UK MUSIC/VIDEO: SHORTMAN – ‘A MAN WHO DRAWS SOUND’

September 7, 2008

UK TALENT: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE DAMN RIGHT UGLY Check out the music video and track, ‘A Man Who Draws Sound’ from London based spoken word artist shortMan. ‘A Man Who Draws Sound’ is a well produced track, and shortMan is a talanted artist, but admittedly I got lost listening to this track. I have trouble grasping what he is talking about, and I am still struggling to make sense of it all. Your thoughts please…..

UK MUSIC/VIDEO: KANO – ‘HUSTLER’

September 7, 2008

When I first heard Kano perform this track at the 02 Wireless Festival back in July, I thought to myself, now he has to release this as a single. I love it. As some of you already know I’m not the biggest UK Hip Hop/Grime fan, but there are a few artists here that I have time for, and Kano is definitely one of them. [Thanks for sending link Versetti] Your thoughts please…..

VIDEO: JUELZ SANTANA PARTYING WITH “PROMOTERS” IN LONDON

September 5, 2008

After making their way down to Juelz’s hotel and causing a scene, London boy “promoters” and the rapper called a truce and partied it up in a London night club.  Apparently Juelz will team up with “promoter” boys and will return to these shores next year for a few live dates. If he has any sense he will tour the rest of the world and just bypass the UK. Too much aggro, too many foolish people here, who don’t know how to act. And any way chances are the authorities will ensure […]
