QUOTE OF THE DAY: ADELE
“I couldn’t believe Jay-Z knew my name. I fell to my knees crying.” [UK songstress Adele’s response upon hearing rapper Jay-Z was a fan.] Yeah alright Adele calm down luv. Shaun Carter aka Jay-Z is a former waste man from Marcy projects, Brooklyn NY who got lucky due to sudden tragic events in Hip Hop that shook the genre to it’s core, above average lyrical ability, top class producers and a strong team behind him. He is not The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
UK MUSIC: DOT ROTTON – NORMAL HUMAN BEING
The name ‘Dot Rotton’ always makes me chuckle. Anyway Normal Human Being is the new single from rapper Dot Cotton. Dot is a decent lyricist but he is in serious need of heavier and more polished production. The production on this track just sounds weak and empty. Sadly a lack of decent production still continues to let some generally talented UK acts down. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC: MR MITCHELL – OFF THE COATHANGER
London rapper MR Mitchell releases the music video for his first solo track ‘Off The Coathanger’, since parting ways from the duo, The Mitchell Brothers. This track is taken from his forthcoming EP ‘Irregular Beats and Art Attacks’, scheduled to be released this summer. When I first watched the opening of the video I thought Off The Coathanger was going to be a slow, depressing and dull typical UK Hip Hop track, but it’s uptempo. Off The Coathanger has that old skool […]

UK MUSIC: DELE – ‘F U RIGHT’
F U Right is taken from East-Londoner Dele’s EP Coming To Age. The track is steamy and seductive and gives us an insight in to what the 23-year-old singer is prepared to do to his girlfriend. Dele sounds a bit like R Kelly. This is the kind of track that Kelly would have released perhaps in the early noughties. I can really hear him singing this. But I really like this track and Dele is easy on the eye. Yep it definitely […]
