Great video from Wiley, not his usual field, but a big tune all the same. I think I prefer "Wearing My Rolex" in all honestly, but, the drop at 2:50 on this song is MAD. This is out on the 28th December via Island Records (I'm strongly assuming it's with Island anyway), a bit awkward considering the fact you'll have some SHIT X-factor winner hogging the top spot with there money launderd battyboy noise, so a number one is a bit of a reach. All the same, SUPPORT Wiley when his single arrives in December and take time to check out his new website..
Ohhh and how rude, big up too Chew Fu !
Feeling the vibe to this tune, feeling the female garage-like voice actually. I rate the video as well, guess Big Dada wanted to make a good impression with their new signing. Jammer's doing well for himself it appears, I wonder if he'll balls it up when it comes to the album.?.
A Remix is on the horizon from none other than Skepta...looking forward to that. A remix is on the horizon from Hardhouse Banton...I can wait.
But yeah anyway May 2010 - Jammer's album with Big Dada..will it be any good ? Who know's, I was anticipating Are You Dumb Vol.66.
P.S. Produced wonderfully by Sheffield producer Toddla T.
Big up Morris of the Grimforum users, he kindly ripped this tune from tonights edition of Logan Sama's weekly grime dosage. Sharky Major recently made his return to the scene, and "Shark Attack" is taken from the new mixtape "Major League", this track is the official remix with Skepta on the production.
Sharky Major - Sharks Attack Remix (Feat. Devlin, P Money, Ghetts & Dot Rotten)
This is one of them -holy-cow-get-the-batmobile-robin moments. This is GONE.COM/IN-DIE-ARE'SALLOVERTHEGAFFE. Devlin is easily a top ten MC. He's levels above a lot of them out there. He's up 1st and does nothing less than murder the verse back to front, with the witty and syllable-raped lines that have come to make him over the years. Of course the Major couldn't be out-shined on his own musical brilliance, but these two have only been the pre-match fighters. The Main Event is upon us now, P Money's up first.
"Skniny Sorts wanna talk on YouTube"
"I Don't Care What SHE LIKES man can't say I'm not TOP 10 in ENGLAND"
"Wanna BE COOL then keep your distance"
***Break*** Dot Rotten babbles on. He upped the levels on S.O.O.N, didn't appreciate his contribution on this tune. Back to importan stuff, Ghetts is now on the microphone. Hmmmm. I wonder if he'll adress any outstanding situations.
"He's sending he's sending he can't stop sending, oh is that the best you've got ?"
"Just 'cos you say Ghetts a lot don;t mean you can stand up next to god"
"Everyone's got their money on the under dog I wonder what sent them all to his side ?"
AND I thought I was being over-paranoid at forst but this has to be a send for Chipmunk surely ??!?!?!!
"If my mans FIRE I'm water ALIE, normally I'd get caught in a hype but right now I'm going NUMBER 1 so a hits the only thought in m mind".
Enjoy. I certainly did.

I don't care what anyone says. "He doesn't do grime any more" PISH POSH shut up ! The majority of his newer stuff has bordered around similar electronic and super bass-fulled sounds, just not around the tempo of 140BPM. See Road Rage for example. But anyways, I hope you watched the man himself on BBC's Electric Prom season a couple of weeks ago, for me, hair-on-stand activity !!

Best video of the year I think. I didn't think much of the song when the radio rip landed on youtube, but it's catchy. Official single released digitally December 14th. Oh, who saw Little Dee in the background ?? Check this out:
Brand new hood video from Ghetto. Seems he's back with a bang, "Calm Before The Storm" should be hitting stores soon not long before the album "Rebel With A Cause". I hope this is on there, along with "Artillery", the Z Dot produced BANGER. Listen on YouTube here.
Out to Lockdown Records.
This is a grime blog for those of you who may have missed any clues. I'm appreciative of many more musical sounds, it's just Grime is my 1st love and actually what I know most about. Long story short: I'm blogging something that's not all that Grime. It's bassy, but it ain't grime.

Target and Danny Weed have been successful within the grime scene, yet, not as extravagant and perhaps as "bait" as other producers. In the eye of the fans I mean, they're not running around all over Facebook and Grimeforum and in a good way, not as accessible. Target's constantly in the studio, making fresh bangers with the likes of his Roll Deep entourage or failing that he's behind the decks on BBC's 1XTRA playing the latest underground bangers. Danny Weed is doing pretty much the same (minus 1XTRA), but when you look back over his production CV it reveals a wider range of artists, from Wiley to Dogzilla, from Little Dee to Chipmunk and a host more.
Aim High is now in it's 4th phase, the previous 3 have provided a somewhat great listening experience, such as Crazy Titch destroying Weed's infamous "When I'm Ere" on Volume 2, O.T's somewhat strange sex education outing on "S.T.D's" (Volume 1) and a whole heap of hype bars from everyone on Target's masterpiece "Alligator" (Volume 3). But I'm telling you now, Volume 4 won't be as greezy and grimey. Expect some good music, but just not mixtape-like freestyles. I think the CD is a landmark for those wanting to see how the scene has evolved, there are freestyles, but more Mr.Sheen quality polished ones such as Kano & The Movement's (seperate) versions of "Activity". I spose there's something for everyone with a range of artists such as Devlin, Maxsta, Shola Ama, Roll Deep, Kerry Louise, Mercston plus many more.
Tracklisting
1. Rock N Roller (Clean)
2. Rock N Roller (Feat. Devlin & Chipmunk)
3. Rock N Roller (Feat. Devlin & Chipmunk) (Explicit)
4. Rock N Roller (Starkey Remix)
5. Rock N Roller (Vandalism Remix)
The original mix is a sad state of affairs. Whilst effort seems to have been genuinely put in on the production, riddling it back to front with auto-tune wasn't a smart move and if he (Kano) had stuck to the way in which he went in on the final verse (actually spitting, rather well) then I'm positive I would've found comfort within the tune. My opinion emulates on the remix further, Chipmunk took FULL liberties and proceeded to ruin the tune, which was opened rather nicely by none of then Devlin. "I'll lay a bet on the next to blow-'cos as well as aving septic flows-I'm white like December snow". The white boy from dagger could've done with a longer verse to be honest, it's good to see him working with someone of Kano's calibre (which is sadly ironic seeing as I'm informing you all of how shit his new single is) and London City the single is landing soon.
It's worldwide producer Starkey who manages to give a fantastic yet slightly thin thread of hope for the song, his remix incorporates a much grimier and fitting sound with his electronic bass-perfection. Check some more of his genius on ReverbNation.
If it wasn't for iTunes brilliant buy-what-you-want-and-not-what-you're-force-fed-by-CD-outlets-feature, then I wouldn't have attempted to purchase anything from this single.
The Deal: Buy tracks 3 and 4 from iTunes via this link.

