Stylahs back with a smash 'Killa' features Smiler and is what a UK banger is supposed to be,this track produced by show n prove is a fast paced energetic track with both MCs sounding as hungry as a pair of newcomers with each spitting fire with each bar Stylah spitting("You breddas are etch - a - sketch and on a small scale like a scaletrix set,Im the most hectic yet ,got my own movement like Scorcher,Wretch and Ghetts!!!") with Smiler following with heat like ("Niggas never ask if Smiles down they know I got to eat like where the plate B certain niggas spitting on my name but they slyly rate me smile in my grill on-line their faisty!")
Add this to a top Video from Digital Dan and you got all the makings of a Classic.

UNTOUCHABLE - GORRILLA SAWNOFF, PROPANE, JOE BLACK, BENNY BANKS

Here's a hard body link up track featuring some of the UKs most thorough street lyricists on one track 'Untouchable' sees Birmingham's Gorrilla Sawnoff and North London's Joe Black,Propane and Benny Banks.
Each artist definitely reps hard on this soulful instrumental,This is more proof of the levels UK hiphop have reached this year as the flows plus lyricism on this track are way above par.

HAZE - I PUT IN - OFFICIAL VIDEO

Fresh off the back of his smash with Max.B 'Profiling' Haze is back with this banger 'I Put In' featuring some hardcore production with a blaxplotation feel and Haze dropping some insightful bars in his useuall cool and collected flow with the Eurogang affiliate spitting bars like ("What happens in the Sky's Fam thats a mystery,Barack becoming president thats uplifting me,the truths in the skys got to set us free,see the truths in my eyes come and rescue me!") This is the third top quality track plus visual that Haze has dropped in as many months,Looks like his positioning himself as a definite contender in this UK rap game.

REVIEW: MOBOS TOUR - LONDON



                                                    Diva Ash with Jammer and Footsie 
Diva Ash with Scorcher
                                                           Diva Ash with Chipmunk



Tuesday the 19th saw the Mobo Tour stop in London and I have to say it was pretty sick for a tuesday night affair we got their in time to catch Scorcher on stage performing to a crowd who knew each and every word of 'Its my time' after some extreme crowd participation from Scorcher it was time for Agro Santos to take to the stage and he also offered up an energetic and bouncy set and although it was well received it wasn't nothing to write home about.
After a brief break in Festivities it was time for Donaeo to get things lively and he did in a big way performing all his monster hits although it would have been nice to see him performing some new material although his live set still left the crowd fully satisfied.
Following that many hot performances can't be easy but from the moment the Hosts announced the name Skepta the crowd went into a frenzy as Skeppy ran through a few new tracks as well as the 'Hello goodmorning remix' and 'Badboy' which the crowd lapped up and without missing a beat DJ Maximum dropped the show stopper '2 many man' at which point Skepta was joined by JME,Shorty BBK and Frisco and it was definitely one of the hightlights of the night and had the whole venue singing("too many man,too many many man") which was followed by another surprise performance from Preeya Kalidas who joined Skepta to perform 'Cross my heart' which also went down well.
Off all the nights I've been to this year this stands out as one of the best organised and well put together shows I have attended,although it would have been nice to have one or two more edgy artists perform,But then you can't have everything! Anyhow heres a few videos from the night!

Skepta ft Preeya Kalidas - Cross my heart



Skepta,Jme,Frisco,Shorty BBK - Too many man

ILL MILL - LIVING MY LIFE


Ill Mills back with another Slice of that real South London Rap which he has played a pivotal role in creating and keeping at a level which many in the game still find very hard to match 'Living my life' finds a very introspective Mill with him dropping bars on how he has to be a role model to his daughter as well as him missing his incarcerated comrades, as well as the state of the streets at the moment with lines like.
("I'm from an era where its old school,but nowadays all the kids use the pro tools,tools,and i aint talking bout no pro tools,Im talking fire arms mac tens chrome tools")
Check it out!
