UK MUSIC: D DOUBLE E FT DIZZEE RASCAL – BLUKU BLUKU

I don’t know how I feel about this track. But it is different and for once Dizzee isn’t spitting over a Techno/Dance beat. That’s a nice change for him. As for D Double E… I don’t know what to think…. Haha. What does Bluku Bluku mean? Your thoughts please? Hit or Miss?

MUSIC INDUSTRY SKULL DUGGERY: JIMMY IOVINE, EMINEM, SKEPTA AND DMCA (DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT) ABUSE

Last week I posted the news that UK artist Skepta’s new single Dare To Dream had been removed from YouTube and passed on to golden boy Eminem by Interscope Records founder Jimmy Iovine (Click HERE to read all about it). And since then it’s been revealed just how this all went down. Website Torrent Freak writes, After “Dare to Dream” was put up on YouTube one of its early listeners was Jimmy Iovine, founder of Interscope records. Recognizing quality, Iovine had plans []

VIDEO: HARVEY & MISTA BROWN FT GYPTIAN “HOT GYAL” OFFICIAL VIDEO

………………. MC Harvey and Mista Brown have teamed up with Reggae star Gyptian on the new single Hot Gyal. I don’t think this collaboration works. Mista Brown and Harvey don’t really bring that much to the track. They just look and sound like your average run of the mill UK rapper in 2011 – dull!  Gyptian without a doubt steals the show here. I would even go as far as saying that the single should just feature Gyptian.   The video – It looks like it was filmed in []

UK MUSIC: EAST LONDON’S FINEST – ROB DEM (HIT OR MISS?)

Yesterday morning I came across “up and coming” UK artist Rob Dem via Twitter and judging by our rather brief conversation the man clearly has issues. I responded to a tweet that somebody sent directly to me, and then up popped “singer” Rob Dem aka @BowEThree with this random remark, @BowEThree: @emilyyheartbeat ignor @madnewsblog she just wants 2B famous! Look at her! Shes a ugly black fool! & When I see her on road its a problem! And then went on to abuse some of my other black female followers, calling them “fat []

UK MUSIC NEWS: SKEPTA HANDS OVER NEW SINGLE TO EMINEM

Several days ago UK artist Skepta announced on Twitter that his new single Dare To Dream had been passed on to Eminem. Just got a f*%king CRAZY email. I don't know if I should be angry or privileged. This explains why the f*%k YouTube took 'Dare To Dream' off — SKEPTA (@Skepta) July 14, 2011 Jimmy Iovine Interscope heard my new single 'Dare To Dream' and decided he wanted to sign it for Eminem hence Universal takin it off YouTube — SKEPTA []

UK MUSIC: BABY BLUE – ‘PLAY’

Rapper Baby Blue is back with the single Play. ………………………………………….. Baby Blue has taken it back to the late 80s Hip Hop era with this video, and the single has a slight old school feel to it also. Play is well produced and you can tell that some thought went in to the making of the single (i.e. It doesn’t sound like it was all put together in five minutes).  It’s not bad. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC: WRETCH 32 FT JOSH KUMRA – ‘DON’T GO’

People seem to be losing their minds over Wretch 32 and his new single Don’t Go featuring singer Josh Kumra.  I just listened to it for the first time today and it will probably do well in the charts.  This is a “love rap/song” and Wretch looks all “sad” and “vulnerable” in the video (fantastic acting), so this should melt the hearts of all the teenage girls out there. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss? ………………………………………………………….. Check out Wretch’s interview with Huey Morgan from the group []
