Guess who forgot to review the one thing I’ve been rinsing on my I-pod all summer so far!? If you’re not already in-the-loop, we’re here to inform you that Jon Phonics has returned for round two of the Half Past Calm mixtape series!

It was 10 years ago that the YNR label burst onto the UK scene with some of the freshest hip hop English ears had ever heard, in the form of Jehst's "Premonitions" EP.
And they kept bringing the goods after that, again and again and again, with a roster that featured some of the finest emcees & producers in the country: Evil Ed, Tommy Evans, Lewis Parker, Cee Why...
Now to celebrate their first decade, the Young n' Restless are descending on the Jazz Cafe to give us a showcase of the sort of hip hop that has made them a force to be reckoned with. 
Anyone been checking the Hip Hop Hype Dog blog recently? For the past ... 
Next Friday September 25th, Jehst returns to the Jazz Café with resident DJ’s Sarah Love ... 
It was only in March that YNR brought us the massive debut album from Jyager, "Encrypted Scriptures", but apparently that wasn't enough. Now they have got all the whole camp together for a compilation to end all compilations. Exaggeration? Maybe. But this is the illest this year, most definitely.
YNR Productions houses some of the best emcees this country has to offer and they all get to put their two pence worth in on this album - Mystro, Jehst, Kyza, Jack Flash, Verb T, Micall Parknsun... and they're all on point, all bringing new material which is gratefully received with open ears. 
Fresh from touring Australia after the release of the Mengi Bus Mixtape, one of the UK's favourite rappers, Jehst, took some time out to chat to Style43 about his collaborations, production, and plans for the future..
