UK MUSIC: H-BOOGIE FT GET FAR – ‘THE RADIO’
Singer H-Boogie (rapper/singer Estelle’s younger sister) teams up with Italian DJ Get Far on her debut single The Radio. The Radio will be released on the 17th May via Island Records. H-Boogie recently collaborated with rapper Bashy on the single Your Wish Is My Command, and also appeared on T2’s Better Off As Friends. This track is suger sweet pop, mainstream and not my cup of tea. …… It will go a long way! Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss???
UK MUSIC: SELAH FT SADIE AMA & MS BRATZ – WOMAN’S WORLD
‘Woman’s World’ is produced by British producer DaVinche, and I was pleasantly surprised when I first heard the track. I really like it. Selah and Sadie impress but the track could have done without Ms Bratz. I don’t think it needed the rap. When will people realise that not every song out their needs to have a guest rapper? All in all though I give ‘Woman’s World’ the thumbs up! Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

People seem to be wetting themselves over his latest musical effort, when in fact the track is mediocre at best! I’m sorry but everytime I see Drake’s face I remember what the great Public Enemy taught me all those years ago…. “DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!”. Your thoughts please. Hit or miss?
