K2 World Feat. Tinchy Stryder & Slix - Applaud My Swag [Video]
Not Grime, it's all 'swagger talk'. Ruff Sqwad duo Tinchy Stryder and Slix join forces with K2 World for the track Applaud My Swag. I don't know really where to place this genre wise. I only checked it out myself to see what Tinchy's verse was like...
Flava Meets Skepta [Video]
Skepta has been a bit illusive as of recent visual wise. With a new single out we normally see an artist all over our screens. Interviews, live performances, acoustics etc. Donatella caught up with Skepta for Flava TV recently to talk about his new single, about making different genres of music and the new generation of Grime MCs.
Mr.Mitch - The Last Stand (Instrumental) [Radio Rip]
New music from Mr Mitch today. New Grime beats get span daily on stations such as Rinse FM and Deja Vu, but rarely anyone records them. Mr Mitch ripped his own beat from Sir Spyro's show on Rinse Fm the other day. Here's the Last Stand.
Krypto Klan - Struggle (Hustle) [Video]
Rap this time from Birmingham trio Krypto Klan instead of Grime. Once again it's a quality video from the P110 camp for Struggle. Stomz, Romo and Kid GX all come together once again to vocal a beat by Nemesis.
Marger Feat. Josh Osho - This Year (Acoustic) [Video]
Marger is really aiming to push his latest single This Year. With Josh Osho on the hook it's looking to another successful single for the Grime MC. The duo hit the Flava TV studios recently to perform and exclusive acoustic cover of the track. Here's how it turned out...
Wretch 32 @ BBC 1Xtra Live, Manchester / Proud O2, London [Video]
Wretch has really been putting work into his stage performances recently. We've got three videos of Wretch gracing two seperate stages. The first is Manchester (above). Wretch was at BBC 1Xtra Live 2011 where he performed his new single Forgiveness with Etta Bond. After the jump you'll catch him at the Proud O2 in London. Wretch performs Don't Go and Unorthodox plus AAA footage from SB.TV.
A Day with Invasion Alert [Video]
Aaron Hanson took the trip from South London all the way up to Birmingham to link up with some of the most talked about MCs of 2011. Lord of the Mics III has really thrown Invasion into the spotlight this year and they're taking it in their stride.
Teddy Feat. Newham Generals - Doomed [Radio Rip]
Hearing new tracks from the Newham Generals is always a pleasure. And of course, Logan will always wheel their tracks at least once every time. Lifted from his forthcoming collaboration project, it's Teddy on the buttons with D Double E and Footsie on the vocals. Ripped from Logan Sama's Tuesday morning show entitled Doomed.
Lord of the Mics III (Pre-Order) [Release]
Lord of the Mics III is just around the corner. Alongside the DVD with all the clashes is a CD too. Every MC who's clashed has at least one track on there. There's also a few fresh ones too. Footsie and Jammer, Tez Kidd and Ghetts x Wiley x Big H x P Money also gets a release. Productions come from True Tiger, Preditah, Frisco and Flava D throughout the CD. So production-wise isn't slacking either. It's out December 12th, pre-order via iTunes. Tracklisting after the jump.
Rax Feat. Rival - Splash [Video]
A new video from Rax every two weeks is really paying off the YouTube hits are to go by anything. Throwing his name out there again his videos are hitting the thousands with ease. The Wholemeal freestyle has thirty-six of them thousands. His latest video features Grime MC Rival entitled Splash.
B Live - £7 Note [Video]
Although B Live has been around from the Garage days, his new track is like a mixture between Scrufizzer with his fast flow when he switches it up and Big Narstie with his humorous lyrics at points. With Bass Boy on production £7 Note is out on the 2nd December.
Maxsta Feat. L - Spit Fire (Behind the Scenes) [Video]
More Hip-Hop from Maxsta? The song is sounding sick from the clips, but this is meant to be the Grime kid. Looks like it's another one lost to the cash of the mainstream. As long as he makes respectable music like Wretch 32 and not the cheesey Pop like Chipmunk and Tinchy have done it's fine by me.
