Good day. New Roots Manuva slated for early 2005... and an advance single "double draft" to download at http://www.rootsmanuva.co.uk/ starting nov 15 (for 99p, wtf? Who decided that was a good idea?)

The "Check It" tune Roots did for Skitz' homegrown mix earlier this year was pretty special. Apparently Twang has now finally finished "Rotton Club", so we could be in for a pretty bumper few months at the start of the 05.

Akira the Don.... I've now heard him. "Drinking Song" is g8, but doesn't that style get somewhat weary over an entire album? I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt for now, though.

Oh, and I'm calling "Pit Closure" as UKHH album of the year. His grime tune really needs to be heard to be believed...

Jim Screech! He combines hip-hop and reggae, just imagine!

Saw him supporting Roots Manuva about a month back and he was pretty good.

the only DEF stuff i have via ninja, i.e. the ADHD ep, is not hip hop at all !!?

mark e, Friday, 24 February 2017 22:04 (seven years ago) link

yeah he calls his stuff 'urban electronic' whether it's more straight techno or hip-hop

fuck though, the 'don't freak out' mixtape is nextlev, u gotta hear it, some of the best production in the universe and generally exemplary collabs

his track on the first Danny Brown record was pretty hot

if I could narrow it down to one track, 'brown + clear' ft chynna is...incendiary

imago, Friday, 24 February 2017 22:19 (seven years ago) link

oh and he was responsible for this

I think this is Abra Cadabra's first solo track and it's an absolute banger

Most of the drill I've heard hasn't really done anything for me, all the beats sound the same (yeah I'm old). This one's good though. Carns Hill seems to be the best producer around AFAIK

Coming soon to a Fifa soundtrack near you

I think this is the first Brummie rap track I've ever heard

paolo, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link

you've not heard lady leshurr?

imago, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link

Oh yeah I forgot about her. And Mist :(

paolo, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 17:19 (six years ago) link

Surely you've heard 'She Wants A Man From Brum'?

Matt DC, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 17:33 (six years ago) link

That's grime not rap. Jaykae and Dapz On The Map are the only Brummie grime MCs who I rate

paolo, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 10:09 (six years ago) link

this is good tho - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6J9CT5Byqc

Dave has the best rapper name. Also excellent taste in jumpers

67 go a bit more pop on this one (relatively speaking)

Brummie drill

paolo, Sunday, 7 January 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link

In pretty much every drill video there's guys rapping with their mouths covered. Do they just dance about in front of the mic for the video and then add the vocals on later or what
