Whilst the original may not have appealed to you, this Grime remix should do. Talented vocalist A.L has called upon the Grime trio of Mercston, Stutta and Ghetts to help her out with the remix of Tell Me. Keeping with the original storyline each MC takes it in turn to spit about relationship problems and what they want from their relationship.

Locus Brothers - Creamy Tart (Instrumental) [Free Download]
The duo of producers known as the Locus Brothers have given away one of the beats for their latest EP. With the Tart EP out today, the boys gave away Creamy Tart a few days back. The whole six track instrumental release is based around different tart names. Orange Tart, Strawberry Tart and you'd have heard the DefDFires spit over Frosted Tart for their OUAG-TV freestyle here. Download Creamy Tart below for free and download the EP from iTunes here.
Lady Leshurr - Lego [Video]
Clocking up over 360k hits on her SB.TV F64 you can't deny Lady Leshurr doesn't have talent. The Birmingham based female artist is back with a bang. Her new video Lego was shot very professionally and creatively infact. The single is out on the 21st November.
Jareth Feat. Lioness - Pathway [Video]
Lioness has really been putting in the work recently. Whilst also promoting her mixtape Roarness and shooting videos for tracks from it, she's also getting the odd feature in too. Here's her latest with Jareth on Pathway. The female MC has also been performing a lot too. Hit the jump to catch her performing at Bigga Fish whilst the tour was in Birmingham.
Ghetts Feat. Nelly Furtado - Standing There [Audio]
On the 22nd May 2010 I blogged a uStream rip of this track under the title Try. Sampling Nelly Furtardo you can guess it won't be one of Ghetts' hype tracks such as Artillery. Now called Standing There it's a rare oppertunity to catch Ghetts talking about the problems between him and his girl.
Rival - OUAG-TV Freestyle [Video]
The latest OUAG-TV freestyle comes from Grind Game Ent's Rival. Shot at producers Morphus' studio Rivz spits over Knives and Forks. The Thomas Mellor production sees Rival flow over the beat with ease. Look out for Lord Rivz out on the 21st November.
Mr ShaoDow - Mind Your Business [Audio]
Mr ShaoDow is keeping his name in the loop with another new track today. A fortnight ago we heard Ignant from the one time Oxford based artist. Today he's back again with Mind Your Business. "I call you sweetcorn as you're up in my shit..."
Young Kye, Wiley & Manga - Shelldown Freestyle [Audio]
With Dot Rotten back in form today it seems Wiley is too. Will's verse on this Shelldown freestyle sees him spit a typical fast paced Grime flow. Manga's wordplay is as clever as per usual. Young Kye's hype right now is so high due to these constant quality freestyles he's been putting out.
Mix & Blend Footage [Video]
Despite the event getting shut down due to qualms between two MCs, as usual, over Twitter, the Mix & Blend event was going well until that point. Several long serving Grime MCs touched the mic with wheels flying everywhere. The Deja Vu camera caught Spooky's set with the likes of Dimples, Discarda and Big Narstie touching the mic on the night.
Dot Rotten - Positive Energy [Audio]
This is the sort of Grime we like from Dot Rotten. He has this sound locked down to a tee, he doesn't need that bait Hip-Hop music to chart. If marketed properly the mainstream will take notice of Dot's sound. The former OGz crew member also produced the beat for Positive Energy. This track is lifted from the album Voices In My Head.
Scrufizzer - Fizzy Flow (Live) [Video]
Earlier in the week we saw Remel London catch up with Scrufizzer at I Luv Live, today we've got some footage from his performance. It's only a short clip of Fizzy Flow though. Back with a house band as per usual at the show here's the Scrufizzer performing on the I Luv Live stage at XOYO.
Ghetts - Warm Up Session Freestyles (Grime x Rap) [Video]
Just like Blizzard done Ghetts has two Warm Up Sessions with SB.TV, Rap and Grime. This is Ghetts first time spitting infront of the SB.TV camera. His first freestyle was Grime with the production by Kid D. For me, it wasn't Ghetts' greatest freestyle he's ever done. His Rap one despite being short was the best out of the two for me personally. Catch the Rap freestyle after the jump.
