A pixie's everyday writing adventures
Charlie Sloth moves from the booth to the streets in his new freestyle series and it’s only right that he gets one of rap’s most respected, Colours Miyagi, to spit some flames. Colours is working on an EP Sunshine & Rain so watch out for that new material soon.
English Frank drops the visual to hard hitting track Dance With The Devil from his forthcoming project Frankenstein which is due to be released 24th March.
DVS releases another video off his London Boy American Dreaming mixtape. For Different he is joined by Sneakbo and G Frsh as they each provide stellar verses.
Cashtastic‘s Alarm Clock EP is released today on iTunes and he got Stylo G to join him for the official remix of In The Party, a cut taken from the project to give it some dancehall vibes.
Ghetts unleashes his lead single Rebel a rock influenced track from his highly anticipated album Rebel with a Cause out March 9th. The album promises to be something special with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.
UK hip hop at it’s finest from the Triple Darkness collective. Watch their new video Reanimation.
South London’s Peak is warming us up for the release of his forthcoming EP Life’s Peak which will be out on 4th March via iTunes. He drops the video to About That Life which is the first track to be heard from the project giving us with some hard hitting, truthful, street bars.
DVS recently released his London Boy American Dreaming mixtape which got high up in the UK charts and really proved DVS’ status. He releases visuals to The Intro from the tape for our viewing pleasure…
Cashtastic is one of the hardest working rappers in the UK, never releasing track upon track for the sake of it – he seems to have a plan. He recorded his first song at the age of 10 and now is only in his early 20’s. I have a feeling the ‘Alarm Clock’ EP (released Feb 9) is just going to warm us up for the release of his debut album. ‘Red Handed’ is the first release to be heard from the EP and really shows off Cash’s skills as a lyricist and artist.
Yungen turned 22 on February 1 and to celebrate he released a video for his fans, reversing roles and giving them a present! ’22 (Cake)’ produced by ADP is a fun track which sees Yungen partying with his boys in a flat and just enjoying life. I hope he got what he wished for on his birthday. ‘All I want for my birthday is some cake, cake, cake…’
South-East London rapper Benjamin A.D is one that I was surprised at myself for not paying enough attention to, as he definitely deserves it. ‘No More Drama’ is the opening track off his ‘Acknowledgments’ EP, which hears him talk about wanting a stress free life. The C-Major produced track is different; not a straight hip-hop beat, but flits into dubstep.
Another South London rapper is also back with his first track of the year. Joe Grind released a lyric video for song ‘Speaking English’ – this track will be on his forthcoming EP ‘Episode 3: Better Late Than Never’.
One of my favourite tracks off the ‘Class 90’ album is ‘Tell Em’ which sees Big Shizz and Kay Wills from the Rascals being joined by one of North London’s finest, Squeeks, along with vocals from Goldie 1 and Big Swingz. This collaboration has really worked so well together and for me will remain a classic – check out the video HERE.
