hit or miss?

UK MUSIC: JSB – IT’S YOU

Drake was the man who first came to mind when I first played track.  For a split second I actually thought that was him singing the hook. JSB is a new rapper hailing from East London, and his new single It’s You has that cross over appeal, but it sounds really familiar. However I can see the 14-16 year old female demographic really embracing this track. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC: SKEPTA FT PREEYA KALIDAS – CROSS MY HEART”

Grime MC Skepta is back with the new single Cross My Heart, featuring former Eastenders star Preeya Kalidas. Preeya left Eastenders earlier this year to pursue a career in music, but has allegedly already been dropped from her label (that was a surprise). Cross My Heart is a track that BBC Radio 1 will rinse to death during the day and Tim ‘big dawg’ Westwood will probably play it on his BBC rap show, because Tim has suddenly turned in to a []

UK MUSIC: MZ BRATT – SELECTA

Well… Mz Bratt’s Jafaken accent is interesting….. But surprisingly I don’t hate the this track… it’s catchy, it’s a grower,  and has the potential to become a hit single. Selecta also takes me back to the mid 1990s when Jungle music was all the rage. The video – I have a headache now. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

NEW MUSIC: JUSTIN BEIBER FT KANYE WEST AND RAEKWON – RUNAWAY LOVE (REMIX)

When I first heard about this collaboration (Kanye’s idea) I looked at a picture of Raekwon taken during the glorious Wu-Tang era and sighed. Die hard Raekwon / Wu-Tang fans must all be looking up to the sky and shaking their heads in despair. Check out some of the comments below posted on The Smoking Section website. Raekwon’s verse was actually dope…why are you giving him all the sh*t? If anyone should be getting smacked it’s Kanye. WHY IS KANYE MOLESTING MY CHILDHOOD!? I can understand why Bieber wanted []

UK MUSIC: TALEY RILEY – HUMANOID

First of all let me thank Social Writers Blog for bringing singer/songwriter Taley Riley to my attention, who apparently co-wrote Chipmunk’s number 1 classic Oopsy Daisy. Humanoid is Taley’s debut single and I’m sorry but Taley is just a Taio Cruz clone. His image.. his sound.. that’s Taio! But the track is kind of catchy. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

NEW MUSIC: KANYE WEST FT JAY-Z, RICK ROSS, BON IVER, CHARLIE WILSON AND NICKI MINAJ – MONSTER

First off I have no idea who Bon Iver is and secondly why does  Nicki insist on rapping with a ‘Jamaican’ accent? Just leave it alone Nicki.  Stop making a mockery out of the Jamaican accent. The delusional keep saying  “Nicki killed it” on Monster. Erm.. no she didn’t! She sounds like she should be locked up in a padded cell. The woman sounds demented. As for the track.. well its nothing to write home about. It’s just a bunch of artists []

UK MUSIC: SWAY FT AKON – JUST A MATTER OF TIME

UK rapper Sway is back with the single Just A Matter O f Time featuring Akon. Okay so I know Sway has never rapped in an American accent, but why does he sound a bit like Young Jeezy on this track? And when did he start mimicking his flow? Other than that I quite like Just A Matter Of Time. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