Kano - Girls Over Guns Release x Room Service [Release/Audio]
With Kano announcing he was releasing a mixtape just for the girls, many doubted him. I don't blame them. After his failure of 140 Grime Street plus a few dodgy Pop'py tracks it wouldn't surprise me if this was a terrible release also. But after the fantastic series of tracks for Not 4 The A List he's continued that form into Girls Over Guns it seems. Below is the first leak from the free mixtape entitled Room Service. Tracklisting after the jump. Release out soon.
Stelf & Tré Mission - Spacing Dem [Video]
The video looks like it was shot a few months back, and to be fair, should of been released then. Although Stelf and Tré put together decent bars between them, the Gangster beat is well and truly dead now. Also, the irony of Stelf saying "give me a fresh beat" was a bit entertaining too. Overall, good track, bad release date.
Trilla - #YES Freestyle [Video]
What's with all the Midlands channels hash-tagging their freestyles with random names? Grime Blog caught up with Trilla who's actually wrote new bars. Yes, new bars from Trilla. It's actually a decent freestyle from him to be honest...
Ruff Sqwad Feat. Stamina, Mercston & J2K - This Side [Video]
Whilst some Grime fans may have not liked the original, maybe this remix is for you. Ruff Sqwad have called upon Stamina, Roll Deep's J2K and Mercston to jump on the remix of This Side. No fresh lyrics from anyone in the crew though, Rapid and Dirty Danger's hook is still the same though.
Roll Deep - Picture Perfect [Video]
Repeating myself from the other day, it's a few months too late for this track. The sun is out, beautiful women, dance music. Back in England it's cold, everyone has a cold, oh, and it's November. A good summer track, but it's not summer. Also is Tania Foster apart of Roll Deep now?
Lord Rivz Launch Party (Tomorrow) [Event]
Tomorrow night sees Grime hit Shoreditch again. It says R&B, House and Hip-Hop on the flyer, but you have to do that stuff to keep the promoters and police happy nowadays. Alongside Rival on the night will be Ghetts, Manga, Big Narstie, Roachee plus more (see flyer above). Rinse FM DJs Spyro and Vectra will take to the decks, as will producer Dexplicit and DJ Logan Sama. Free entry before 11pm, £5 for girls, £7 for boys. Click the flyer above for more info.
Shystie - Boyz [Video]
At the start you'll probably think, "ah great, another MC repeating old bars we've heard before", wrong. Three magic words, I Luv You. Yep, unlike Example who lacked creativity and threw a song together with half the lyrics from a song four years back, Shystie remixes hers. She subtly blends a few of her classic lyrics in with some new ones for Boyz. Quite an impressive track and video actually.
Logan Sama After Hours Feat. Obese, Nico Lindsay, Scratchy, Discarda & MIK [Video]
Although it seems a bit of a random mixture, there's a reason to having all these names in one room. With Obese's Man Know release out now all of these MCs feature on the remix, bar Nico Lindsay. Those two always roll together music wise. Buy the Man Know EP here.
This Is UK Grime - Volume: II [Release]
After the sucess of the first edition of This Is UK Grime last year, 2011 sees the release of Volume II. The first release was in the top 100 of the iTunes Hip-Hop chart (there isn't a Grime one yet) for over ten months. Volume II sees a mixture of classic Grime tracks and recent new MCs who've emerged over the past eighteen months to two years. This includes Marger, Rival and Scrufizzer. The classics include Chipmunk, Tinie Tempah and Kano. Pre-order via iTunes now - here.
OGz @ Free Range, Oxford (Part 2) [Video]
Their set lasted over an hour, and Cameraman Sketch managed to edit down Jack Champion's footage down into thirty minutes. Here's the second half of the footage from OGz at Free Range, Oxford with Fangol and Jester accompanying them.
