Mike GLC is back with a new mixtape Remember Me .2 (Rightful King) which is another solid body of work and a thorough slice of UK Rap music minus the bullshit with Mike collaborating with some of the scenes hottest street lyricists including Meridian Dan, Big H, Big Narstie, Young Spray, English Frank, Scorcher, Paper Pabs and many more with the collabs all bringing an authentic feeling.

I'm not entirely sure whether this is a forthcoming Mini movie or music video or both but I do know Mike GLC has waited gracefully to tell his side of the story and hopefully the world will get a chance to hear him out as well as learn from the cautionary tale of deceit and the lack of loyalty he has received from former N Dubz singer and X Factor judge Tulisa whom he once considered his little Sister.

Dappy Boasts He's Rich Just Days After Going To Bankruptcy Court [News]

We know you’ve all been worried about Dappy after he was kicked in the face by a horse and then had to beg a bankruptcy court for more time to pay his tax bill. But stop worrying. He’s laughing about the horse incident and boasting that he’s rich. We love a happy ending. And there’s nothing a tax man likes more than seeing someone who owes them thousands claiming they’re rolling in the stuff. This has all turned out for the best and no one had to degrade themselves by appearing on a reality TV show *sound of record scratching to a halt*.

All this news comes from the slackjawed cockspanner himself. He’s having a bit of a day on Twitter because he’s just premiered his new single called Animal. It’s terrible. No, really terrible. Not an ordinary, Radio 1 playlist kind of terrible. This is jaw-on-the-floor, has-everyone-gone-insane, it’s-just-an-idiot-shouting-rubbish terrible.

Have a listen…

N-Dubz star Fazer is 'Declared Bankrupt' [News]

N-Dubz rapper Fazer is broke after being unable to pay his tax bills.

According to The Sun, official records show that the star, 26, was made bankrupt earlier this month.

If the star he fails to pay the unknown amount, he risks losing his share of a £796,500 North London flat he bought with Tulisa, who he dated for over 18 months until their split last year.  

The producer, whose real name is Richard Rawson, became a father for the first time in February when his model partner Ashley Emma gave birth to a girl, Ava Rose Rawson.

Fazer formed N-Dubz alongside Dappy and former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, 25, with the band announcing a two-year break for solo projects in 2011.

Meanwhile, Tulisa is due to appear at Westminster magistrate court on Thursday, charged with supplying cocaine. 

A probe by The Sun on Sunday reported that she allegedly set up an £800 deal to supply half an ounce of the drug.

Meanwhile bandmate Dappy is reportedly going into the Celebrity Big Brother house after he appeared at a bankruptcy hearing over an unpaid tax bill earlier this month.

The N-Dubz rapper, 26, is planning to star on the next series of the Channel 5 reality TV show, which starts on January 3, 2014, The Sun reports.

Dappy, whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos, has denied bankruptcy claims, tweeting: ‘WTF is all this bullshhhhhhh in the Paper!!!!!! I just got a quarter of a Mill!!!! Plus my New record deal is on Da Table!!! #FarFromB.’

He added: ‘I got doe (dough) now and always will have!!!!!! If your talented you'll always be financially stable!!!!!’

The star, who has been recovering after being kicked in the face by a horse, has previously criticised reality TV shows.

He said: ‘No way would I go on one of them. They're the kiss of death. You go on I'm A Celeb or Celebrity Big Brother when your career is fading away. It's a disgrace!’

Wiley talks to The Guardian [Interview]

Wiley: 'I did a tune for Ed Sheeran, but he didn't want to do one for me'

Hi, Wiley. You're often credited as the godfather of grime. Does this mean you can have people brutally bumped off?

Um, no. I think the reason they say "godfather" is that if music is like a youth club, I keep people together.

You initially called grime "Eskibeat" and released songs called Eskimo, Avalanche, Ice Rink and Snowman. Why did you think your music might appeal to Eskimos?

