UK BLACK MUSIC ACTS: UNSIGNED UK HYPE!
My regular readers will already know that I dutifully showcase UK talent on Mad News (UK Black Music – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly). But the majority of UK talent featured so far has been of the worst kind, and ultimately end up in my Ugly file.

UK ARTIST: MARSHA AMBROSIUS INTERVIEW

Anyway in this interview, the former Floetry star talks about working with Nas and Dre Dre.

FLASHBACK: 80S UK BLACK BRITISH MUSIC – ‘IMAGINATION’
Several weeks ago I posted a selection of music videos featuring 80s black British acts, but forgot to include these guys…. Imagination were brilliant lol. They were theatrical and oh so camp! Loved them! ‘Body Talk’ (Circa 1981) ‘Just An Illusion’ (Circa 1982) I wonder where they are now?