Young Kye - The Virgo Prelude [Free Download]
Young Kye has made a real impression on the scene this year. His collaborations with Manga being a highlight for many. A recent appearance on Logan Sama's After Hours set was also ticked off his to do list. Finally we've got a mixtape from him too. We've seen video after video, heard freestyle after freestyle, but we've not had a solid release from the Luton based artist. Featuring such artists as Nafe Smallz, Manga of Roll Deep and Lady Chann it's the Virgo Prelude. Download here and as usual the tracklisting is after the jump.
Lil Nasty - Like This [Video]
Darq E Freaker has many sounds. We've heard his Grimy Next Hype beats, his Stoner-Rap productions for Nu Brand, and now here's a Rap one for Lil Nasty. It seems pretty much the whole video was shot whilst in Montreal, Canada in October. Lil Nasty took to the North American country for Nasty FM's Halloween party out there. Catch footage from that after the jump.
Eskimo Dance 2012 [Event]
The legendary Eskimo Dance is back for 2012. Two weeks into the so called 'last year of the Earth' at the Proud2, the O2, history will be made. Wiley going back to back with Skepta, JME, Ghetts and P Money with Logan Sama on the decks. D Double E is also on the bill MC wise too. For more info and tickets click here.
Ice Kid - Warm Up Session Freestyle [Video]
SB.TV have stepped up their game with F64's and Warm Up Sessions recently. Also it seems Ice Kid is fully back on music once again. Now he's signed to Amplify Dot's label his Jekyll & Hyde EP, not a mixtape anymore, is actually coming out at the start of next year. The first single Live Once is out soon and the video for Marijuana was released two days back
Discarda - Rhyme On [Video]
Whilst Tempa T may be the hypest Grime MC around, Discarda is defiantly the angriest. With the Rhyme On release just around the corner it was time for a video. Once again Morgan Keyz takes to the roof to film another music video, his time it's for a Preditah production.
Brotherhood - Leaves in the Autumn [Video]
Proving their is talent outside the major cities it's the duo known as Brotherhood. Menace, the young of the two brothers, is first up before being followed by Blaze. I was expecting a more back to back track for the pair instead of the track being split in two. Jamal Woon does a great job on the visuals too.
C4 - OoRITE! [Video]
C4 has been one of the break-through names in the Grime scene this year. At the start of the year he wasn't that well known outside of the Midlands, now various Rinse FM DJs plus Logan Sama and a couple BBC 1Xtra DJs spin his tracks on the regular. His latest release is the OoRITE! Time EP was released on the 14th November. So go pick that up now via iTunes.
Frisco - F64 [Video]
The F64's seem to back on track. The hype isn't as big as the original series, and throwing all these random guys in for F64's rather than Warm Up Sessions wasn't a great move. Lady Leshurr brought the hype back, and Blizzard has carried that on by spitting in Spanish during his freestyle. BBK's Frisco is the latest to step up to the camera.
Marger Feat. Josh Osho - This Year (Behind The Scenes) [Video]
The official video is out next week, but here's a snippet of what's to come. RWD Mag went behind the scenes of Marger's latest track This Year. Marger's next single is entitled This Year featuring Josh Osho on the hook. Shot in a boxing ring a bit of fire was added for extra effects, literally. Single out 23rd January 2012.
Wiley & Manga - Unclassified [Free Download]
It's not a freestyle over an American Hip-Hop beat this week from Wiley and Manga. The Roll Deep duo spit over a beat by Rude Kid infact. Something a little more Grimy. The pair need to group together all these tracks and release them as one big mixtape really. Download here.
Diesle, NAA, Durrty Skanx + More - Deja Vu FM Set [Video]
Here's the latest footage from Deja Vu. This set had four DJs going back to back in the mix. In order it was; DJ Spooky, D.O.K, DJ Dan then Dan Gar Gan. Several MCs touched down in the studio too. Diesle, Big Narstie, L Dot Man, Durrty Skanx and Typah just to name a few names. Download the set here.
