UK rapper DJ Ironik will release his new track “Stay With Me” (Digital) June 16th and in stores June 30th. When I first heard this track on MTV Base I cringed. I thought his flow sounded awkward over the beat, the track sounded sappy and the speeded up/high pitched vocals sounded so dated in 08 – very Kanye 2003/2004. But after a few listens its kind of grown on me….. sort of…….. The Video: It’s nice to see that UK artists are finally digging deep in to their pockets and moving away […]

Rumour has it that rapper Kano has been dropped from his label 679 Records, which is part of the Warner Music Group…. Continue Reading (Thanks for the link Cleo C) Its probably true. His last album/singles didn’t do particulary well, so it was to be expected at the end of the day. Plus Warner Music isn’t in a good place right now. The label is losing money hand over fist. Those label executives don’t have a clue anymore….
“John calling me the next Amy; I’m not pleased about that. I understand what he is saying; like I am the next takeover artist from the UK but we have no other similarities.” (Estelle talks about John Legend likening her to Amy Winehouse) Estelle needs to give John Legend one bitch lick across the face! Estelle and Amy are two totally different types of artist. And I suppose he has it in his head now that Amy is some how the queen of British black Soul music. The saviour…. “I […]
