If 2010 belongs to anyone, it’s my future wifey Katy B. From the smashing ‘Katy On A Mission’ to the massive collabs with Magnetic Man, the trend continues with Katy’s second single, the funky summer anthem ‘Lights On’ featuring Ms. Dynamite. The promo for the official video, shot by UK production house Archer’s Mark, will air for the first time on MTV2′s Gonzo With Alexa Chung this Friday. A few snaps from filming available here. Gosh, I think I’m in love. I’ve been rinsing this video since first view, Katy holla at me for Notting Hill 2011. Please?

I caught up with GLC when he was in town last week  getting ready for his long awaited release ofLove, Life and Loyalty” and before his exclusive showcase (Review and pictures coming soon). I wasn’t sure what to expect as GLC had somehow been in the back of the queue of Kanye West friends to come to the forefront.

So entering the hotel room with no expectations,  I was happily welcomed by the 6ft tall something.  Greeted with a warm smile, a huge hug and a compliment on my clothes. I was immediately sold and my female ego was filled, but then I put those comforts to the side and got down to business.

The Name

The name came about from when I was a kid, when I was in a street organisation called “Gangster Disciples”. My government name is Leonard, so they would call me ‘Gangster L’ and then from that the ‘L’ became Legendary.

I lived a life that was full. I lost my father at eight months, lost my mom at 12. Diagnosed with diabetes at 14. I actually died when I was 14. I was resurrected. it was when I had a pretty high blood sugar number and I must of went out for a minute.

Any man who has faced the face of death and came back from it, thats Legendary. All the things I have experienced throughout my life, like go to funerals, being in the midst of gang violence and things of that nature to come out from that and be positive is key. To be an inspriration to the youth and people as a whole, is a blessing. And thats where my name came about. Gangster Legendary Crisis.

Don’t give in to the crisis, just become legendary and rise above it.

If you’re gonna have a tune as a big as ‘Heard It All Before’, you really need to come harder than this. I’m aware that tune dropped years ago but it still stands as a brilliant R&B tune which everyone gets hyped over when played. Unfortunately this just doesn’t cut it – on the up side though, her voice sounds real nice still. Anderson’s new album The Sun Shines Again is due out November 2nd.
