A pixie's everyday writing adventures
Angel is killing the UK R&B scene and its good to have him back with some new material especially a nice track for the summer. Run This features Sneakbo and looks like its set in a Ibiza villa. This is the first record to be heard from Angel’s EP Possession With Intent which will be released Sep 29th.
Sneakbo is known for his party tunes and this one is no different as he introduces us to the summer with new track Holiday featuring STP’s Timbo. This is set to be a massive hit especially in the clubs and airwaves all over Europe.
I first heard this track on 1Xtra and loved it instantly, a club banger by German producers Tujamo and Plastik Funk. The addition of Sneakbo’s vocal over the funky, crowd-rousing beat, ‘Who’ has been upgraded to Dr Who.
Sneakbo and Stickz hook up for a collaborative track, sending out a message to anyone that disrespects them or their friends. Watch Disrespecting below…
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.
A track that crosses genres and now features hard bars from Sneakbo who can jump on pretty much any track and kill it, the track has now been signed to 3 Beat Recordings. Dr. Who is produced by Tujamo & Plastik Funk and you’ve probably heard the track in clubs this summer and now you’ll be hearing it more!
It was only right for another Play Dirty member to do a remix of Don’t Waste My Time. Yungen is joined by Play Hard’s Sneakbo for this one which sees them both going in hard.
This is a mixtape that a lot of people have been waiting for and it sounds like London Boy American Dreaming is going to be worth the wait. DVS releases the tracklisting with some big features including Ard Adz, Sho Shallow, Sneakbo, Youngs Teflon, Wretch 32, Young Spray, Krept & Konan, Squeeks, Joe Black, G Frsh, J Spades, Margs, Syikes and more. With DVS being one of the best the UK has to offer and with these colloborations also including the most highly rated rappers this is definitely going to be a mixtape not to miss out on. He has confirmed it will be dropping on 13th January which is 2 days after my birthday so looks like I’ll be getting a late present 😉
Last week I attended Lil Nasty’s ‘Nasty Piece Of Work’ EP launch at Silk Club in Camden. The EP itself will be available to buy on iTunes on December 16. Lil Nasty, Flirta D and Jammer performed for us on the night.
On the subject of grime last week saw a few of the Lord Of The Mics hype sessions being released including the ‘headline’ clash between Lil Nasty and Maxsta. We also saw Grimmy and Grim Sickers, D2 and Eyez, Proton and Realz, Lil Choppa and Zeo’s hype sessions. More should be dropping next week.
Two of the finest South London rising rappers Dru Blu and Fekky came together for a collaboration on Dru Blu’s recent album ‘Double Or Nothing’. Last week they released the video to this banger which sees Dru delivering some of his hardest bars and Fekky’s classic ad libs.
I talked about the release of Murda’s mixtape ‘A Brick From The Block’ a few weeks ago so if you missed that and want to see what he’s about go and get that now. Last week he also dropped a video from the tape titled ‘Murda’ where he talks through his experiences for this street track.
Next up we have more artists from South London, an area that’s always been strong in the UK rap game. Brixton’s DVS, Syikes and Naja (Mr Sozah) headed down to Westwood’s crib to showcase some new fiery hot bars for this outstanding freestyle.
More fire from Brixton this one called the ‘A Town Line Up’ and sees C1z (A Money and Lil Trev), Sneakbo, Lil Shak, Ribbz, Mr Sozah, Crazy, Feel Fr33 and more. The ten minute track sees them all spitting some hardcore bars on this ten minute long track. Make sure you go and check out this talent from Angel Town.
Musically he’s been quiet for a little while now not having released any tracks of his own. Last week Ex from USG took to Twitter to release two unheard tracks on his Soundcloud ‘Stack It To The Loft’ and ‘Wonderin’. We will probably see these two tracks on his forthcoming mixtape ‘The Ex Files’ which should be out this month.
Sneakbo is back with another banger, dropping the video to Her Name with L Marshall providing an awesome hook. This afro beats infused track is produced by Ill Blu and is set to be another club/radio smash.