Ecko Presents...The Renaissance - Marger x Ghetts x Scrufizzer [Video]
Ecko are back with a bang ready for 2012. They've thrown together a collection for the last quarter of 2011, but 2012 is where it'll really pick up. To promote their new line they've recruited a few big names in the Grime scene. Above you'll see Marger on set, after the jump you can catch both Ghetts and Scrufizzer.
Styler Feat. Rival & Sicx - Get Away [Audio]
 |
| (Photography by Kids of Grime) |
Lifted from Styler's forthcoming EP Better Than Your Average here's a little teaser of what's to come. Styler was joined on the Rude Kid production by Rival (who kicks off the track) and Sicx. No release date yet for the EP, it'll be out early 2012, that's all we know.
Roll Deep - Lord Knows Freestyle [Free Download]
Bashy set the pace with his weekly freestyles, now Roll Deep have joined him. Every Friday you'll be able to pick up a new freestyle from the chart toppers for free. This week Brazen, J2K and Manga came together to vocal Lord Knows. The track was originally by Drake & Rick Ross. Download here.
adiSlam - The UK's Biggest Celebrity Basketball Event [Event]
adidas present the UK's biggest celebrity basketball event which takes place on the 18th December this year. Wretch 32 will be peforming live, Maxsta will be there, so will Bashy, Roll Deep and SB.TV. The downside, some guy from TOWIE is there, plus a load of people from Hollyoak's too. Grime artists will counter-balance these fake celebs though, so it's fine.
JME - Gun [Audio]
JME always pops up with random videos and tracks. They just randomly appear when checking my YouTube subscriptions. Very little promo or hype is done by JME before the audio or visual is aired, unless he's selling it of course. JME has such a huge fan base now that he doesn't really need to do so. Word of mouth and sharing on social networking sites and blogs do the work for him.
S.Samuel - Kimbo + Pat Kensit Freestyle [Video]
It's very rare to hear anything from S.Samuel nowadays. Easily one of the most under-rated MCs around. A mixtape will help cement his name. Sex, Drugs, Grime & Rap it seems will be that release. The Regime crew member hooked up with Deadcloud on a cold night in Essex to showcase some of his latest lyrics via two separate beats.
Rude Kid - Get Busy [Radio Rip]
Not Grime from Rude Kid this time, a bit of old school rave music enfused with typical 2011 Dubstep sounds. This won't really suit a Grime set with MCs on, but will easily fit into a club or a straight mixing session on Rinse FM. This is Rude Kid's forthcoming single, no info on the release date as of yet.
Chronik Talks About Esco, Tempa T & Slew Dem in 2012 [Video]
More footage from Diesle's and Big Narstie's video shoot now. The Grime Report this time caught up with Chronik. Slew Dem's Chronik talks about working with No Hats, No Hoods plus putting out videos and releases with them. Chronik also touches on Esco's CD and seeing if his brother, Tottenham football player Jermaine Defore, will invest in it to release the CD. He also talks about Tempa T reaching to the wider audience and a Slew Dem mixtape.
Ice Kid - Marijuana [Video]
It seems Ice Kid is going in a different direction with his music now he's signed to AmpedUp Entertainment. Not the Popstep rubbish commercial though thankfully, just not as Grimy as he once was. Live Once which I blogged the other day will be his forthcoming single, Marijuana is just a little teaser from his EP, not mixtape, Jekyll & Hyde.
OGz @ Free Range, Oxford [Video]
Last Wednesday the OUAG-TV team linked up with Cameraman Sketch in Oxford to film the OGz at a rave. As well as Little Dee, P Money, Blacks and Jendor on the mic a few others came along. Ruger jumped on the mic at one point, Fangol travelled down from Nottingham, plus Jester (the first guy spitting in the video) also spat a few bars too. Filmed by Jack Champion, edited by Cameraman Sketch.
