UK MUSIC: IDRIS ELBA – ‘HOLD ON’

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 []

VIDEO: DRAKE PERFORMS ‘FIND YOUR LOVE’ ON THE JAY LENO SHOW

Check out singer/rapper Drake’s live performance on The Jay Leno Show. Studio technology really does do a fantastic job of fooling people. This live performance is proof that ‘golden boy’ Drake is OVER-RATED. His live vocals are appalling. Flat and out of tune. He is probably a really nice guy but that was piss poor! To the UK fans who have purchased tickets to see Drake perform live in London next month….. have fun! [Thanks Kaydine]

UK MUSIC SCENE ANTICS: LETHAL B RESPONDS TO N-DUBZ DOCUMENTARY

[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 []

UK MUSIC: SO SOLID STAR MEGA MAN DISSECTS THE UK “URBAN” MUSIC SCENE

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!

UK MUSIC: 1UP EMPIRE (ICE CREAM, MAFIELLA, SKRILLZ) – SKY’S THE LIMIT

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 []

UK MUSIC: FRIXION FEATURING FDM – ‘AFRAID’

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?