Young Kye - Earthquake Remix (People I Know) [Audio]
I said to look out for more Young Kye audio, and here it is. Still with the remixes, this time Kye spits over Labrinth's new hit Earthquake. The original features Tinie Tempah, but there's no sign of the Frisky star during this track. Hopefully not every MC jumps on the track and ruins a good beat with their own version.
Tempa T Biggafish Performance [Video]
It seems Tempa T's hype has pretty much died. We've not heard anything fresh from him in a while. It'll also be hard to top Next Hype. The crowd doesn't even look that excited, it seems like forced jumping about. Just following what the person next to them is doing. Tempz needs to drop 2000 & Paxxx ASAP.
Ghetts It In Gang - Barbers x Cher Lloyd (Video Diary) [Video]
The latest Ghetts It In Gang sees Ghetts get ready for his video shoot for Dub on the Track. You can tell how far back in the year this was shot as it was the day Cesc Fabregas left Arsenal for Barcelona. As well as seeing behind the scenes of the shoot with Cher Lloyd, Dot Rotten and Mic Righteous, you'll also catch clips of new material from both Ghetts and Dot.
DefDFires - OUAG-TV Freestyle [Video]
You've already seen Bill Daggs tear down a solo OUAG-TV freestyle, now it's time for his crew DefDFires to join him. Also shot at the King Apparel HQ it's three of the four DefDFire crew members going back to back. Bill Daggs steps up first to spit over the Locus Brothers beat followed by Elian and Jazza. Operation: Zombie Nation out now. Buy here.
Dapz on the Map - Numb Freestyle [Video]
Dapz on the Map has been a little quiet recently, but his Numb freestyle throws him straight back into the limelight. The Birmingham based MC takes to a Dubstep beat and rips it apart. "I tell a man who wants to play games go get a console and play to your hearts content at home".
Black the Ripper - Fire In The Booth Freestyle [Video]
Keeping the standards extremely high as per usual it's Charlie Sloth's latest Fire in the Booth freestyle. Fresh off the back of the one take video for Do It Like Me, Black the Ripper jumps in the 1Xtra booth to set it alight lyrically.
Skepta @ O2 Academy Islington w/ Chipmunk & Frisco [Video]
Skepta has been touring the UK again, but there's been no decent footage. Thankfully Urban Flash was at the London show at the O2 Academy in Islington. Skeppy performed a few of his recent classics including Mike Lowery, plus he also performed his verse on N-Dubz track So Alive. BBK crew member Frisco joined him on stage as did fellow Tottenham representor Chipmunk.
Young Kye - Dreams Money Can Kill [Audio]
Young Kye's version actually dropped before Bashy's version, but for once I was sleeping on a track. Here's Young Kye's take on Drake's track Dreams Money Can Buy. The Luton based artist puts his own spin on the track in only the way he could. Kye takes you deep into his life with this one. A new track a day it seems from this up-and-coming artist. Look out for more very soon.
Bashy - Dreams Money Can Buy [Audio]
The original version by Drake has hit over fourteen million hits on YouTube, Bashy will be grateful to get fourteen thousand from his version. It's the last in the Wheel & Come Again due to Bashy's forthcoming project Crunchie coming out on the 2nd November.
Tinie Tempah After Party: Do NotDisturb [Event]
Tinie will finally be back in the UK after touring America for several months. Proud2 at the O2 Arena will host the party for the South Londoner. Many names will be joining the Pass Out star that night including Chase & Status, Ms Dynamite, G-FrSh and DJ Semtex. Labrinth too will also be performing a live PA. More info after the jump.
Ghetts - Red Stripe [Video]
Ten months down the line there's a video for the Jamaican larger inspired track Red Stripe. The track doesn't actually have anything to do with the drink itself though. Lifted from the Merry Christmas EP Ghetts released in 2010 it's also Ghetts' latest video. Let's hope he does the same again this year.
