Up and coming film Southside is described as being “a fantasy “Urban” thriller”. So from the looks of the trailer we have another UK “URBAN” film which depicts gangs, guns, bloodshed, chaos, and of course features a predominately black cast.

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?
