Coming Soon

This is gonna be big:

Something To Bring To Your Attention

Nuff Sed + D.I.V

Im a keen supporter of artists that are relitivly unknown. I feel its important to give people the break they deserve cos really and truly it only takes that one break to open a door and get that snowball effect to make an artist big.

anyway here is something from a relativly unknown duo in terms of the uk scene. They hail from the home of hip hop that is NY City. Going by the name of Nuf Sed and D.I.V these too work well together. The lyrics are raw, the concepts are big and the wordplay is of the highest caliber.

These two were solo artists before combining which means they have crafted their individual trade before smashing it together. the chemistry they bring as a duo is evident.

SO O.D. The Overdose Vol. 1 is presented, mixed, and hosted by DJ Kool Kid, The Hood Legend. Already they getting the support they need

Re-Post Of My New En

Im re-posting this tune because the numbers and the response have been really good. It seems people are right into this tune which makes me real happy. Its nice to know that a straight vocal with no adlibs or hook laid down on a nice beat is what people want to hear. I got a feeling UK Rap is coming through big again this year. Anyway please listen and share with anyone you can.

Not Like You

I personally think we need more music like this. Its a big tune. some honest real rap. The youtube numbers have been incredible and the video is all filmed in one take.

basically its big.

Giggs Norwich Show Cancelled!

The Norwich show of the Giggs tour has unfortunatly been cancelled. This has been blamed on the police warning the venue of potential trouble and in turn the venue cancelled the show. I think this has also happened in Glasgow and Nottingham.

A Real Good Reds Interview

Here is an interview with Reds (Chronicredeye). Well worth a read

Release Dates

Im a keen believer in buying music. This includes singles particulaly when i feel that it could help push artists from our scene into the limelight. for that reason i have decided to update with some release dates of some big UK singles dropping over the next two months. These are singles i think could perhaps do well in the chart with enough support, or just singles that i think the artist deserves a bit of support cos they just do. Ill also put a rating of how likely i think it is to break into the top ten. Anyway here is the list:



21st February - Giggs - Dont Go There - I got a real big feeling about this track. Its been getting a bit of radio support on the big stations like radio 1 and i hear a lot of people saying they feel this tune that aint nescessarily fans of UK Rap. If this does well it will be a big look for UK Rap music.

TOP TEN CHANCE - 75%



21st February - JME FT Wiley - Sidetracked - More of a commercial vibe than JME normally comes with but still relevent with the bars. Im a fan of this tune myself. I always find myself singing it in my head. Im not sure this will have enough support to make the chart but im a big fan of JME and i think he does music the way it should be done, and for that reason im in.

TOP TEN CHANCE - 20%



28th February - Wiley FT Emile Sande - Never Be Your Woman - Im a big fan of Wiley and out of every UK artist i really feel he deserves a number 1. He has been influential to so many people and rarely makes a bad tune. He is older than a lot of MCs and really i think he deserves to do well commercially. I got a feeling this will be a good year for Wiley. Would be nice to start with a number 1.

TOP TEN CHANCE - 60%




March 1st - Tinie Tempah - Pass Out - This tune is getting rinsed. Proper rinsed. Radio 1 are all over it. I hear bare people talking bout it that aint into Grime/UK Rap. I have heard numerous remixes. Basically this tune smashes it and im fairly confident it will do well. Especially if everyone who rates it buys it.

TOP TEN CHANCE - 80%




March 9th - Skepta - Badboy - Skepta is similar to Wiley in that he is looking for that mainstream hit. He did come with 'Rolex Sweep' which in my opinion did perhaps more harm than good as i had people thinking this was all Skepta done and didnt realise he made hard grime tunes. Anyway i think Skepta could do with a hit to bring him into the commercial limelight more. This is because i think its important for our big MCs to get more status. This in turn makes more people intrested in real grime/UK rap and then makes the scene bigger and on a bigger scale. Buy this wen it comes out

TOP TEN CHANCE - 60%



Go buy them and support UK Music. its the only way the scene will grow.