That was just my noise. Dizzee was making his Dirtee Stank beats. So I named the beats I was making Eski beats.

Surely Eskimos would have trouble listening to your music – where are you supposed to plug in a stereo in an igloo anyway(1)?

It's not Eskimo, isn't Inuit (2) what you say? I'm not sure if they heard it but I'm sure that they could understand the cold.

You had a single called Wearing My Rolex. I often leave my watches on people's draining boards after the unlikely event I've done the washing up. Then again, my watch only cost £9.99. Is one more careful with a Rolex?

No way. I'll treat this watch like it was 5p, let alone £10.

Where's the strangest place you've left it?

On a girl's wrist.

You also had a single called Pies. Please can we quickly review some pies. 1) Those Fray Bentos pies you get in tins from the garage.

Ah, they're top, like old school. They used to do sweet ones with apple pie inside for pudding.

2) Pork pies? Also a type of hat.

Yeah, they're good.

3) Pie charts.

Nah, I don't know what that is.

Reading on mobile? Watch here

Who would you most like to hit in the face with a custard pie at this precise moment? Me?

Not you, you ain't done nothing. I'm not in a bad mood today. Tomorrow, maybe.

You had another song called Cash in My Pocket. At what point did you decide to go from writing about Eskimos to writing about things you might think about when you leave the house: Am I Wearing my Rolex? How Much Cash Have I Got in My Pocket? Oops, Where's My Bus Pass?

I make beats, not write songs. But I'm with you. What's next, you mean?

Yes. Is your next single called, Hang on, I think I've Left the Iron On?

No, my next song is going to be, in that vein [thinks for ages], She Took My Car. "She took my car/ I'm ringing her/ She's not answering."

Is this the same girl who tried to steal your Rolex?

No, this would be a different one.

Tsk. Women, eh? The BBC reported you'd died in 2008 but you still seem to be alive. Er, are you the resurrection?

It wasn't the BBC (3). I laughed even though it wasn't funny. I thought: "I'm flipping alive." If I had died, it wouldn't have been funny.

You fell out with N-Dubz. (4) How come?

I did a song for them and when it was their turn to return the favour, they just didn't. Do you know the truth? I just wasn't in their bracket. I would have had to be getting No 1s with them at the time. I understand that now.

You've also fallen out with Ed Sheeran. What's wrong with Ed? He's doing his best despite everything.

I did a tune for him, he didn't want to do one for me. I know Ed doesn't hate me and I don't hate him. When you get to a certain level you're not allowed to work with people who are not on your level. That's the problem.

You also failed to turn up to a gig at the University of Warwick claiming you'd been in a car crash, but later revealed you were "tired". Fair enough, tiredness causes accidents.

F them, F that question, F you and F everyone! I'd just got back from Australia and I've got jet lag, get with the programme.

Rap quiz! Which of the following are acts you've been associated with, and which are brands of mouthwash?

Plague? Worked with him. Flow Dan? Worked with him. Oral B? That's the mouthwash. Major Ace? Worked with him. Scorcher? Worked with him. Colgate? Toothpaste. Slimzee? Worked with him. Listerine. Mouthwash. Who done that?

Me!

That's clever.

Thanks, Wiley. Wile E Coyote uses ACME instant holes and just-add-water booby-traps to catch The Roadrunner (5). Ever wish you had Wile E's arsenal to help you on a day-to-day basis?

No. He never catches him. That's why I didn't want to be that Wiley, that Wiley gets too much hassle. If I want to catch me a bird, I don't need all that trouble.

Neil's Saturday Night Workout [Dizzee Rascal,Lethal B,Will Westwood die?,Chip,Tulisa & More [Blog]

*Its been a while since I blogged, got to be honest part of me is worried people dont read anymore and just want to watch Youtube? Lets prove some heads wrong..*

* Big up Dizzee Rascal all day long, but who the fuck dresses him? Surely he didnt choose that god damn awful sunglasses and shirt combo in the new DJ Fresh video?! I was watching MTV Base the other day and 'Top Ten of Dizzee' was on, and I guess he's always dressed awful if ' I Luv U' is anything to go by...