Opium - OUAG-TV Freestyle [Video]
Next up in the OUAG-TV freestyles series if Opium from Bow. The young artist has already collaborated with the likes of Ed Sheeran and has got the nod from Wiley too. We caught up with Opium in the Roll Deep studios where he spat over a ZDot and Dan Dare's (The Elite) production Jumanji.
Skittles - Dot2Dot [Video]
Skittles who brought up the release Tip-I-Cal-Ly back in April is back with a new release. Out on the 7th November is his new track Dot2Dot. Mary Anne Hobbs has been rinsing the track on her XFM show, so it's not just us underground fans who are aware of Skittles talent. It's also a nice change to see a different, if strange, music video.
Scrufizzer - Hoody [Video]
With those two forgettable features to Grime fans Scru jumped on the other day he's redeemed himself with Hoody. It's the hard hitting beat mixed with Scrufizzer's fast paced flow we like to hear. Hopefully this'll be the start of more to come from the West London MC. Also catch his interview at I Luv Live with Remel London after the jump.
Stelf, Big Shizz & Shrimpoz - Ain't Got Time [Video]
The typical thing that happens with Grime is that we produce some quality MCs, but their lack of work-rate is what always holds them back. Big Shizz is back working with the Rascals, Stelf should have dropped SMH Volume 2 by now and we haven't heard from Shirmpoz for a while either. It's a typical Grime video with Big Shizz stealing the limelight for me with this verse.
Steel Banglez Feat. Ghetts, Wiley, Big H & P-Money - Break Down [Radio Rip]
On the 16th November last year we ripped a new controversial track from Wiley's YouTube. It featured Big H and Wiley who had qualms at the time due to Roll Deep. To make it even more interesting the track had both P Money and Ghetts on it too. Nearly a year down the line we assumed we wouldn't even get to hear the track properly. We'll, we're pretty close. Here's a more clear radio rip with Steel Banglez on the beat.
In The Studio With Opium [Photos]
As it's now Wednesday another new OUAG-TV freestyle will be dropping tonight at 6pm. Today we've got Opium spitting over a ZDot production. We caught up with the Grime artist whilst in the Roll Deep studios with Manga and ZDot. Here's a few snaps (after the jump), catch more on Facebook here.
Vader, JayKae, Sox & Hitman - Logan Sama After Hours Set [Video]
Twenty-four hours late now due to YouTube playing up, but finally we've got the latest After Hours set. With Logan on the decks as usual the Invasion crew from Birmingham featured Kiss set. The hype and name they've built for themselves off the back is amazing. Sox said he'd have a mixtape out in November, so let's hope he keeps to his word. Download the audio here.
Romo - Light Up Freestyle [Free Download]
Birmingham's Romo tonight gave away a quick freestyle over the infamous Light Up beat. For those who recognise it but can't quite put their finger on it, Drake used the beat on his Thank Me Later release. If you enjoy the audio feel free to download it here.
Royal T Feat. Smack @ Bunker Party (Czech Republic) [Video]
The Czech Republic love their Grime music. This was Royal-T's second time in the European country. Other recent Grime acts to fly across water and land to perform there include Family Tree and Marger. Rival would of also done the same if it wasn't for a last minute glitch. Here's how the night went down with Czech Grime artist Smack on the mic that night. Yep, the same Smack who Marger has collaborated with.
Doller & Y-Beezy - Splash TV Interview [Video]
The promo for Trap Season continues with Doller and Y-Beezy hitting up the Splash radio studios to further promote the release. With Doller being cool with Roachee and Scorcher he was asked what he thought of their Lord of the Mics III hype. Y-Beezy explained who he was for those who weren't 100% sure on the West London rapper. The usual talk was also thrown in as standard for when an artist is releasing a project.
Young Kye - Still Got It Remix [Audio]
Whilst Young Kye can bring you gritty Grime such as his Gangster Remix with Nafe Smallz and Manga of Roll Deep, he also can have a softer side to his music. Here's the perfect example. The Luton based artist has decided to remix Tyga's and Drake's track Still Got It.
