Terror Danjah - HardDrive Vol.2

This is bound to be one of the best producer led albums from the grime scene for 2009. Check the trailer for something to expect!

New Video: Charlie Sloth - One More Drink

Here's the video from Charlie Sloth for his new single, One More Drink which is a story of how a good night can turn sour when you drink too much... In case you're not aware of Charlie Sloth he's made his name primarily through a number of online webisodes about his life as an independent rapper trying to make it in the cut throat music industry... I have a feeling this one will do well with that Mike Skinner-esque vibe to it...

Griminal on Cheryl Cole remixed by Crazy Cousins

Wow. Didn't expect to hear this. Three huge names in the respective genres makes for an interesting remix... I had heard that Griminal, the prodigal son of East London's N.A.S.T.Y Crew had been signed, but if this is an official remix perhaps there are big things in store for the guy everyone says looks like TI.

Update on rapist Ribz' jail time

Earlier this year I posted a news story that also featured in both the grime scene and the mainstream media about Ribz' conviction of attempted rape of a girl at a train station (an indefinite sentence that he must serve at least 6 years...eh?!). Since then, it seems that Elias Kajue's not suffering as a lot of people would hope . The Sun yesterday published an update on the "sex fiend's" time inside saying he "spends hours messing about with his mates" (see a link there?___ pause)
With this type of publicity given to him how can The Sun justify their article, when it clearly doesn't discourage other's from commiting similar crimes.. ah, the hypocracy. Still it's not always bad press about grime music that the Sun publishes.. in all fairness how the hell are there 13 year old girls in places Doncaster and Glasgow screaming for Chipmunk?! Despite him being embraced in to the N Dub fanbase as what it seems like LL Cool J was to America in the late 80s he was recently considered amongst those you'd see on Lord of the Mics or a Rinse FM grime set.

Fiddy owns WSHH and Rick Ross differently

If 50 cent's approach to beef was described like an attack on someone, it'd be a swift lunge towards the stomach with a hunting knife followed by a strong twist and firm tear up to his neck. This time he's announcing the law suit he's bringing to WorldStarHipHop, the biggest hiphop site on the web (fact), who used his image at the header of their site a little while ago. This is no random act tho. Not only are they now a rival to ThisIs50.com (Curtis' social networking site) but he insists they took a cheque from Rick Ross to promote his shit (literally). The best thing about this latest venture is that you know 50's not doing this because he needs the money...

Bonus:
An underated track: 50 cent and Akon - I'll Still kill

Preview D'explicit's new album here!

For FREE. The Norwich originating producer, who, in case you didn't know produced Pow! (not Lethal B as some may think) is killing it in the grime and bassline scenes and has finally released his highly aniticpated album, Digi Kinesis. D'explicit is a truly original and creative producer who's worked with some of the UK's best artists, regularly collaborating with Black the Ripper. Check this out if you appreciate strong bassline (or niche as some call it) focussed music with synths and other drops that I didn't think could be made! Expect to hear more from this guy who I expect to be behind artists chart reaching songs in the near future hopefully with some exiciting new vocalists also.

Dead Prez at KoKo

Check these pics from an upcoming photography talent TomLRussell from the recent gig I went to in Camden Town where staunch black socialists and legends of the 'true school' hip hop scene performed their 1st major show in the UK, with support from an arguably more formidable act, Klashnekoff, repping Hackney. Hover over the right of the photo to move on to the next one..


Also check these vids from the heavy weight of the UK Hip hop video scene of 2009, DJ Gone.


While outside I also filmed a couple of MCs after the show...
First off, I was lucky enough to get some footage of Skandal, who's promoting his current CD mixed by DJ MK, called Hunger Pains

Also, check these guys repping W. London, some hot bars from the up and coming mcs known as BHM...

P money vs P money

Urban culture (Jeez I hate that term) magazine Rewind (or "Rwd") brought together the south London Grime artist P Money with the soulful hip hop producer P Money from New Zealand together and tried to get them to fight over the name. It ended up in a very British dignified discussion that ended in a manner that most disagreements should do...

Check it..http://www.rwdmag.com/music/grime-garage-bassline-and-dubstep/interviews/p-money-vs-p-money

In case you're unaware who either of these guys are this is a big tune from the UK artist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC6rXzp9X8w) and here's one from the Kiwi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axgkWd-dHu0). The latter had a big hit with this one, as you can probably understand from the difference in sounds!

TRYNA BE ME - TINCHY STRYDER FT. RUFF SQWAD

Off Tinchy's sophomore album Catch 22. I like the fact that Tinchy's got his original crew on his new album despite him blowing up in a major way. Big up!
