameâ - Fmagazine (UK)

'A four piece rap group coming at you straight outta Huddersfield, Practical Headz spit their foulmouthed lyrics in a surprisingly affecting Yorkshire-via-the-West Indies patois, and prove that good British "urban" music doesn't necessarily just originate within the M25. Grim housing-estate narratives jostle with cheeky battle rhymes, smart similes and puerile teenage smut, all delivered with an unaffected insouciance that's hard to dislike. Grubby electro and grinding hardcore club beats provide the bedrock for an attention- seeking but accomplished debut' The Independent On Sunday magazine (UK)

Huddersfield's finest crew Practical Headz comprises of verbal assassin Spida Lee, Bishop, Fingaz and the Practical Hand. This impressive debut album features 'Reality' with thugged up mid 90s flava co production from the Beat Butcha and backing vocals from a local tramp who popped into the studio to ask for some special brew, Other bangers include 'Get The F**k Out' with some humorous lyrics from Spida Lee about suspicious odours and not being able to get into clubs. On 'Throw Ya Handz Up' the Headz collaborate with Tony Bear on some intense up tempo chopped up production while 'Stop The Diction' witnesses the Bishop rock over a dark synthed up beat. The release is solid, there's bair more goodness coming from them so they're definitely peeps to check for in the future.
