Oh deary me. Deary deary me. Wiley (must have been blinded by the $) has leant a verse to one of the wackest songs I have heard for a long while. I mean I just don’t get it. I am sure this song is someones cup of tea but she should stick to strictly come whatever that crap is. Next.

R&B loyalists, it’s our time.

Faith Evans and SWV, December 5th, indigO2 – need I say more?

Tickets are on sale now, but they’re not exactly cheap – but then with that line up, you can’t expect them to be really. I imagine this will sell out so if I were you – I’d get in there quick time.

See you there.

Shouts to MisterAnd

Erm, this is mammoth. Completely spazzed out on first, second, third, fourth (lol) listen! Turn your speakers up or put them ‘gonna-go-deaf’ headphones on and play this mutha now. Good Lord, that’s some next grimey ish. Middle Eastern drums, f*cked up baseline, synths galore. Biggup Goldielocks, each and every. No official release date yet, but it should be out soon via Gut Instinct Music. Need the .mp3 of this ASAP – my gosh.

‘Roman’s Revenge’ comes off Nicki’s forthcoming debut album Pink Friday, featuring Eminem and produced by Swizz Beatz. Wow, this may be the first track off Minaj’s album that I’m actually excited about. With Em and Swizzy on board you know she had to come correct and she did – her bars are dumb – “I’m a bad bitch, I’m a c*nt” – damn lol.  Not the best song I’ve ever heard, but it’s good to hear some heat from her again. Thank you Nicki, finally.

…How someone can look so hot and sing such sh*t songs so badly is quite a feat. #justsaying.

This is too dope. New interpretations of tracks from the awesome ‘Triangulation’ album by Scuba on Hotflush. Some serious serious individuals have taken to remix duty including Fatty DL, Deadboy and Scuba himself. Real nice mix of glitchy eerie dirty and dark dubstep, real atmospheric and you can preview all tracks from the EP above. Looking like a CD only purchase avaiable Nov 15th.

Not sure who the female is on hook vocal duties….thoughts please. For the download hit the arrow on the player.
