Video: Walter Ego Feat. Trim – Set Off
Sheffield producer Walter Ego drops this eski grime sounding beat for Trim to vocal in the way he does best! Loving the Gameboy/Super Mario samples in the beat too!
VIDEO: ORANGE HILL - PON TIME FT. VYBZ KARTEL PT.1
Following on from their massive debut club smash 'Wine de Best' which featured Busy Signal, Fatman Scoop & Kano, Orange Hill Productions return with their new single, this time collaborating with dancehall don Vybz Kartel.
With early support from top tastemaker DJs like Robbo Ranx, Toddla T, Mistajam and the Heatwave, this one is tipped to continue Ras Kwame and Jnr. Tubby's [aka Orange Hill] injection of electrobashment to the club scene worldwide.
Look out for Part 2 of the movie featuring Sneakbo on the video REMIX!

29 July 2012
Video: Dot Rotten interview with Blaze TV
The man himself chats to Blaze TV about a bunch of matters... the camera quality may not be best but Dot really opens up and breaks it down about a bag of different subjects...
Video: Rick Ross - Hold Me Back
Video: Trozion Freestyle for Rep Vdo
Dope bars with an original flow from the up and coming MC we've been supporting for a few years... Trozion's really showing his levels here!
Video: Etta Bond - Boring Bitches ft. Lady Leshurr
One of the most original and entertaining tracks I've heard in a long time, as the UK singer (who you may recognize from the Wretch 32 song 'Forgiveness') comes with this amusing track that mashes up hip hop, dubstep, glitch and Chelsea girls! Leshurr drops some fire at the end to give this track that 'reload-is-a-must' feel!
28 July 2012
Audio: 50 Cent - New Day ft Dr Dre & Alicia Keys
Brand new one from 50's forthcoming album 'Street King Immortal' which is out this autumn... This was produced by Dr Dre and mixed by Eminem.. seems like this is a kind of make or break track for 50 to make his return to the big time, as his quality control has been a bit slipping recently!
27 July 2012
Video: Baby Blue - Target
Dope new video from one of the UK's most consistent rappers, as she drops this Nutty P produced single which is due to drop 20 Aug. Great melodies to top this one off!

Electro/2-step rapping duo 'Man Like Me' explain how, in this stage of their career which one of them describes as "make or break" they can make use of their Samsung devices to squeeze out the most of their potential as artists, in this crowded circus that we love to call the music industry...
This is part of Samsung Galaxy Note’s current campaign #BreakFree which showcases how creative types can help run their chaotic lifestyles…

VIDEO: C4 - RAVE!
The Birmingham grime MC who is on the rapid come up drops this fun new joint... don't expect any political commentary or advice for success in life, just straight reload bars over Preditah's sick instrumental!
Twitter.com/C4_OoRITE
I caught an interview with C4 a few months back, and he actually spat some crazy bars over the same instrumental, take a look...

Audio: 2 Chainz – ‘Birthday Song’ (Feat. Kanye West)
The Atlanta rapper, who's taking the scene by storm in the lead up to his Def Jam debut album drops this, which is the follow up to the Drake collab 'No Lie', and in my opinion EASILY out does it... However don't expect Lupe Fiasco to be bumping this, he recently spoke out about how he wasn't feeliing it!
Straight female focus on Tity Boi's birthday wish list, and if the album continues at this rate, 'Based On A T.R.U. Story' is bound to be straight PIFF!
Video: Bartoven - Ouch
Brand new video from one of the most progressive lyrical emcees emerging in the UK scene at the moment. South London's Bartoven unleashes the first video from his latest mixtape 'The Raggedy Tape' and speaks the truth about some of his experiences in the music industry and life as an inner city kid growing up.
You can purchase the Raggedy Tape HERE, along with the Raggedy tape T-Shirts and Jumpers coming to bartoven.co.uk in early August.
