Dine On Grime / Munch on music
All my features, reviews, opinion pieces, and artist profiles in one place (the punctuation isn't perfect but the passion is!)
Every now and then you hear a good piece of pure pop that makes you feel refreshed and puts a spring in your step with its uplifting vibe and that is exactly what producer spookzville has achieved on the instrumental of this spring fresh single by Dice recording artists’ Ohema X and Big Nastier....
and finally on the 22nd February 2019 the wait was over. Ms. Roses’ Gabor’s debut album ‘Fantasy & Facts’ is here, and it is a mass of floating clouds made of candy floss drifting under edible skittles flavoured rainbows, floating towards a faraway never-never land where sunflowers sing and birds beautify you upon arrival with crowns made of ivory entwined with bluebells. ‘Fantasy & Facts’ really does play like the dream you never want to awake from.,,,
Dean "Pupps" Brown is a 24 year old English rapper, songwriter and performer from Bow, East London. Having had a tough upbringing; with no contact with his Father until his later years, Pupps used music as a means of escape, developing a talent for songwriting and performing in the process. Having spent most of his time on the streets of East London, Pupps started to write about his observations and life experiences, giving a unique insight into what it really means to grow up in today's East London. ..
In keeping with D Double's’ expert comedic timing, his debut album 'Jackuum' opens with D Double E being interviewed by a posh middle class elderly lady at 'Jackuum FM.' The ‘interviewer’ approaches dizzying levels of delirium at the mere presence of D double E in the studio! As its D Double E voicing the character it makes it twice as hilarious when the character states in a Hyacinth Bouquet plummy accent, "Oh my GOSH, this is ridiculous. I'm ACTUALLY blushing", after D double’ delivers a BLUKU! at her request...
Ghetts had decided to drag the subject of colourism to the surface, between the cracks appearing within our race and the music industry. It was always going to take a fearless artist to tackle the formerly hidden issue of colourism, someone who was capable of viewing the world from differing perspectives and could deliver the message in a sensitive way. It was going to take someone ahead of his time, who was a “A Shepherd not a sheep” (as Ghetts told us, on the 2014 track ‘Man like me’) ...
Chrom3, who is a two-time collaborator of Dizzee Rascal, most notably on the no.1 smash ‘Holiday’; comes with a timely track addressing the rising levels of knife crime in London and throughout the UK. (Manchester is still reeling of a report this week, of a 20 year old woman fleeing the 5 star Hilton hotel with a 3… Continue reading Chrom3 *NEW VIDEO* ‘Pride’
Following the release of 2014 debut EP ‘The War’, Wolverhampton MC, Akesman, bursts though the sonic landscapes to crash land in Grime's murky stratosphere with his hectic 7 track EP, 'Sick wid it.' The EP is filled to the brim with bombastic B-lines, beast man bars coupled with dynamic flows over 140 bpm riddims...
Madders Tiff seems to be bouncin’ from block to block of late, the London Grime MC has been busy spittin her no nonsense bars at Reprezent FM, Mode FM, was interviewed on Rinse FM as part of Girls of Grime female takeover set and also performed at their female takeover event in Dalston on June 17th. There’s no denying her work rate is a madness and luckily for us she shows no signs of slowing down....
Prez T's second offering is packed full of darkly dangerous beats and tense rhythms giving this body of work a distinctly ominous feel, further amplified by the most identifiable voice in the Grime scene. (Giggs takes that title over the way, in the UK rap world) My highlight of 'A stranger returns' is not in fact a full track but a skit entitled "You're taking the p! ss"...
Ms. Banks shows her versatility, when she sings sweetly on the bittersweet R&B ballad ‘Over (Your shit)’ about a guy she gave her time to and she’s now had enough of his games asking him “How many bitches do you need?” listening to this I couldn’t help but think it’s possible that Nicki Minaj sees her own skills reflected in Ms. Banks