Roll Deep - Everybody Reach Up [Free Download]
Fresh from it's first play on MistaJam's show, it's Roll Deep's latest track. Better yet, it's free. Of all of Roll Deep's mainstream music, this is probably the best one yet. It's got that old school feeling thanks to the piano. Expect to hear this all over the radio in the next few weeks despite it being free. Maybe you'll even hear it in the next dance you go to...
J-Sweet Feat. Wiley - Wile Out [Radio Rip]
A new unreleased Wiley x J-Sweet was just uploaded upon YouTube. Ripped from a Rinse FM show it's the sort of Grime we like from Wiley. No auto-tune and no bait lyrics. Let's hope Will takes note of this leak so we can have the full quality soon.
Mr Traumatik - Traumatised Vol. 1 (Out Now) [Release]
One time Drum and Bass MC for eight years Mr Traumatik released his latest EP today. Traumatik from Cardiff, Wales has been spitting over the 140bpm genre for the past three years now. The nine track release contains only one feature in the form of Birmingham's D-E-Velopment aka Devilman. There's two productions by SkinzMann who produced the beat for Marger's OUAG-TV freestyle. One solo entitled Lord of the Mic, the other a joint production with K1 for the track Angry Mob. Hit the jump for the tracklisting and download via iTunes here.
October's G-Shock East Session (28/10/11) [Event]
It's that time of month again. G-Shock will open their doors to various music artists to grace their tiny stage this Friday. Acts such as Marger, D Double E and RoxXxan have all performed there before, this time it's the turn of Discarda and Dirty Danger. There's a variety of acts on show, but these two names alongside SK Vibemaker will be the most relevant for you Grime fans. Enlarge the flyer above for more info on the night down Brick Lane.
Discarda - Cannon [Radio Rip]
Whilst in the studio with Discarda last week, the OUAG-TV team were lucky enough to here this track, plus a little Dubstep remix too. The angry kid Discarda is back with another banger entitled Cannon. Teddy was behind the buttons with this one.
Big Narstie Live on Deja Vu FM [Video]
With DJ Whitecoat on the decks Big Narstie lights up Deja Vu on his own. The legendary Grime station is back on the air once again. Big Narstie as usual brings fresh lyrics to the table. As always it's nothing but real talk from the streets of Brixton from Big Narst, plus his usual comical style is amongst the mix of lyrics throughout.
Ghetts Talks About LOTM3, BET Chypers, Cher Lloyd + More [Video]
Outside Lowkey's launch party for his album Grime Daily caught up with Ghetts. Whilst many interviews nowadays are the same old boring stuff, Karra of Grime Daily got all the info off Ghetts that Grime fans really wanted to hear about. Ghetts talks about turning down £10k to clash P Money at Lord of the Mics III, why he's collaborated with Cher Lloyd, plus the UK BET Cyphers.
adidas Originals x RWD Mag Party [Video]
For those who didn't go to the adidas x RWD Mag party to celebrate RWD Mag's tenth anniversary here's what you missed. The #Deca10 party was a great success with various artists performing on the night. The likes of Devlin, Mz Bratt and Ms Dynamite all performed, whilst DJ Target was on the decks and as was Marcus Nasty.
Frisco - Get Money Freestyle [Video]
We've heard Frisco spit over a lot of Hip-Hop recently and this continues today with his Get Money freestyle. Carrying on with putting out as many visual as possible for his tracks it's your standard Grime music video. At least it wasn't on the streets or in an alley this time. You'll catch Fris in his car, driving and on a roof top instead. Download the track for free here.
DeeKay - Dirty Dice TV Freestyle [Video]
DeeKay claimed last night this may be his last Grime freestyle, with OUAG-TV now up and running let's hope it's not. Despite the pouring rain DeeKay left his house to meet up with Dirty Dice TV to spray his new lyrics for the camera. Look out for his forthcoming projects out soon.
Wretch 32 - Black And White Tour [Video]
Here's what's been happening at Wretch 32's tour this month. Wretch has already performed in the cities of Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester, now he's heading back down south again. Wretch is performing in Oxford tonight, then he's off to Bristol, London, Brighton and finally Norwich. Get more info and ticket links via http://www.wretch32.com/p/events.html.
