I knew he had an album on the way - didn't realise he was on the Radio1 playlist though. (Was it the 'session in the nations' where they split off into N.Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England though? - I could belive that)

The albums called 'I Bless the day I found you' and its out on Boobytrap on Monday 5th Sept apparently - surely he'll be doing a gig around that time (I know he does a free gig in town every day I suppose).

And I'm pretty sure he goes by the name Nin-Jah.

Yeah it was the session in the nations thing, bit of weird tune, just a basic beat whilst he was doing this mad rhyme over it, fair play to the guy though, i'll probably buy his album purely out of curiosity!

Today's South Wales Echo (July 30) have devoted nearly a full page (p 5 in the listings pullout) to Ninjah and his new record. The headline is: Yes, it is the bin basher from Cardiff... and now he's got an album out!

Got the track by listening again to Bethan and Huw.

It's quite a good vocal, let down by the lamest of beats - I reckon we grab the album and remix it Urban style.

I;ve snatched an Mp3 of it (On my other comp) which I'll upload over the weekend.

Ninja is releasing an album!!!

iirc he used to be an mc for Mickey Finn in London but that may well be an urban myth. He's certainly entertained Cardiff folk for a long time :)

Ninjah update via Cardiff underground

Ninjah Day
SAT 1 OCT is, apparently, NINJAH DAY! To honour the occasion Boobytrap Records are putting on a parade around Cardiff City Centre, with the great man at the front of a procession which will also feature some of his beloved Cymru Girls and a brass band performing some of his music... The parade will weave to the Capsule garden where there will be an album playback and the Booby bosses will deliver a speech on the pivotal role Ninjah plays in our great capital. To be a part of this auspicious occasion download your invite here and get yourself down to Virgin Megastore on Queen St at 2PM next Saturday...

saw him punishing a bin this morning :D bemusing a fair few grannies

A feature on HTV news tonight , interviewing him at his 'pulpit of rhythm', in full Tutenkahumn/DAme Edna gear ( as in the photo above ).
The interviewer asked for tips, apparently according to NInja ( PBUH )your right hand is your father and your left is your mother and together....

spoke to him yesterday (interrupting his bun pounding) to enquire whether it was coming out on vinyl
might be a few copies and a possible dnb promo of one of the tracks and he told me to get on to boobytrap.
what's all this bout him being canadian :confused: sounded a bit brummie to me.

then i slipped over on a wet cardboard box outside where subways is, went flying, cut my knuckles, smashed a bottle of soy sauce over my other shopping and bag, ripped the corner of a record bag and found the edges of 2 tunes shattered when i got home :mad: :(
went into the shops nearby asking if it was their box and one admitted it but reckons biffa or cleanaway should've cleaned it up the night before. i am mightily pissed off and want to rant at someone...
council or private company? someone could have really had a bad injury.
not out of order to want some compo for the tunes and soy sauce is it? :mad:
