Plucks Gutter is a small hamlet in Kent, where the Little Stour and Great Stour rivers meet. During the Middle Ages, the two rivers met the Wantsum Channel at Stourmouth, but the combined rivers now (called the River Stour downstream from Plucks Gutter) flow onward to the sea via Sandwich to Pegwell Bay near Ramsgate, leaving Plucks Gutter some six miles in a straight line and ten by river from the English Channel.
This was navigable by large vessels to Canterbury until the 1600s, but a series of events caused the two mile wide channel here to silt up, and this is what is left
The hamlet is named after a Dutch Drainage Engineer called Ploeg, whose grave can be seen in All Saints Church, West Stourmouth. Ploeg being the Dutch for a plough, the hamlet almost certainly takes its origins from the Dutch Protestant tradition of draining marshland by creating a ploughed ditch. No doubt, the Dutchman was named after his craft.
History
Just a mile upstream from the Dog and Duck Inn[1] Plucks Gutter is 'Blood Point', the scene of King Alfred's famous defeat of a Viking invasion force and often taken to be the Royal Navy's first successful engagement of an enemy. In 1821-23, a notorious North Kent Gang of smugglers made use of Pluck's Gutter. One account from a Revenue Customs Officer recalls how they travelled some fourteen miles, on foot, through Trenleypark Wood to Stodmarsh, Then via Grove Corner to Pluck's Gutter where they crossed the river by the ferry and onward northeast to Mount Pleasant near Acol then up to Marsh Bay – the former name for what is modern-day Westgate-on-Sea

Practically a regular here on Frostclick, Wordsmith returns with a brand new Mixtape, Prelude To the King. True to form, the album is a great display of smooth beats, catchy rhythm, as well as awesome mic skills from Word and crew.
There's really no need to argue whether this mixtape is worth your time. Pretty much anything Wordsmith has released has always held the bar high enough to warrant a listen and eventually a download.
Prelude To The King is no different of course, marching in with 15 tracks that bob and sway with beats worthy of welcoming any hip hop royalty.
As expected the rapper/producer doesn't hold back when it comes to bringing in the cavalry to complete his mix. Featuring contributions from talented producers like Strada and Rafpak as well as other artists like Soulstice, CuzOh!Black, and Steven Drakes to name a few.
The album starts off with a short introductory track titled The Ghost of Wordsmith's Past which is than cleverly followed by The Ghost of Wordsmith's Present and The Ghost of Wordsmith's Future, turning everything you hear into one coherent experience. Moving along, like much of Word's songs, Define Me Classic, does not stop at catchy beats but also display narrative lyrics that share the rapper's definition of his sound.
Certain tracks see the rapper in his comfort zone, take, 8 Track Zoom, for instance. Produced by Strada, the song has a smooth feel which is peppered by skillful rapping from the MC. The song denounces using gadgets/software like ProTools, to enhance sound. Meanwhile, A Hero's Welcome, is quite heartfelt while Southern Symphony, features a more smooth dance, R&B flavor.
Much of the album is composed of easy-listening hip hop cuts; making it another worthwhile download from Wordsmith. Go ahead and grab it while it's hot. It shouldn't disappoint.
