The rapper has now been asked to perform at this year’s T in the Park in Glasgow, along side Jay-Z, Eminem, Dizzee Rascal and Chipmunk. For those who aren’t so familiar with South London rapper […]

British actor Idris Elba has been out there promoting his musical endeavours for sometime now, but this is the first time I’ve actually bothered to listen to one of his tracks, and I’m now wishing I hadn’t bothered clicking on the play button. Idris should stick to what he is good at – ACTING!!! I am guessing that he surrounds himself with a bunch of sycophant ‘yes men” because Hold On is hilariously bad. And can somebody please tell me when Idris […]
The MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) Awards will soon be upon us (yippee!) and this year the ceremony will take place in Liverpool on the 20th October. Will the ‘safe’ Sean Paul take home the Best Reggae Artist Award AGAIN??? Will Justin Bieber win the Best International Male Artist award??? Will LADY GAGA win the Best International Female Artist award??? ( Note: she was nominated last year) Or will they just hand those awards over to the usual suspects… brand Beyonce and Lucifer? Anyway, Mobo founder Kanya King was recently interviewed with singer Leona Lewis, and is behaving like she popped a few happy pills beforehand (seriously […]
[Thanks Yinka] On Monday night Channel 4 aired the first episode of N-Dubz’s new documentary Being.. N-Dubz. Rapper Lethal B who claims the group stole a track from him, was featured on the documentary arguing with group member Dappy at a ‘celebrity’ football match. Lethal, who we must remember is a GROWN MAN, has now taken it upon himself to set the record straight about the incident and gives Grime Daily “the real story”. *HUGE SIGH* Beyond juvenile. EMBARRASSING. This is just […]
So Solid star Mega Man sat down and shared his views on today’s UK “Urban” music scene and it’s artists. Via Brown Eyez Mega made some pretty good points. And I will always respect what So Solid achieved all those years ago. I’m only sorry it didn’t last. However is the track playing in the background going to be Mega’s new single? If so then… NO COMMENT!
Rapper Ice Cream, her sister Mafiella and the 1UP Army are back with the new track Sky’s The Limit. When I first came across these ladies several months ago at over at Brown Eyez , I was left speechless. The gun talk, the tights, the leotard.. it was all too much. Ice Cream and Mafiella just sound like they want to war with anyone who crosses their path, especially Mafiella. But give me them any day over that ridiculousness across the pond […]
The BBC News website reports that Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy aka Puffy aka Puff aka P Diddy aka Diddy aka Papa Diddy Pop, has expressed admiration for today’s ‘UK Hip Hop scene’. The star believes that British Hip Hop is “on the verge of breaking into the US charts”, and added, “I’ve always been abreast and respected the UK Hip-Hop scene and I look forward to great things,” (saying this in a broad Jamaican accent) – STOP LIE!!!!! But I would love to know the names of […]
New group Frixion have teamed up with FDM (aka Fun*dmental) on their debut single Afraid. I really like this song and it’s good to see FDM back on the scene. It’s strange this is Frixion’s debut single but FDM almost steal the show. But the groups do sound good together and I think Afraid will go on to become a hit single. Release Date: July 26th Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
UK artist Orie has just released the videos to his singles Zonin and Fly With Me. Check it out below. The intro goes on for too long and the vocals sound slightly off-key and shaky, but perhaps this was done deliberately for effect??? However this is the type of dance track that will probably get some air play in other parts of Europe. The video – I don’t really understand it, but that’s one interesting looking blond chick. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss? Your […]
