Kid CuDi - Soundtrack 2 My Life [Video]


I read somewhere that this song was a good representation of the album, can't really argue with that statement. One of my favourite cuts from the album and was on heavy rotation on my iPod when the album dropped.

Man on the Moon: End of Days is Out Now from Amazon, HMV, and 7Digital.

B.o.B. - The Adventures of Bobby Ray [Artwork] + Nothin' On You [Remix]


Very much like this album sleeve and I'm extremely happy this album is seeing the light of day.

This is my most anticipated album of the year so far and with the quailty of previous mixtapes it is hard not to see why. The lead single from the album just got a verse from Big Boi on the remix.

B.o.B. feat. Bruno Mars and Big Boi - 'Nothin' On You (Remix)'

Here is the original single's video, which has been out for a little while.

Nicely made promo and an excellent lead single.

The Adventures of Bobby Ray is out April 27th on Atlantic Records/Warner Music.

Pre-order from Amazon now.

dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip - Get Better [Video] & The Logic of Chance [Album]


For some reason I didn't get onto this track for a while, no idea why because 'Get Better' is brilliant. It has been playing non-stop from my spotify, throughout the week at work and I would even dare to suggest it is their best song.



I think we need more tracks like this.

Also look for the nice Jakwob remix on iTunes, Spotify and, just spotted, on his Myspace, bundled with the single. Very much looking forward for this album release on the back of the single. From what i've read the indie sounds from 'Angels' are gone and in are dan le sac's electronic influenced productions, which sounds like a good thing to me.

Expect something unique.

The Logic of Chance is out March 15th on Sunday Best available digitally via iTunes and physically via HMV.

More info at lasacvspip.co.uk

You can now stream the album from we7.com

Twizzle vs. GreenMoney - Skydiving [Video]

Out Now from iTunes.

GoldieLocks - Green Eyes [Prod. by Benga] & I'm Not Her [EP]


GoldieLocks posted on her twitter page earlier today a youtube link for her track, with dubstep producer Benga, 'Green Eyes'. I've been meaning to blog about her EP, since I downloaded it, so this gives me an excuse to now...



I find this track hypnotic.

I was listening to it on the tube and the beats along with the vocals together had me in a daze. Arguably the stand out track of her EP, which seems to me as a progression from her earlier work.

The production is improved, with more interesting styles ranging from dark grimey beats to chilled out dubstep and electro, with a mixture of R&B on top and the song writing seems to have more purpose to each track.

Very nice effort... looking forward to the forthcoming Remix EP I have only just read about and if I have any time at all this weekend I'm going to have a go at remixing 'Addict'. Get the acapella here if you also fancy a go.

I'm Not Her [EP] is now out from iTunes, Amazon and GoldieLocks World on Gut Instinct Records.

Cold Sweat [Produced by Synth Girl, co-written by Goldielocks & Synth Girl]

Drake - Over [First Single From 'Thank Me Later']


Akala - XXL [Video]



Akala has to be in my top 3 list of all UK MC's.

He kills this at about 2:35, a lot of other MC's are not on his level.

XXL, out April 19th, is taken from Akala's third album 'Doublethink' out in the spring on Illastate Records.

Professor Green - I Need You Tonight [Video]


Been following Green since the rap battles and the early days of the beats, it's great to see him come out with a great track (assisted by a neat sample). It's already been picked up by radio and I can see this going into the charts well.

Pro Green finally releases his major label debut single 'I Need You Tonight' on April 12th with Virgin Records.

Fabolous feat. Nicki Minaj - For The Money


Can't believe this is mixtape track, sounds like a single to me. I meight have to download the mixtape now.

Another good feature from Nicki to add to the growing list.
