Lethal B's single 'Uh Oh' is released this week. Make sure you go to HMV and walk straight past it like i did today.



Radio 1's Chris Moyles loves 'the avenue' by Roll Deepin' Squad. "So bad it's brilliant" apparently. Wasteman.



What happens when your brehs switch on you and start callin out names and then Logan Sama decides to send for you too?

This is what happens

Showerface.

MP3: Meridian crew on that cockney rascal, Logan Sama's, swaggish kiss fm show

MP3: Sizzla - Solid as a Rock (Never Scared Riddim)

Big bars for these turbulent times.



MP3: Vex'd - Fire

I'm using these brehs' album as the soundtrack to the 'war'.



MP3: Sidewinder - South Version

You've all heard the Roll Deep/Ruff Sqwad version, but this one's big too.

MP3: Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

The Gemma Fox of her day. Gyal's got bare harmonies. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up on a grime track. (have you heard tinchy stryder's version of 'uptown girl'?)

It's showerman time

I'm gonna stick 50p each way on 'em for the mercury music prize. Guaranteed to make Ps.



MP3: Gangsta Boo - Sippin' and Spinnin' (Dirty DocJam Remix)

Chopped Chipmunk-Barbershop-Crunk-Soul stolen from some lemon.

If I could smoke this song, I would. Not smoke it. I mean, if I could roll it up and get high off it, I would.



MP3: Virus Syndicate - Wasted

I got a 7 track promo of the album a while ago. To be honest, I wasn't overly keen on it. They stuck all the boring ones on there. The new video has swung my opinion though and I bought the album last week. I think the production's a bit too good. It's a shame more of the tracks don't sound like the opening few seconds of this song. It's a big album (in the game) though.

Here's some proper grimey Manchester action:

MP3: Manchester Grime Showcase

DJ RYZEE B2B WITH DJ LAYZA

MCs: MURK DON, RECNEPS, KILLA, MST, MANIAC, SHIFTY, SLAYER & SHAFFI

MP3: Sizzla - That's ok

Liking Chrome riddim again.

I love the way Sizzla says 'my my' at the beginning.

Matt Shadetek has an exclusive grime remix by Ratty from Hothead's cousin. Cock. (haha...only joking {see what i did there...}).



MP3: Faith SFX etc. @ Fabrics (sic)

Every man and his dog seems to be appearing with this beatboxing guy. Listen out for Eskimo. Some skets at the end of the clip too.

DJ Lioness' blog is off the meat rack right now. Way better than all of the wasteman blogs out there, mentioning no names.



It's free before 9 too.

I'm polishing my crunk chalice in preparation.

Call out my name, call out my name, call out my name. Soundboy, call out my name

Mans calling out my name!?!

I'm not having it.

I rang Skepta earlier, (I do actually have his number) but he didn't answer cos I rang from a private number.

So, I then rang him back about 15 times, and when ge eventually answered, I told him that I had beef and he ensured me that he was gonna back it. Phew!

I'm gonna have to get Wiley to write some war bars for me too.



Roll Deep were performing on Popworld this morning. Echoes of Blazin' Squad.

Popworld isn't even funny anymore. Miquita Oliver gets air. All she does is laugh. Simon needs to step up his game. He used to be the biggest wannabe-popstar merker on road.



MP3: Lethal B - Against All Oddz

Probably the best track on Lethal's new album. If you're wondering why the production is a lot better than you expected, it's because it's a Plasticman track called 'Funeral Vibes'.

The album is ok. Lethal's got a big new catchphrase: "promotional use only". It's like the new "pow". He uses 3 or 4 times in every song.

MP3: Notorious B.I.G. & Frank Sinatra - Nasty Boy / For every man there's a woman

Kanye West & Shirley Bassey; Eminem & Dido; Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue; PJ & Duncan. This collabo is bigger than all of those.



MP3: DJ Garna, Skepta, Grizzly, Manga & Krafty on Manic FM

Big mix from Plasticman's Cha VIP to Mark One: 'Plodder'. I'm gonna steal that mix idea for myself when the 12"s are finally released.

Virus Syndicate and body language

Virus Syndicate, "Slow Down"

It's a good video, but Mark One needs to work on his gun fingers. Not "road" enough for my liking. Read below for a full analysis.



Right, schoolboy error right off the bat from Mark here, the hand has been thrown too early, before anyone has even started rhyming in fact. It's the first thing you learn: Don't bust a move before the fat man starts talking.





School boy errors. Every one of them. Now watch and learn:





Here's the pre-throw, something that a lot of youngsters these days overlook, but without a good build-up you're building your throw on weak foundations. Look at this, great elevation, good solid angles on the arms, nice hand positioning – it's got all the makings of a classic throw.





This is beautiful combination work from Nika D here, throwing the gunpoint and the chop, elbows level, full of conviction – he's a model for the younger generation coming through.



You just can't argue with this one, it's clear that hours on the training park have paid off, just look at that conviction. I know that I'd hand over my wallet!

I'm really trying hard to understand wtf tinchy stryder is saying in this mix i'm listening to, but i can't. Something about clashing Ears on LOTM 2..

MP3: Jools MF - I Need Your Love

Beck's version of "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes" gets the glitch-hop treatment, but I actually like it. This is stolen from a girl called Sophie. She is grimey because she was at the id magazine grime night about 4 months ago at Cargo reviewing Lady Sovereign's "performance". (Sov was actually pretty good live). This isn't related to the above song at all.

Anyway, at this id thing, (i'm not sure if i've mentioned it before...have i mentioned it?) I went and stood next to Logan Sama while Adam 7 year glitch was talking to him. Logan's girlfriend was blatantly giving me the eye. I was like "listen girl, I'm not like that, Logan's a friend". Not really, but she wanted me.

Then, I went up to Ears and said "are you Ears" and he said "yeah, Airs" so I said "sorry, wrong guy, I was looking for Ears". Not really, but I was speaking to him and he shook my very hand. Blah blah blah...Jammer's dreadlocks.

JME looks like a lizard.



I've just managed to comprehend some of Tinchy's bars:

"your partner told i'm the boy he fears (wtf?)... your girl's choong, she loves to play dares...you wont see me downing beers...i'm on lord of the mics 2 clashing ears...i'm not rampin' this year"

VIDEO: Vader, Garna, Gomes, Ribs, Skepta, Jammer & Manga in Amsterdam

Skepta and Ears were on Rinse FM on Sunday night for a special superman dread birthday show. Happy 80th Jamble..."i'm a big man but im not thirty"

MP3: Dowee On Dekkle Alongside MerkBoys, AfterShock, Highly Rated & Kidz In Da Hood

Tinie Tempah coming in with the big bars. Vortex from kidz in da hood = Crazy Titch on crack. Seriously.



Roll Deep Crew's 'Avenue' video puts me very strongly in mind of S Club 7. Wiley would be Tina.

Kano's album is such an almighty letdown.
