This time round we've got a collaboration of two of the finest minds in UK Hip Hop today...
Asaviour aka Savvy and former Junior DMC champ DJ IQ.

A few months back they created the incredible A Loop Theory. Too many albums these days are classed as groundbreaking but this has the right to be tagged with this title. Combining Hip Hop, broken beat, jazz and anything else they could throw in the pot this is dope project all round.

As ever, Basement Sessions were hot on the trail, and managed to track down the duo for a great interview!

Definately check it out, and be sure to spread the word. In the meantime check out Asaviour's label Saving Grace:
