Bloodline 'Family Business' which is hosted by Dj Limelight is one of the better christmas releases with 12 hot Grime and HipHop tracks from the entire Bloodline family including Big H,President T,Paper Pabz,Boss Man Birdie and 9 Millie major all doing their thing and repping their brand of Street Grime to the fullest which is where Bloodline are at their finest and there aren't any Female vocals or Weak electro pop attempts here,Its nothing but the hardest in Grime with each MC sounding as on point as ever which will definitely keep Bloodline fans warmed up untill the release of Big H's eagerly awaited Album 'Fire and Smoke' and Paper Pabs 'Cash over Gash 2' which are both coming in 2011 as well as a President T release.
Some of the biggest tracks on 'Family Business' are 'Urban Nightmare','Transport for London','Violate','Drink' and 'Bloodline 8'
If your a Bloodline fan or just a fan of real street Grime this is definitely for you.
Maveric has dropped a free mixtape featuring some of the young Grime Mcs biggest tracks of last year including collaborations with Tinchy stryder,Rapid,Doller Da Dustman,Yellow man,Double S,Fudaguy and more.The East Londoner has also added Black Clouds which was one of the tracks that set forums alight earlier this year.It should be interesting to see what Maveric drops in 2011 as he has a lot of talent as this mix tape proves.
This new diss track 'On whatever' see's ex Roll Deep MC Trim going in on the entire Bloodline camp Big H,President T and Paper Pabs with Trim doing his best to annihilate them and he does a good job of it jumping straight in on the track with lines like ("I seen bigger weights in the gym") - Big H,("Who's Pabs and who said whos face needs a lift?") - Paper Pabs, ("Who's the black one who looks like his Mum had a son with Eartworm Jim?") - ?,("There ain't a good flow between the three of you so catch my drift") amongst other hot talk he has for the Bloodline trio.
All in al this is a good look for Grime music in general as the past year has seen a little bit too much kissing and making up ans the games lacking its original energy and rawness,Hope fully Bloodline should reply as it will be good to see these MCs go at it.
Change is the latest single taken from Exo's Power of the pound mixtape,which is one of the better UK Rap mixtapes released in 2010 and is a banger of a track which see's the U.S.G member going in on a sick Epic sounding instrumental and riding for his team and letting you know his team are riding for him.
If you haven't heard Power of the Pound you should do so immediately as you wont be disappointed.The levels are high and so is the standard of the music.
Also look out for Unique Street Garments (as seen in the video) coming in 2011.
Pak-man is back with another slice of raw reality UK rap with his latest track 'Highs and Lows' which is an introspective track and finds Pak-man questioning the street life and how long it lasts which is something very few UK rappers actualy touch on especially 'Road' artists,Hopefully this should be something we will see more often in 2011 as there needs to be a balance in the music and its good to see Pak-man leading the movement.
Look out for Ahead of my time coming soon from Pak-Man
(Shouts to UKOverstood!)
Lloyd Banks came to the UK a few weeks back and we were lucky enough to catch this live performance of his track 'Start it up' which absolutely tore the roof off the house and although there were no surprise appearances from Kanye West,Swizz Beats,Fabolous or Ryan Leslie it was still a good look to have him bring that much energy with his performance.
Lloyd Banks 'Hunger for More part 2' Is available on I tunes now
I got to say a big shout to all the I Records for hooking me up with exclusive 10 minute intensive hardbodied UK Rap freestyle session featuring Don Strapzy,Young Mad B,Stainer,Carnage and Zion who all go in with some extremely impressive bars which let you know why this year Strapzy,Young Mad B and Zion will be problems in the music industry as well as new comers Stainer and Carnage who are definitely talented and display this clearly.
Check out Young Mad B's newest release 'Only one me' available now on i tunes with its debut single being 'Supa guy' and Don Strazy aka Dru Blue with his latest release 'Blue Steel' both are top quality offerings from two of UK Raps brightest talents and 2011 should see both step to the next level as they both have what it takes as you can tell by this freestyle.