When Lakey started a brand new Grime rave back in August, Russian Bar in Hackney played host to the likes of Dexplicit, P Money, Ears, Flirta D and Revolver.
Now the rave is back, it'll cost a fiver to get in (22:00 - 05:00), dress code is CASUAL but NO TRACKSUITS ! Check out the details right here on facebook.
DJ SPYRO INSTRUMENTAL SET WITH P MONEY & BLACKS
To be honest, it's worth it just for that set there. One of the country's leading underground DJ's with two of the grimiest grezzyest MC's about, what more do you want ?!!?
DJ SHREDEXX + LAKEY
The host himself takes to the stage alongside his DJ, expect A LOT of hype.
BKRAZEY Back To Back HAMPTON
Admittedly I don;t know too much about these guys other than the fact they do Dubstep. Which is page in my good books.
There's loads of other acts as well, look out for Ordio Kid if you're after some Garage, or if your one of them Funky skankers then Mayhem is FOR YOU.

As mentioned a while ago, I'm struggling finding to blog stuff, time-wise. The scene is moving tenfold the speed that I am right now, so here's some interesting bits !!
1. It wasn't an over long set, but Dexplicit passed through Kiss on Monday to talk about his brand new album DigiKinesis, and he brought along two of the albums stars, Black The Ripper and Stush.
Stush has been somewhat missing from the scene these days, much to my disappointment, she's working on her album now (with Island Records) so watch out for that. Black The Ripper's doing a lot these days, his name is seemingly all over the place, his latest venture "Samsum" is out on iTunes grab it now. But yeah anyways, I was particularly amused by Ripper's spitting, it's apparent he has a strong dislike for Master Shortie. And his Skinny Jeans. Download the set here. Buy the album here.
2.
With floods of big releases hitting HMV and the like at the moment, emphasis on trying to find some new, fresh talent has been put on hold. Make sure you download South London MC Skilzie's latest project, Prepare 2 Launch, it's a good batch of Music so check it out from either HERE or THERE.
3. Seeing as we're on the subject of new talent, Voltage, Maxsta and Nutcase have linked up once again to bring you the free mixtape: Certified Talent. Download it.

I can see Maxsta going far, very far. You can catch his BANGER "East London Is Back" on Aim High Volume 4, details of that CD can now be found on Grimepedia.
4. Finally, someone emailed me the other day asking me why I had changed blogs, and whether I had any new reviews or interviews coming up. Well here's some reviews
and on the interview front you can catch these soon- Former O.T producer, now dubstep DJ Rachet.
- Roll Deep's Brazen.
- Link Up ENT's Deadly Nightshade.
- TOP South London talent Sketchman
- and a whole lot more, including Devlin, sometime in December.
Big H needs no introduction to you lot, unless you've accidentally stumbled upon this article which I somewhat doubt. Either way.
Accountant, Bailiff, Gangster 4 Life, International Druglord, Organised Street Crime Manager, Assassin, Street Crime CEO & Bloodline Co CEO. That's the list of H's occupations according to his GrimePedia profile and if listeners are to believe everything they hear on this CD, Big Hater is not someone you wanna meet in a alleyway at night. Or day for that matter. People have waited a long time for this CD, a long time, so is this worth all the fuss ?
Bloodline have always enjoyed using beats from the let's say, lesser known producers. To some of you J Beatz will be one of those, but he's produced 3 tracks on this product and frankly, they are sick. "Life And Death" is a link up with old meridian crew pals Skepta and Bossman, "Assassin" seems almost perfectly effortless from H (catch the instrumental on his EP) and "Nitemare" made me take a baseball bat to every window in sight.
Overall, Street Crime UK is a good CD, covering some topics other MC's would be too scared to nowadays. One thing though, DO NOT expect the original boy-better-know-er to be spitting about his Rolex, Bentley, Ringtone, Number Ones anytime soon, nor will he be Ooopsy Daisying anything. GOOD. Buy it here.

"Streets And Crime" outlines well what this CD has to offer, as does "Alone" where H claims he is the "king of grime mc on the throne". "No Fear" sounds really good, the beat is something special, and talking of such beats Skepta's hand on "Hooligan" is literally a MUD-TING. Got to be one of the best tunes from this year !!! The intro to "White Wash" (listen via youtube on the right) provides a brilliant 5 seconds of laughter, as one of them dodgy adverts you hear on Kiss 100 is sampled and then from there on, it's mental.