Top Boy Trailer (Part 2) [Video]
We're getting closer and closer to the first series of Top Boy, it's only just a week away now. The show stars the likes of Ashley Walters aka Asher D, Kano and Scorcher. SB.TV have exclusive behind the scenes to the filming set of the show. Catch part two of the trailer above.
Tinie Tempah - Disturbing Philly (Tour Diary) [Video]
It seems Tinie isn't coming back to the UK anytime soon. He's still touring the USA promoting his album Disc-Overy. The latest city we catch Tinie Tempah in being the original home of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Philadelphia. Tinie passed through Mitchell & Ness store in Philly to get ready for his show with Lupe Fiasco and Big Sean.
Manga & Wiley - No Limits [Free Download]
The Roll Deep duo of Manga and Wiley have been making track after track together recently. To make things better, they've all been free downloads. A joint EP from the pair for sale would be a even better touch though. Their latest collaboration is via a D.O.K production entitled No Limits. Download here.
Oh My! Feat. Scrufizzer - Dirty Dancer [Video]
It's the second Scrufizzer feature of the day and I'm not too sure what to make of Scrufizzer's feature on this Patrick Swayze inspired Pop track. It's not something we really want to hear the West London MC on. The way Scru is probably looking at it is exposure to the wider audience. Skip the Pop rubbish to 1:47mins to hear Scrufizzer's sixteen bars.
Doller - Not A Rapper [Free Download]
By the looks of the Trap Season tracklisting Not A Rapper isn't on it. So it seems Doller is just putting the track out to keep the Trap Season buzz going. A week away today you'll be able to purchase Doller & Y Beezy's Trap Season mixtape, here's a little taster of what Doller is capable of.
Mr Mitch Launches BeatFighter.co.uk [News]
A very unique and clever idea from producer Mr Mitch today. On the first of November Mr Mitch is launching his site BeatFighter.co.uk. The idea behind the website is to get two producers in a beat clash with the winner launching his beat for sale straight after voting. Grime fans will vote out of the two productions which is their favourite, the most popular instrumental gets a release at the end of the month. The first clash is between Darq E Freaker (Next Hype) and Spooky (Spartan).
Lioness Feat. Ghetts - Set The Girl [Video]
My personal favourite off Lioness' mixtape Roarness has now got a visual to go alongside the audio. The tenth track from the twelve track mixtape features Ghetts for the track Set The Girl. It's a very typical Grime Daily video, but a decent watch and listen never-the-less. Download Roarness for free here.
Russo Feat. Scrufizzer – Laters I’m Off [Audio]
It Scrufizzer has taken a leaf out of Ghetts' featuring book. The West London MC seems to be popping up everywhere nowadays with the features. Previous to this Russo collaboration, who's also worked with Dot Rotten, Scru featured on Southern Electric with legendary producer MJ Cole. Skip to 2:07mins to hear Scrufizzer's quick eight bars.
Young Kye, Nafe Smallz & Manga - Gangster Remix [Video]
Whilst the beat was built for an eight or sixteen bar track, the Luton duo and Roll Deep crew member decided to spit thirty-two bars on the ZDot production each. Whilst like Ice Kid and Marvin's Room, these guys are a bit late with the Gangster wave that passed through earlier in the year. Despite that it's still a solid track with school kid Nafe Smallz showing some potential.
Devlin @ Jessie J's Show In Manchester [Video]
Continuing with his tour video diaries here's the latest from Dagenham's Devlin. Whilst Devz has finished with his own tour, now he's riding around the country alongside chart-topper Jessie J. Their latest stop was in the North-East in Manchester. Catch a few backstage antics plus Devlin sending the crowd into rapture with his F64.
Ice Kid - Kain's Room [Audio]
Ice Kid has jumped on the Marvin's Room bandwagon very late. But then again, he's never been one to be on time. Ice Kid's mixtape was meant to drop in March but that never happened. It depends what sort of mood you'll in when listening to this track whether you'll like it at not. My first lesson I didn't, but after a couple more tries it's strangely grown on me...