The 2 Bears Feat. Trim, Scrufizzer & Trigganom - Work (Toddla T Remix) [Radio Rip]
The original may not appeal to many Grime fans, but Toddla T's remix may do. The Sheffield based producer with the help of former Roll Deep member Trim, plus Scrufizzer and Trigganom has produced a very respectable remix. The track is so nice MistaJam played it twice. World exclusive too.
Tinie Tempah Feat. Wretch 32 & J.Cole - Like It or Love It [Audio]
Damn, Tinie's flow is amazing on this track. This is the first leak from his new mixtape entitled Happy Birthday which is out next week. Wretch 32 joins Tinie on the S-X production, but Wretch talking about how much money he has doesn't seem right. He's always been this humble guy but then talks about wiping his ass with a £50 note? Brilliant. Download here.
JME - Twitter Freestyle [Audio]
This freestyle proves why so many rate JME as the best lyricist in the Grime scene. With an hour to spare before hitting DJ Cameo's show he decided to make a track. JME took to Twitter and asked his followers to suggest topics to make a track with and incorporated them into this freestyle.
Blizzard - F64 [Video]
Whilst the hype of Lady Leshurr's F64 dies down a bit, Blizzard's is simply one of the best F64's to be done. Who else also switches up their flow and starts spitting in Spanish? Manchester's boy of the moment Blizzard took the trip down to London to film his F64 for SB.TV. Let's hope the industry takes notice of his big talent at such a young age.
Roll Deep - Perfect Picture [Audio]
The official video was recently shot in Marbella, so here's Roll Deep's forthcoming single Picture Perfect. It seems Roll Deep have tried to hang onto the summer sounds that have passed. The video gives off that vibe. For me it's being released at the wrong time of the year. It'll never be a Christmas number one, but it could of potentially been a summer club banger for next year. Behind the scenes of the video after the jump, listen to the track here via Soundcloud as it's un-bed-able (not a real word) for some reason.
Ice Kid - Live Once [Audio]
Ice Kid's new track was span last Friday for the first time by Roll Deep's DJ Target. For those who don't know, Ice Kid is also signed and is the first signing to Amplify Dot's label AmpedUp Entertainment. Live Once will be his first single. A video for a track entitled Marijuana was shot the other day which I'm not 100% sure will be used for. Maybe his mixtape Jekyll & Hyde?
Ghetts Feat. Goldielocks - First Class [Video]
The other day I said Ghetts needs to choose a direction with his music, then this video with Goldielocks pops up. It's a hipsters wet dream. As much as a creative person Goldielocks is herself, why is Ghetts spitting over this sort of music? Besides the residents of Shoreditch, who actually likes this music? I can't believe Rapid produced this...
10 Free Tickets To Win To See Mz Bratt (2/12/12) [Competion]
The latest competition we're running alongside the Westbury Bar is to win tickets, once again, but to see Mz Bratt this time.

The Lord Of The Mics All Stars - Lord Of The Mics Takeover [Audio]
To further promote the release of Lord of the Mics III all the MCs involved have come together for one big track. Logan Sama span the track on his show during the early hours of Tuesday morning. You can guess what the instrumental is now as it's been completely over-used by certain DJs on sets.
Devlin Diaries (21/11/11) [Video]
Here's the latest and probably the longest version of Devlin's video diaries. During the latest episode you'll catch Devlin on set of the New Thinkers Index project and recording the track. You'll also see clips of a few performances and also in the studio with Ed Sheeran.
Wretch 32 - Thank You For The Music 2011 [Video]
Wretch 32 has had a phenomenal year. He's gone from playing to a small crowd in the Queen of Hoxton at I Luv Live to a chart topper who's performed to over 300k people this year. His album Black and White went silver in terms of sales too. You'll have spotted him on tour with Example, on the Later with Jools Holland show, he's also a Lucozade and adidas ambassador too. Let's hope he can finish the year with another top ten hit with Forgiveness at least.
