UPDATE 26.3.10
The Furious 5 have facebooked.
Effective Immediately The Furious 5 and Kurtis Blow have ended thier relationship with Shuriken Media and Uma Gally. Miss Gally has been relieved of all duties due to Inexperience, misappropriating funds maintaining a hostile business enviorment as well as decieitful tactics that only led to confusion and friction among our peers. In 30 years of touring individually and collectively we have never expierienced such an unprofessional relationship such as this. So in the midst of these irreconcilable differences Uma Gally and or Shuriken Media have been relieved of all duties.

Hmm… Rahiem of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5? Yes. The waters murk further…
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
An over-used headline to be sure, but hella apt. 
Remaining neutral here: disappointed fans, disappointed band, they certainly are FURIOUS – I can’t quite spot where the injustice has been done yet, but from what I can tell the F5 and Kurtis Blow were not getting paid, something to do with tax and promoters, and they’ve now split with Shuriken Media who were representing them ‘exclusively’ in the UK. The spat has been made overtly public and currently sees both British supporters of the crew, the 5 and Blow themselves, and Shuriken in a massive mud-slinging match over tax.
Here’s the event’s wall, out of interest.
Comment below if you have a comment to make… Seems similar to what happened with Musiq over in Manchester back on Valentine’s…

A five way phone conversation to preview the upcoming UK tour… as Unity Radio, home of Groovement, is based in Manchester we’re focusing on the Mint Lounge show **23rd September 2009 folks** – I’ll be hooking up with the Five and Blow in physical form upon landing, but for now we shoot the shizzle about the tour, truths and more.

Tunes:
The funk version of the message was premiered on Groovement way back in December 2007: a limited 45 by Mighty Mo and the Winchester 7. Kenny Dope heard the track and remixed it for his Kay Dee label, revealing the true artistes behind the tune: the Mocambo Allstars.
Danny Drive Thru manned the decks for the show and it’s his rework of the Message you can hear at the end of the interview. Check out his other work, innit.
