Pharoahe Monch – Shine feat. Mela Machinko
Pharoahe Monch returns with his first single since 2007’s excellent album Desire, with a new single “Shine”. Diamond D‘s production and Mela Machinko’s singing provide the perfect backdrop for Pharoahe Monch to give us the perfect appetiser for his forthcoming album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades). Lookout for Pharoahe Monch’s W.A.R. which will be Continue Reading
Gucci Mane feat. Talib Kweli – Poltergeist
Of all artists to collaborate, I never thought I’d see Gucci and Kweli on the same track. Despite all fears, the collabo works and Talib Kweli adds a different energy lifting the track. Expect “Poltergeist” to feature on Gucci Mane’s next mixtape, which should be out soon judging by his Continue Reading
Busta Rhymes feat. T.I., Cam’ron, Ghostface Killah & DMX – Stop The Party (Remix)
One of the biggest tunes of the year gets a star studded remix. Dj Khaled take note; you don’t need to go overboard with the features to have a strong lineup for the remix. What is Iron Man without Tony Starks? Good to see Ghosface Killah in the mix. FREE DOWNLOAD: Busta Rhymes Continue Reading
Bashy – Fantasy
Since releasing his debut album Catch me If You Can Bashy has taken many steps forward; acting, releasing clothing and working with artists such as the Gorillaz.

M.I.A. feat. Nicki Minaj – Teqkilla (Remix)
M.I.A. just unleashed this beast, produced by Rusko, M.I.A., Switch and John Hill. The production on this is crazy and Nicki Minaj just complements the rest of the song. I have a feeling that M.I.A.’s new album is gonna be something special. ///Y/ (MAYA) is released on July 12th and can be Continue Reading
Mercston – Pathway feat Slix (HD Video)
Merctson’s new single “Pathway” got the video treatment courtesy of Chas Appeti, who did a good job with the video. The beat sounds like it’s building up to a drop, that never happens, but it works. Merctson’s album should be something to look forward to based on this. “Pathway” is Continue Reading
Maxsta feat. Griminal – East London Is Back 2
Kano‘s remix to Maxsta’s ode to East London was good but Griminal went in on this one. I am not from East London but can appreciate good bars when I hear them. Chipmunk claimed to be the Grime scenes saviour but if anyone can make that claim at the moment Continue Reading
Waka Flocka Flame feat Ciara – Hard in the Paint (Remix)
Ciara joined Wacka Flocka Flame (what kinda name is that?) for the remix to his latest single “Hard In The Paint”, produced by Lex Luger. More of the same from Flocka and what seems to be a mixture of a rap and singing verse from Ci Ci, with a small Continue Reading
