A pixie's everyday writing adventures
Ghetts releases the video to Party Animal featuring Kano and MYKL which sees him starting off in a bar just him and grandad, then sees Kano and lots of girls joining him. This track is one for the radio and will draw in new fans for Ghetts but may see his old ones not take to it.
I flew out to Ayia Napa in Cyprus on Monday afternoon for the Summer Love Festival presented by DJ Cameo. Held on Makronissos Beach on Tuesday, some of the biggest names in music performed including Tinie Tempah, G FrSH, Angel, Fekky, Dot Rotten, Scrufizzer and more. The festival was a great success and it’s always nice to attend one on the beach in the sun! I also hit the afterparty at Club Ice where Ms Dynamite performed…
Sneakbo has kept the visuals coming from his ‘Certified’ EP and yet again has come with a hard beat from Rvssian on ‘Trust Nobody’. He also proves why he is one of the finest rappers at the moment in the UK as he spits some honest and harsh truths.
Young Don released the first video to be taken from his forthcoming mixtape ‘The Weather Man 2’ over two weeks ago. The tape will be hosted by DJ Khaled who is quite a talked about man at the moment after his marriage proposal to Nicki Minaj. For this track Young Don is joined by rapper Smiler and singer Starboy Nathan in this classy visual where they are seen on a private jet sipping champagne for this nicely flowing track.
This week sees another remix of Migos’ ‘Versace’. This time it’s from a West London artist who is one to watch in the UK rap game. Shizzle shows why on this track reaffirming his status with clever wordplay and a relaxed flow.
Ghetts really shows a different side to him after his short hiatus from making music, slowing things down but still oozing passion for this spoken word introduction to his forthcoming project ‘Rebel With A Cause’. Mr J. Clarke takes us on a reflective journey of his life in this mature and poetical piece called ‘Definition Of A Rebel’.
Chip’s been floating around releasing a few freestyles and net video’s but nothing too serious. It’s good to hear he’s fully back on track and working on a new album in LA. Yesterday saw him put out the audio to new track ‘Holy Water’ which sees him looking back on his life, career and decisions he has made and also the future. His lyrical ability is as strong as ever in this track.
Ahead of their album release Evolution Theory on Monday, Modestep are giving away track Inside My Head for free which features Ghetts.
Squeeks and Ghetts jump on the remix of Maxsta‘s Pop Off which will also be on his forthcoming Gear 6 mixtape.
Scorcher hooks up with Mercston and Ghetts for his new track Bang.
Ghetts releases new visuals to a track which is taken off the soundtrack to new British film Victim.
Byron is joined by two of the UK Grime scene’s biggest stars, Dot Rotten & Ghetts on Secrets for his lead single taken from Deep Lyrics/Dirty Beats part 3. A stark warning about betrayal and deceit, all too familiar in 21st century suburban Britain.
Elro brings us a witty new verse for the remix of Real World, and is joined by Mikill Pane and Ghetts who deliver two massive punch-line packed verses over a dark rework from producer Show N Prove.
Devlin, one of the UK’s finest MC’s makes an eagerly anticipated return this year with the release of his new mixtape The Directors Cut. A lyrical prodigy, Devlin released his first mixtape at the age of 16, and continued to hone his skills within the Grime scene.
2011 was the year which saw his debut album with Island Records Bud, Sweat and Beers achieve GOLD selling status, a sold out UK tour and glowing press in the country’s mainstream titles. Devlin’s combined YouTube views have passed 20 million and his now iconic F64 for SBTV nears a staggering two million views.
As Devlin prepares for the October release of his second album A Moving Picture, The Directors Cut sees him team up with long-time collaborators Lewi White and Ghetts. Please see full track listing below.
Track listing:
1. The Journey
2. London City Part II

5. My Moving Picture

Next and last stop for us was the Jazz Café, where I went to see r&b singer Angel, again it was running behind time, but as we were staying there from now we didn’t care. Few drinks later and Angel appeared on stage, the mic was still a bit too low for the singer, but as only a singer like him can do, he still managed to wow and impress the crowd, with his songs like Ride Out, and also giving the audience a live session of his brand new single. If Angel before didn’t impress you before, you would be after seeing him live.
As the whole festival was running behind time, I didn’t get to see Sway, as I had to catch my last train home, and catch some sleep for Sunday’s Crawl which was disappointing. I did have a brilliant time, getting to see some amazing live acts though so I can’t complain. Sunday’s review coming soon!
