Celebrate Livin' Proof's 5th Birthday With A Mixtape!

Livin' Proof, aka. London's number one hip-hop night aka. the love-child of DJ Rags, DJ Snips, DJ Khalil and Budgie aka. my preferred night to fist-pump and chug beers at, celebrated their fifth birthday at XOYO this weekend. What was once a tiny club night has this year come into its own and been able to throw its balls around, after bringing A$AP Rocky over for his first ever show, and of course doing the same with the inimitable Danny Brown in Noisey's 24 Hours With Danny Brown.

Obviously, I'm going to be bias, so there's not much point in me writing some shit about how Saturday night was TOTALLY AMAZING AND OMG DID THEY SLAY THAT CROWD, without being met with lots of eye-rolling and "welp, of course you're going to say that". But…it was TOTALLY AMAZING AND OMG DID THEY SLAY THAT CROWD!

If you don't believe me, here's a taster of what you missed out on, with the crowd losing their shit to Kendrick (obvs.)

FIVE MORE YEARS! FIVE MORE YEARS! Anyway, while you lick your "how the fuck did I miss out" wounds, you can console yourself with the guys' very own birthday mixtape they gave to us. I thought I was supposed to give you guys a gift. Whutevs, enjoy!
