A pixie's everyday writing adventures
Manchester based lyricist Rio is joined by singer/songwriter L Marshall for his new track Hideout produced by Rymez who is behind a few hit records. These three combined make an interesting but good track.
P Money went on air on 1Xtra with Charlie Sloth to drop an exclusive Fire In The Booth freestyle. The OGz member who will be on Lord Of The Mics 6 spit some fire bars aimed at his competitor Big H over beats from Swifta Beater and Preditah.
After the successful release of What You Got, Negash Ali is now ready to introduce Fire In The Sky which is the lead single off his upcoming EP The African Dream out Feb 17th. Fire In The Sky is produced by Focus and features singer/songwriter Siff.
Peckham rapper Snap Capone releases a video for Ganster’s Tale featuring Stigz taken from his 24-track mixtape The Memoir which was released in December 2013 which helped him gain more recognition. Watch out for more to come from him this year.
Manchester based rapper Geko from the USG collective releases the audio to a new track titled Mind Games, which he says was influenced by Mic Righteous’ The Pen. Two word, headphones, bed…
Dance duo Disclosure release the video to Grab Her with the track sampling J Dilla. The video is a funny one and sees an office with fish, dogs and more gravitating to the office ceiling and stationary having to be pinned to the desk. Disclosure are up for a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronica Album and 4 Brit Awards.
Krept & Konan recently flew to the New York to make some power moves, one of them being the first UK rappers to be on P.Diddy’s Revolt TV.
Revolt TV is the mogul’s TV network and features the biggest names in hip hop from Rick Ross to Ice Cube. For Krept & Konan to be on their is such a big move and really shows how these two are a force to be reckoned with.
They also met up with French Montana who was on their official remix to Don’t Waste My Time. We can only expect big things from the rap duo this year…I can’t wait.
Grime collective Rascals return this year with another video off the Class 90 Vol 1 album which dropped near the end of last year. Bigg Shizz, Tempz and Merkz are joined by East London and recent LOTM competitor Maxsta for Ain’t Involved.
I first heard this track being played on Mistjam’s shows on BBC Radio 1Xtra as he was heavily championing it. Memphis singer Lolo turned to Giggs to feature on her new soulful track Gangsters with Giggs giving it that edge that the track needs with 16 ad-libed fuelled bars. This is one for the ride or die females out there as Lolo and Giggs go all Bonnie & Clyde.