Lethal Bizzle - Fire In The Booth Freestyle [Video]
Whilst Charlie Sloth's show is a Hip-Hop show, the odd Grime act does occasionally pass through. Durrty Goodz being the most previous example until Lethal Bizzle entered the booth. Whilst a the BBC studios though the MCs do spit over Hip-Hop, not Grime. See Bizz setting fire to the booth above.
Trim x Nico Lindsay - OUAG-TV Freestyle [Video]
On the same day as filming Marger and Bill Daggs at the King Apparel HQ we took a trip across East London to the Limehouse studios to meet Nico Lindsay and Trim. The pair flow back to back throughout the video during this lighthearted sessions. Despite that, there's a few shots aimed at Bloodline from the former Roll Deep crew member Trim.
Maveric - Earthquake Freestyle [Audio]
It's been a while since we've heard from Maveric, but he jumped in the booth recently to record this new freestyle. Mav chose Labrinth's new single Earthquake which many have predicted will hit number one in the charts tonight. For those who want to catch Labrinth and Tinie Tempah performing the new single in the BBC Live Lounge hit the jump.
Slay, Blizzard, Hypes & Shifty - One Way TV Hip-Hop Freestyle [Video]
We all know Grime is the UKs version of Hip-Hop, so it's not surprising to hear a Grime MC to spit over the genre. One Way TV got together four of Manchester's finest to go back to back on the same Hip-Hop beat. It's good to see Blizzard's cousin Shifty back on the mic though.
Rival - I'm On One Freestyle [Free Download]
When I saw Rival had vocalled the same beat DJ Khaled I was a bit skeptical. With Drake's auto-tuned chorus you can see why. Rivz brings his Grime flow to the I'm On One instrumental and remixing the hook was probably the best and most unsuspecting part of the track. Listen and download via Soundcloud below.
Nico Lindsay x Trim - OUAG-TV Freestyle Snaps [Photos]
On the same day we filmed Marger and Bill Daggs we also took a trip down to Limehouse Studios. OUAG-TV linked up with cousins Nico Lindsay and Trim mid-studio session. Here's a few snaps from the freestyle. The camera died half-way through which explains why there isn't more. Catch a few after the jump with the rest on our Facebook page here.
Shaddy - DnB OUAG-TV Special Freestyle [Video]
OUAG-TV hit up the Dope Ammo studio to get a special DnB freestyle from MC Shaddy. We decided to do a one off DnB special freestyle from local DnB Mc Shaddy. Dope Ammo and Resident on the beat. Filmed and edited by Jack Champion.
Top Boy - The Mixtape [Free Download]
Mixed by Charlie Sloth and compiled by Chantelle Fiddy it's the Top Boy mixtape. The mixtape of course contains the tracks that you'll hear throughout the whole series which kicks off at the end of the month. The Top Boy mixtape contains features from Lioness, Shifty, Scrufizzer, Kano and the OGz just to name a few names. The mix is an hour and sixteen minutes long. That's the only let down, we can't get it in separate MP3 files. Tracklisting after the jump.
WASP Presents // The Launch Party (29/10/11) [Event]
The 29th October at Visions Video Bar in Dalston sees a Family Tree takeover. With the best in Grime, Dubstep and Garage playing the South London crew will be performing live.

Doller & Y Beezy Feat. Angelique - No Stopping Us [Video]
With Trap Season not too far away now, the duo of Doller and Y Beezy decided it was time to let off a video for a track from the mixtape. With the help of Angelique on the hook Link-Up TV shot the video for No Stopping Up. The mixtape is a link up between the two rappers from opposite sides of London. Trap Season out 31st October.
No Lay @ The O2 Academy, Oxford (26/10/11) [Event]
"No Lay one of the most inspiring and influential artists to appear out

Bigz, Roxxxan, Ghetts, Mz Bratt, G-FrSh & Chipmunk - UK BET Awards Cypher [Video]
Here's the second of two UK cyphers at the BET Awards. The first saw Mic Righteous, Smiler, Lady Leshurr, Akala and Wretch 32 go back to back, now we've got a handful more doing the same. There's a nice mixture of Grime and Hip-Hop MCs throughout these cyphers. The second cypher sees Bigz kick it off followed by Roxxxan then Ghetts, Mz Bratt, Gfrsh and finally Chipmunk.
