South London's Female rising star of UK Rap Shaybo is back from her brief break with this thorough Freestyle for Clear vision media and as well as a whole new look Shaybo wastes no time showing she hasn't lost a step as far as bars and flow are concerned.
One of the UK's hottest and most thorough Female MC's Baby Blueis back with the video to her latest Banger Play which is the first official video to be taken from her forthcoming debut album of the same title and which should be featuring some of the biggest names in the UK and US and promises to have some of the hottest UK Rap,Grime and a few suprises. Look out for more from Baby Blue coming soon.
In the History of Female MC's in Grime and UK Rap Nolay stands out as easily one of the most talented writers of our time. I am legend serves as a prelude to Her forthcoming album He said she said :I am bad and this serves as not only a reminder of the levels Nolay plays at but also a return to real lyricism and writing.
Her confident raw lyricism as well as her ability to chop and change flows effortlessly led to Nolay being able to heat up a variety of different instrumentals and genres with a range of different topics including Her real life experiences which she use's to teach others. I am Legend starts with the extremely impressive Title track which sees Nolay spitting bars over a Triumphant Horn based instrumental which sets the tone with No Lay dropping lines like ("I got a Mount Everest flow for you my rhymes are peak,In times you'll see who's got the crown and who's the Queen")
and that's a sentiment that is resounded through out this mixtape.
Tracks to check out are the impressive Spartan (Remix),Nolays Revenge,Satisfaction Freestyle,Big Time and many more bangers which showcase Nolay at her finest peppering tracks with nothing but hard bars and an unstoppable flow which she is definitely 110% in control of.
I am Legend does suffer from two underwhelming tracks which DJ Limelight should have removed as Ride or Die and Game Done take from the overall appeal of the project but not enough to be too serious a problem as the rest of this mixtape is straight fire. Monsta Freestyle sees Nolay Remixing Giggs latest track and using it for a lyrical workout dropping lines like ("I go in harder than an under threat barrer who's trying to save the life of himself,wife, mother,brother and father")
I am legend also has some snippets from Nolays forthcoming album 'He said she said-I am bad" including 4321,Drugs and A fool which give you a taste of what's coming next and That's nothing but more good music from one of the UK's most talented Lyricists.
I am Legend Shows Nolay still ain't to be fucked with on the mic and that her Debut Album He sais,she said: I am bad is going to be one of the better albums of 2011. 9/10
this mixtape is Christmas to any fan of lyricism.
Shimmer is back with a quick hood video for this track called 'untitled' and goes in on an extremely dark beat dropping Some hard bars dropping an original and unorthodox flow with some scathing hot bars for her detractors ("Only God can judge and I'm too high for hell,You can tell from my frame The Lord he wished me well,so screw you bitches and screw you well! only time will tell I signed a test and I wont fail")
Shimmer is an artist who is definitely carving out her own niche in UK Rap and you will be hearing a lot more from in her 2011 so for those of you that don't understand or cant respect an artists creativity (or just like to hate) Pow,pow,pow,pow!
No Lay is back with two new tracks her version of the infamous Tinchy stryder track 'Game over' gets a full reworking as well as a new track'big time' No Lay easily one of the best female MC's in the UK and although she has taken a considerable amount of time out of the game the West Londoner hasn't lost a step in terms of Grime and UK rap as these two tracks prove.If you are new to No Lay then I strongly advise you google the track 'No help or hand outs' by Unorthadox to realise how far ahead of her time she was with her flow and delivery.
It should be good to see a return to the Grime music from No Lay as She ranks highly in my top 5 females but you be the judge,what do you think?