As promised Footsie has released the Rasta man Pickney E.P which is a free download and features 4 hot Grime tracks from 1 part of the Newham generals, 3 instrumentals and 1 vocal track the instrumentals are cold with my favourite being Cuss Cuss,but Hold on and the Rastaman Pickney instrumentals are also hard pieces of work.
Expect a lot from Footsie in 2011 and remeber to check out the Bag of grease Album whic is available on i-tunes
If you follow twitter you will have noticed a storm brewing which started Monday morning due to Joe Black offering up the question "Which two rappers in the UK can beat him and Benny Banks?" Ill Mill from SAS answered and the rest is history as the words got more harsh and had the whole time line locked into the same argument.Fast forward a few days and Fee Fee has jumped into the Booth and put together this scathing diss track which he has some harsh words for Joe black,Benny Banks,Chipmunk and Stryder as well as Shot a Propane and a video to the track which is humorous and well executed.Look out for more from this ongoing saga
King apparel have got UK Urban music impresario Joseph 'JP' Patterson(XXL magazines UK Blogger) to do a end of year best of Urban uk music mixtape compiled by JP and mixed by DJ Complex and it looks like one of the biggest mixtapes so far this year featuring the best in Grime and UK Rap,everyone one here including D Double E,P Money,GIGGS,Ghetts,Dot Rotten,Black the Ripper,Big Narstie,Big H,MIK,Kozzie as well as a ton of instrumentals from the likes of Chase and Status,DJ Spooky,Teddy,Rudekid and more.Definitely worth downloading!

Vigorous productions Fee Fee is an artist who's work rate I have to commend as the South Londoner is regularly in the booth dropping hot tracks or engineering projects for others within his crew or affiliates and 2010 has seen him dropping a lot of hood videos,Solo tracks and collaborations with other artists as well as the release of his debut mixtape Me,Myself and Fee which is available for free download [CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD] Fee Fee is a street rapper who's flow and delivery are head and shoulders above many other Up and coming artists and in all honesty probably better than a lot of rappers out now and as Ive said before he might be the future of the South.
Expect big things from Fee Fee in 2011 as he has a few more mixtapes to drop and then its all about his debut album.One to watch in 2011.
This track Soldiers from Eurogang featuring Gemany's Kollegah and its a good European link up with Mega,Mayhem,Bigz,SK Villain and Haze all going in and doing their thing alongside Kollegah who rips his verse.This video has had me thinking that its actually time for a Eurogang album,hopefully this is something we should get in 2011.
P Money live in Nottingham with DJ Sukh Knight at what looks like a student night have to big up camera man sketch cos he get s about still,in this set P Money drops all his trademark lyrics as well as ripping up the Woooo riddim live and has the crowd reciting word for word which is further proof of his growing appeal as if you have noticed over the past year I have seen the OGz front liner tear down raves all over the UK which is always a good sign.
Expecting big things from P Money and the OGz in 2011
Rival has dropped a video to the track Homicide Writer taken off his latest release Return of the Rivs and is a hot video directed by Risky from Risky Roads
A very good interview by Street Deciplez online in which Don Strapzy talks about his entrance to the music game,his influences,his new mixtape Blue steel and more in this extremely candid interview.
Blue Steel is available now on I-tunes
Young Mad B has dropped the video to the first single Supa Guy from his new album 'Only 1 Me' which was released at midnight in conjunction with the video directed by Digital Dan and sees Young Mad B in a club scenario with some very hot ladies as he gets slick with a fine female with bars like ("and she doesn't believe,keeps telling me I'm in love with the streets,no choiceI feed her a lie tell her, I'm changed I'm in love with the beats")
Supa Dupa is a hot club banger and has a very catchy hook which will do well on radio as well as the clubs.
also look out for cameos from Jaja Soze and Don Strapzy.
Avalanch is a Grime Mc who's name should be ringing bells in 2011 as he has a lot to offer the game as well as his producer Relentless who is very hot on the boards and they work well together as is showcased on this 5 track E.P
Check out the impressive Supertmalt freestyle,What im about and Try a ting which should give a small taste of whats to come from Avalanch and Relentless in the future
