Album Notes

The JVF Clique are the next phase in raw UK beats and sharp lyrics mutating into the mainstream. The Clique drop their debut LP "Alternative Income". The heavy 14 track explosion is guaranteed to make waves in an already talent filled music industry that demands the highest of standards in production, concept, writing and live performance. The Clique hail from the East Midlands and consist of emcees Chief and Nipper and DJ/producer Pappa Doc.

The JVF Clique's urban credentials go back as far as the mid 90's with a regular drum and bass show on the prestigious Mix FM until the stations demise in 2001, then 2 hip hop flavoured EP's, "The Embryo"(2003) and "First Born"(2005) released and distributed by themselves. The JVF Clique have also appeared on numerous compilations and mixtapes.

Alternative Income has been described by leading tabloid music journalist Kim Dawson (Daily Star) as "A fresh new sound with a solid kick" and by respected UK Hip Hop DJ, Disorda (suspect-packages) as "True school beats and rhymes dealt with in a proper manner"

The JVF Clique deliver an album that does not rely on guest emcees and "featured" producers to widen the impact of the release as they bring a tightly rapped, highly polished product to the table as only a tight knitted clique can deliver. Alternative Income is an exciting and original debut from one of the UK's most highly tipped acts.

A must have release for every beat and rhyme connoisseur
