Eyez (@Eyez_Uk) – Hard To Get Over (Prod by. Zdot) [Music Video]

Eyez is one MC who I took notice of after being on Lord Of The Mics 5. From Bristol the MC dives into deep into his thoughts for his track Hard To Get Over as he talks about life in general with some deep, reflective opinions.

Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4Real) & Friends @ Wembley SSE (Hartbeat Weekend) [Review]

I ventured down to Wembley’s SSE Arena on Sunday to watch the magnificent American comedian Kevin Hart who was joined by some of his friends for the Hartbeat Weekend.

Kevin-Harts-HartBeat-Weekend

Let me explain briefly who Kevin Hart is for some of you that don’t know. Well he is a pretty big deal especially in the States and is now here too as the SSE was packed to the brim with fans and celebrities. He is not only a successful comedian but an actor too, appearing in ‘Little Fockers’, ‘Soul Plane’, ‘Paper Soldiers’ and more.

Out of Philadelphia like some of his comedy inspirations such as Dave Chappelle and Eddie Murphy, Harts’ stand up comedy is really worth watching as he talks about his life experiences and insecurities making it relevant to the listener also.

Harts’ friends included Hackney bred Kojo who was the only Brit on the bill, but for me was the best as I think everyone in the crowd understood his dry humor and it was literally non-stop laughs throughout. Rodney Perry was my second favourite one as he also drew on life experiences in particular his age and family. Deon Cole also had quite a dry humor, entering the stage dressed sort of cow-boy looking with a list of things of jokes he had to complete, ticking them off as he went along. The headliner was Donnell Rawlings from New York who also had people in stitches and brought a different energy to Wembley.

All in all every act brought something different to their performance, and no one was similar to the other, making it an absolutely fantastic night of comedy to remember.

Potter Payper (@ThePotterBk) – Bandoe / We Good

Potter Payper is one to watch out for. Seriously. He is one of the best lyricists around and this track Bandoe/We Good is just another example of how well the Essex rapper can put together a track and visuals to match. The track switches it up half way through from talking about trapping to a female vocalist and PP spitting about a relationship.

Scorcher (@ScorchersLife) – No One Else [Audio]

Scorcher shows a different side to him on new track No One Else with some real talk about making a relationship work which is rather refreshing to see from a British MC, as they often don’t talk about situations like this. Look out for his EP 1 Of 1 coming soon which this track will be on and a live show at the Jazz Cafe with full band and some special guests!

Wretch 32 premiered his brand new music video today via Digital Spy. 6 Words is produced by SOS and mixed by Wilkinson and sees Wretch singing, a departure from what we normally see from the Tottenham artist over a light Drum & Bass beat.

Clement Marfo (@ClementMarfo) – The Introduction [Audio]

Clement Marfo is back with some brand new sounds and has struck out on his own too as a solo artist, not with a band anymore. He has spent the last 12 months in the studio conditioning and nurturing his new sound for a brand new chapter. Break A Sweat and Glass Ceiling are the first two new tracks we have heard from him and their are evident old school Funk and Soul sounds, but still with Clement’s amazing energy.
