Skandal - Questions.

Skandal, or should I say Rewd Adams (no idea why he's changed name, or why he chose this one) never fails to impress, this is such a nice tune!

Baby Blue - Double Up

It's been a while since I've really checked up on what Baby Blue has been up to, I feel like an idiot now though....'cos this tune is HARD!
Nutty P seriously smacked the production of this, the drop at 1:57 is SHAKEYOURHAIRLIKECRAZY mad!



Blue's version of Cee-Lo's 'Fuck You' is pretty good too...checky check

Fire Inna Di Booth

You guys need to check this out, the guys pretty dope. If he gets enough views he'll win the chance to appear on Charlie Sloths 1xtra radio show, now that'll be a big look for the dude.

Take a few out from your busy ass schedules and peep the video. NICE HUAN!

Mad Sax Hype

Likkle 'It's Gutter' special for you lot, if this gets a good reception then free download a gwaaaaaaaan.

Lowkey Still Believes.

Lowkey smacks it all over again, this time with Akala and Black The Ripper on board too. Personally, I rate the verses in the order they appear on the track.

Magnetic Man

Here's the first single from Magnetic Man (Skream+Benga+Artwork), out on the 26th of this month, alongside remixes from Redlight & Digital Soundboy.



I've been hearing 'I Need Air' all over radio, it could well crossover.

Here's another track to whet your appetites.



Both these bangers will feature on their forthcoming album out sometime soonish, worth copping to support UK music.

Maxta And Kano - East London Is BACK.

Kano....spits GRIME? REALLY?

Chase & Status - New Single!!

Looks like C&S are sticking with their tried and tested formula.
This is a massive pop-step extravaganza, not that I'm saying I don't rate it though.

Let You Go features Mali and is out, obviously, on August 15th.

Here's to hoping for nice remixes!!

Lowkey vs Chipmunk: Shots Fired!

I'm not even gonna say anthing but quote some of the bars, for they do the talking.

"Silly-voiced pretty boy that shaves his eyebrows, the grime scenes very own Amy Winehouse"

"Gutless diva with a tough demeanor, how does it feel to be the UK's Justin Bieber?"

Lowkey vs Chipmunk

Chipmunk and Dot Rotton have been having words on Twitter, Lowkey came out and made a statement, things went on and...




Will Kizzy record some volcano-hot bars for Chippy? I very much hope so.

Whilst on the topic of Lowkey, here's a few new bits and bobs.

I'm So Heavy.

Dear Dizzee Rascal,

How about you make more music like 'Heavy'? Cos y'know it's actually GOOD. Even better than good actually, which is rather surprising to be honest with you 'cos everything you've made lately has been shitter than sewage. You used to be the boy in the corner, now you're the kid on the naughty step. Get your specs on and look sharp 'cos you need to fix up mate! Thanks in advance.

Pro Green - F64

One of the biggest F64's yet, easily.
That end line about mouthwash fucking did it for me!

Since we're on the Pro Green tip/ lemme help you all up onto Pro Green's dick...



Green's album drops sometime soonish, for now you can go pre-order the single, along with a few other goodies in the bundle for under £2.

Emotions.

I can't stop listening to this song lately, the vibe is so perfect, so summery.
Ty's new album 'Special Kind Of Fool' is out on the 19th of this month.
For more on Ty, check out his website.

Are You Ready?!

Rude Kid has an instrumental album coming out on May 10th, you lot should all go and buy it, that would be really swell.



Is this the first grime instrumental to ever have an official video? I can't think of another right now...

Pre-order the album now at the No Hats No Hoods online store, only £7, that's less than what it would cost for you and your girl to have a KFC box meal thingy.

I Need A Dollar.

Now this is some feed-good music right here. Some of you might recognize it from 'How To Make It In America', the show Kid Cudi stars in, made by the people behind Entourage.

Review: Jimmy Jitsu - The Lightbulb Revelations

Jimmy Jitsu, a member of the Peoples Army along with UK Hip-hop stalwarts Lowkey and Logic, has just dropped his first mixtape entitled ‘The Lightbulb Revelations’.
Like his peers Lowkey and Logic, Jitsu manages not to get caught up in ‘gun talk’ or the battle rap style lyrics that so many UK rappers are prone to, and makes sure all his songs have a strong concept, sometimes on a conscious tip. Still, you may be thinking this isn’t anything too groundbreaking in UK Hip Hop as there is a lot of quality out there if you know where to look, the difference with Jitsu is, he’s a mere seventeen years old.

Throughout the mixtape Jitsu shows a maturity beyond his years, with complex rhyme schemes on a wide variety of subjects ranging from graffiti on ‘Criminal Damage ft. Logic’ to a homeless alcoholic’s history on my own personal favourite ‘John Doe’.

Incidentally ‘John Doe’ is the track most likely to get Jitsu’s voice heard, over a minimal guitar-laden beat Jitsu tells the deep and dark story of John Doe. John Doe is an alcoholic who used to be “just an average guy” who used to “have a coffee” every morning. I won’t ruin the reason for his transformation for you but the inspired storytelling is a trait which he shares with hip-hop heavyweights and not many other seventeen year olds, this could really set him apart from the rest of the scene.

Jitsu's mentor, Logic, features heavily on the mixtape too, making appearances on four tracks. His deeper vocal tone contrasts well with the younger, passionate tone that Jitsu adopts. This makes for a very effective partnership, which, as exhibited sublimely in ‘Criminal Damage’, could be strong in further Peoples Army releases as well as other projects.

Overall Jitsu shows maturity beyond his years and a lot of promise on a strong debut that I highly recommend to anybody.