Scratchy & Discarda - Don't Wanna [Free Download]
You'd have heard a few Grime DJs playing Don't Wanna over the past couple weeks on their show. The joint track from Roll Deep's Scratchy and East London's Discarda is now a free download. For those who recognise Discarda's lyrics during the track, he used them during his OUAG-TV freestyle a few weeks back. Download here.
No Lay - OUAG-TV Interview (Part 1) x Drop Me Out [Video/Free Download]
Finally our interview with No Lay has hit our YouTube channel. Shot a few weeks ago whilst No Lay was in Oxford we've broken down the video in to two parts. In part one No Lay talks about why she was in Oxford, the Goonz and Takeover tracks, plus getting into acting. Download No Lay's latest mixtape Drop Me Out after the jump.
Delilah - Go (Terrorsum Cover) [Video]
Whilst it may not be the best video you've ever seen, Terrorsum does a good job of writing to the Balistiq Beats instrumental. Being a big fan of the original version by Delilah Terrorsum decided to remake the track to make it his own. The young artist from Wycombe has put a completely different spin on Go and it works well.
Spooky w/ Wariko, Diesle, Jammer + More - Deja Vu FM Set [Video]
Pretty much nearly every Deja Vu FM set is being filmed since its revival. The latest to be caught on camera is when Wariko was spitting on DJ Spooky's show. Wariko spat some of his Lord of the Mics bars for Diesle, on Diesle's own radio station. Later in the set you'll see Diesle show up with Jammer and go back to back with Nottingham's Wariko in a mini-warm up for the Lord of the Mics III release.
Rival Feat. Lioness - Plan A [Video]
With Lord Rivz out today releasing a video on the same day was a good form of promotion. Rival collaborated with Lioness for a unique and different idea for a track. I don't think this has been done before in the Grime scene. Logan Sama tells a tale of a honey-trap, one of the oldest tricks around.If there's one track that had to have a visual off Lord Rivz, it was this one. Buy Lord Rivz via iTunes.
Snakeyman - Never Fail (Acoustic) [Video]
Snakeyman's latest single is out tomorrow, for a little bit of extra promo he took to the Urban Flash camera to perform an acoustic version of it. The video for Never Fail was released last week, but here's Snakeyman with a more stripped back version of the track.
Nico Lindsay - Things Created Out of Character [Free Download]
With the artwork looking like Nico simply typed the title of his new track into Google images, here's Things Created Out of Character. It's been a little while since we've heard a new Grime track off Nico Lindsay, there's been the odd Rap or Hip-Hop, but no Grime. The North Londoner returns via a Rocks production which doubles up as a free download too.
Lady Leshurr - F64 [Video]
It's been a little while since we've really had a stand out F64 freestyle. Even Ghetts' Warm Up Session freestyle was a bit raggo. A bit stop start, it didn't flow well at all. Lady Leshurr returns for the second time with an F64 and has sent many tounges wagging in the scene. With his first effort reaching over 370k, let's see how well this one does.
Creative Mindz - The Authentic Street Material EP [Free Download]
Finally Creative Mindz clothing range will be out by the start of December. It's been a very long time coming for creator Stevie Grimes. To help promote the new range that'll be released soon Stevie has called upon a few favours from a handful of Grime MCs he's worked alongside. Roll Deep trio Manga, J2K and Wiley all feature on the Authentic Street Material EP, as does Nottingham's Wariko and Young Kye of Luton too. Download here and hit the jump for the tracklisting.
UV.UK - Guest Mix #3 - Pman - 'It's All In The Garage' [Audio]
When not filming freestyles or working alongside Launchpad Records, EZ of UV.UK is putting together guest mixes for his YouTube channel. The third and latest guest mix comes from Essex based DJ Pman. In this fifteen minutes of old school Garage tracks you'll hear a few classics, a few bait tracks, and even a Spooky refix is thrown in. Listen below and catch the tracklisting after the jump.