Sidenote: For some reason if I try to
embed both videos it doesn't work. Also I can't seem to get rid of the
huge gap between the video and text.
Shystie Feat. Ghetts & Nolay - Takeover [Video]
It's an exciting month for those who enjoy gritty UK Urban visuals. Whilst Top Boy starts on Channel 4 at the end of the month Sket will hit the cinemas around the same time. On the 28th to be precise. The crew behind the film called upon two of the finest female artists in the game alongside Grime's top boy Ghetts. Whilst Shystie cover the hook as well as her own verse, Ghetts reminds us the whole of East London isn't like Shoreditch. No Lay steps up and reminds us that it isn't just the guys who are bad on the roads nowadays with her lyrics.
Durrty Goodz - Fire In The Booth [Video]
We're still waiting upon a new Durrty Goodz release, but it seems we won't be waiting too long. During his Fire In The Booth freestyle for Charlie Sloth Doogz mentions a new project entitled Foundation. We can only assume the bars Goodz spit will feature on the new release. Let's hope it's less Hip-Hop and more Grime though.
P Money - Originator [Video]
Taken from his free download release IBeatTheTune.com it's a new video from P Money. The OGz frontman has been smashing raves up throughout the UK and even in Europe too. When I asked P Money about a Dubstep EP last year he denied yet and I assumed I'd be fed misleading information, but then IBeatTheTune.com dropped. Strange. I'd like to hear more of P on Grime again please. Download IBeatTheTune.com here.
Mic Righteous, Smiler, Lady Leshurr, Akala & Wretch 32 - UK BET Awards Cypher [Video]
Finally the UK BET Awards cypher is online. The freestyles premiered last Saturday but we've been waiting all week for a link to drop online. Eventually the videos got uploaded to the BET Awards website and they're now spreading worldwide. In the first video (above) you'll catch Mic Righteous, Smiler, Lady Leshurr, Akala and Wretch 32 go back to back.
Sidenote: For some reason if I try to embed both videos it doesn't work. Also I can't seem to get rid of the huge gap between the video and text.
Dot Rotten - Keep It On The Low [Radio Rip]
Despite Dot's Hip-Hop'ish attempts at music recently this track isn't so bad. It's a typical Dot Rotten deep and mellow track before the switch up. It them becomes a typical release in 2011, yep, Dubstep infused mixed with Dance. Keep It On The Low is Dot Rotten's first single since being signed.
Mikey J - The Producers House (EP.12) [Video]
It's episode twelve of the Producers House by SB.TV and the latest producer they caught up with in the studio is Mikey J. Mikey is the man behind every single track Kano has put together for Not 4 The A List. Mikey J also produced the opening track of Kano's classic album Home Sweet Home. Catch up with Mikey J above and see how he operates whilst making a beat.
C4 - OoRITE! (Exclusive Clip) [Audio]
We love bringing you exclusive tracks over here at Once Upon A Grime, and today we've got another. This time it's from Birmingham's C4. We've got an exclusive clip of a revamped version of his slogan OoRITE! His brother Preditah produced this one entitled Royal Mess. You can buy the beat now via iTunes, but you'll have to wait till November 13th for the OoRITE EP!
Bill Daggs - OUAG-TV Freestyle [Video]
Our second freestyle video comes from Defdfires crew member Bill Daggs, also shot at the King Apparel HQ. Bill chose the beat Army of Fear for his OUAG-TV freestyle. You can pre-order the album Operation: Zombie Nation by Defdfires now via BandCamp. Due for release on 24th October 2011- http://defdfires.bandcamp.com/
Flava D Feat. Ghetts, Stutta, Lioness, Lady Leshurr, Roachee & Rapid - Victory [Radio Rip]
Flava D has been dabbling with the Garage sound recently, but she hasn't let that distract her from the Grimy sound. The female producer with the help of Stutta has brought together some of Grimes finest all on one track. Once again Ruff Sqwad's Rapid is on the hook, and it's a healthy mixture of male and female artists on the track too.
