Dubstep Allstars Volume 3

Just Copped this. The Tracklisting is big, Kode9 got a big mix, only problem is Spaceape dont do it for me. Maybe its a grower but just aint feeling him on the whole mix.


Couple of tunes would have been enough

A good man.

Norwich - Squares - Tonight - Hustle & Flow

Yes People,

The night is called 'Hustle & flow'. It features the one and only DJ Hype with MC Skibadee.

Some real talent there as well in the way of DJ Scotty, DJ Perfection, MC Herbalist, MC Azza B, MC Bad Boy B and Redeye

Im gonna try my best to make it there. If i do ill give a write up

J2K - Wake Up

First i just want to start with a little fact. In terms of UK Grime J2K was the first man to put out a mixtape title 'Heat On The Streets'

Anyway with that aside i copped J2K's newest release an EP titled 'Wake Up'.




J2K has been doing a lot of promotion for it so i was eagerly waiting it. I wasn't disappointed.

this is a good all round release. the beats all suit J2k and feel like they was all made specifically for this project. they all have some similarity to them but also stand out if you know what i mean. the only other place i could see these beats working would be on a roll deep release.

Anyway basically what I'm trying to say is this has its own identity to it that makes it stands out from a lot of the current grime releases.

All the guests shine (Manga, Flowdan, Alex Mills, Jammer, Frisco and that fella from roll deep circles)

J2k is impressive. He made videos for a few of the tracks on it. 'Danger' being the lead single




For me the standout tracks are 'Danger', 'Talk Of The Town' featuring Jammer and Frisco, 'Things We Do' is probably my favourite which has a nice vocal hook from Alex Mills and the biggest beat on the CD.
'Vacation' is a nice tune too. A story type tune with a big beat. To be fair there isn't a track on here i ever feel to skip.

The only downside to the EP is i cant credit any producers because J didn't feel it necessary to credit anyone in the inlay.

Well done though J2K. You made a good CD there mate.

Go Cop It!

Random Bootlegging??

Found this site just now:

http://lavabeat.net/Album/2696571/Franko_Fraize_And_Lyrical_T/Something_In_The_Making_Ep/download-mp3/

Seems like some Americans have decided its ok to sell the EP 'Something In The Making' for a cheap price without any permission. All i can say is RANDOM. Suppose its good that its getting out to a new audience and all that. Would have been nice if they asked tho.

Pleaase support and buy your copy legitametly from

Norwich City V Thetford Town

Thetford town played a pre season friendly against League 1's Norwich City last night. Norwich have had a decent build up to the start of the new campaign. They recently got a 1-1 draw against Manchester United Youngers and a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Being quite a few leagues above thetford (at least about 8 i think) Norwich were ovbiously favourites. I was optamistic. Thetford started well but Norwich were just too good in the end. The game finished 4-1 to Norwich. Massive shout out to Dimple. Played well son.

UK Runnings Mixtape

Big Up Tricksta,

Got sent the link to this mixtape from Redeye. the mixtape is a free download hosted by Uk Runnings and Tricksta. M9 features quite heavily on this. M9 is a very good rapper. In terms on uk hip hop there isn't a great deal that exites me. The main stuff that does exite me is the gritty roar rap that reminds me of the Wu era. I feel M9 brings that too the table as does Triple Darkness, Scribblah, Klash and a few others. anyway here is a nice little offering from the UK Runnings team.

Have a butchers cos this one is heavy!

Little Dee feat Bare People - Walk The Walk

New little Dee tune featuring bare MCs. This one them super group type things where they get a load of MCs to kill of a tune. In my opinion this is massive. Brazen goes in big. definatly stands out. Maverick been someone i been feeling for a while too so good to see him pop up on here. Chipmunk shows up on the hook.

">

Not sure if its on Little Dee's new mixtape. He got 'Once In a Blue' dropping August 17th. Go cop it when it comes.

Newham Generals - Hard (Breakage Together)

Newham Generals have been one of my favourite crews for a while. They totally smashed up the Heavy Meckle CD. Go cop that if you aint already. Now only a duo - D Double is a legend in the game and Footsie is one my top 3 MCs. I could listen to him all day. Big producer too

Anyway here is a new tune by Newham Generals getting played all over Logan and Semtex. the tune is big. they vocalled the Dubstep Banger that is Together By Breakage:




This is a banger. Massive dubstep beat with two overly heavy MC's.

Its all you need in your life