Marger Feat. Josh Osho - This Year [Radio Rip]
MistaJam recently played Marger's latest single entitled This Year. Marger has put together a string of successful singles this year, and with Josh Osho on the hook it seems he's going to continue that trend. His musical relationship with producer Sibling has really blossomed this year. The duo are consistently putting out hit after hit. Weather that be something a little more mainstream such as Shadows or a Grime track such as Evil. Once again Sibling is on the buttons for This Year.
Rival - Lord Rivz [Review]
Rival has to be one of the most hard-working MCs in the Grime scene. He's not happy with flinging out a mixtape every six months or so plus the odd video, he does much more. This year has been filled with EPs, free downloads and videos throughout. Here's the latest bit of material from the East Londoner in the form or Lord Rivz. OUAG-TV's Luke Champion reviews the release.
Joe Black & No Lay in the Studio [Video]
It's always a nice change to see artists in the studio working on their music. It's a rare thing nowadays. GrimeDaily went behind the scenes to capture No Lay collaborating with Joe Black. Why's It So Hard? is sounding really promising. We'll get to hear the full track soon as it'll be on No Lay's mixtape which'll be out in a few weeks.
Wiley - Boom Blast (Clip) [Audio]
Yesterday I blogged about the artwork and release of Wiley's next album and single, today here's a clip of said single. After hearing it, I'm not sure Wiley's album will be what a lot of people were hoping for. Teenage girls will love it, Grime fans will probably be disappointed. It sounds like Wiley needs a bit of cash in his pocket (no pun intended).
Mercston Feat. Ghetts - Feel It In The Air [Video]
With a title such as this you may think Mercston and Ghetts spat over True Tiger's production, but it's far from that. It's a mellow Rap track from the duo. Ghetts is confusing a lot of people with his choice of music. He keeps moving from one extreme to another. One minute he's talking about his love-loss for Grime with Kano, the next he's saying how he's the best in the scene alongside Giggs. He needs to focus on one path and dominate it.
Roll Deep - Marvin & Charrdonnay Remix [Free Download]
It seems Manga's influence of remixing tracks with Wiley has rubbed off on the whole crew. The pair have been giving away remixes of tracks on the regular, now it seems the whole of Roll Deep are coming together to do the same. The latest in their line of remixes is a remix of Big Sean's Marvin & Charrdonnay. Download here.
Ghetts Feat. Giggs - No Comment x On A Level Remix (Behind the Scenes) [Audio/Video]
Just the other day we saw a clip from Ghetts and Giggs recording No Comment in the studio (here), today we've got the audio. Whilst we had a minute and a half clip of it already, here's the full track in all it's glory. Also after the jump it seems there's going to be a video for On A Level Remix. Check out the behind the scenes. Click 'read more'.
Amaru Don TV Interview Lady Leshurr (Part One) [Video]
Lady Leshurr has had labels sniffing around for a while now, but she states that'll she's staying independent and seeing how far it takes her career. But there's only so much you can do on your own before big labels throw wads of cash at you. Lady Leshurr talks about her new single Lego, working in the studio with Wizzy Wow and how World-Star Hip-Hop helped her.
Marger - Evil (Darkness Remix) [Free Download]
With Marger giving out the acapella of Evil alongside the vocal and instrumental by Sibling expect many more remixes. One of the best I've come across if from young producer Darkness. The Grime instrumental maker has put his twist on Marger's latest track below. It's also a free download. Download the original vocal, acapella and instrumental here.
Typah - B.I.G Freestyle [Video]
Only the Grime Report knows when these Best In Grime freestyles from Diesle's and Big Narstie's video shoot will end. We've had Diesle himself, Rival, Chronik and Sharky Major all spit a freestyle, now it's the turn of Typah. The N Double A crew member raises the standards with his freestyle.