*Speaking of dress sense, is Lethal B better at marketing than he is MCing? Love Bizzle, but are people just booking him now off this 'Dench' / 'Leave It Yeah' hype, because lets face it, his last few singles have been dreadful. Saying that, all I see is him doing club shows in places like Hull, so maybe he aint doing anything apart from filling up my Twitter timeline.

*Nothing wrong with club nights though, they are where you can make easy money and win alot of new fans. I saw a certain 'Hard Man' UK Rapper from South London at Oceania Birmingham not too long ago. He was on the smallest podium I've ever seen and his hype man didnt even have a mic, just threw hand signs at the double up bits. I'm laughing just thinking about this..

*Heard Wiley's new summer tune on Annie Mac's radio one show last week,didn't really like it although the chorus is catchy as Hell,that said his recent run of freestyles (Step 1,Step 2...) are the already Legendary.

*Staying with radio, when Tim Westwood dies (because lets face it he will never retire) is Charlie Sloth next to step up? The guys moved on leaps and bounds the past year, his Radio One show is brilliant and truly represents the street movement on commercial radio. What ever happened to Semtex? Has he fell off that hard?! Or is it all politics?

* Is there any truth in this rumor I'm hearing that Bradley from S Club 7 now Works in Nando's?

* Although there were mixed views on the tracklisting for UK Rap Vol 1,its good to see the genre represented on that level without getting in to the old 'Isnt any Mcing Mcing' debate. Hopefully it will do well as a release and lead to more UK Rap in stores on a professional level

* Will the Whos Da The Boss Grime Battles ever take place or was it just another myth?

* Ciper Jewels is producing and working with MC's again. This guy made the soundtrack to my hip hop beginnings..

* I miss Skinnyman

* Watched Kidulthood randomly on Netflix. Still as good as ever, but how big is the soundtrack?! Jehst 'Water Torture' is amazing

* Still cant get my head round why Chip (Munk) is on the Sky Sports 'Hard Knocks' rugby advert?! Fair play to Chip, hes made massive moves in the states with Grand Hustle and if his London Boy mixtape is half as good as Spazzed.com then its gonna be a problem. I cant even talk about his Fire in the Booth its that good..

* I've said it for years, but the biggest rappers in this country SHOULD be S.A.S. ! Their new Narnia EP is huge, and I cant get Super Mario Bros off my Iphone. I still to this day play their old Streets All Salute material and alot of the young MC's could learn alot from this.

* Why was Drake tweeting about Chelsea again? Stop clutching and get a better support on your tour than Labrynth

* FUCK ME SKEPTA'S NEW SONG IS HORRIBLE! Love the guy, but jesus, stop listening to your label for single choices!!

* Also loving Mikill Paine's new EP, I admire his networking with his guests on there. Still charged him to get into my club night in Brum when he was out on the lash after he was supporting Rizzle Kicks though...thats my hustle..

* I had to unfollow Sox on Twitter, couldnt handle the RT's! Im hearing hes booked to be at Global Gathering though this Summer? That's massive if true, even if the line up virtually is the same as last year..

*Good to see Rio's latest SBTV video on the net last week, rate him. The new Bashy video is sick aswell. Sad to see LowKey put the mic down though, been a fan for years from my days reading Hip Hop Connection magazine and being a 'backpack' rap fan. Fingers crossed its just a break and he's back before the end of the year.

* If you dragged a wank out of the Tulisa 'sex tape' then you have major issues...I cracked up at Big Narstie's reply the other day!

* If you were an MMA fighter what track what you come out to?

*If you dont have Lady Leshur's 2000 and L mixtape on your itunes then why are you even a fan of music?

*Admit it, you clicked on Tinchy's last video off his Wish List EP in sympathy didnt you?

Be sure to follow @Neilleedham on Twitter and look out for next week's Saturday Night WorkOut.
