Griminal - Invinceable




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gpBIfqvojA

Me Me M-M-ME!! Yeah its all about Grimnal, probably one of my favourite MCs at the minute. His bars on She Likes To stole the show and this track again proves he got what it takes. Its kinda simple but effective. Good chorus, 3 verses, great lyrics. Boom. Winner. And once again, Mz. Bratt, I think Im falling in love . . .
If he continues like this, big things are coming for Grim, heard an interview with him and he's one of the coolest fellas out there, the preview he gave also sounded massive so im keepin tabs on him. Still young too so plenty to come from Griminal in the future. BOOM!

Heaven Sent Thugs

Does anyone get them!? I mean are they good? When I first heard, "Takin' Over" I thought it was ok, then their next song 'Show me Some Love' was poor to say the least, and their latest 'Thug Like Me' kinda makes me ill!! Why am I hearing that they have so much promise? Havent shown any yet, but you cant knock em too much when theyre regulars on the music channels. Compare them to Boy Better Know and I know who I would rather be listening to. H.S.T look like someones gone into their local pub and asked 'Who likes rap?', up step a few fella's and theyve plonked em in a group together. Cant say Im feeling it that much, but maybe theyll win me over.

Boy Better Know - Goin' In

Skepta, JME, Jammer, Frisco, Shorty. Or Boy Better Know with their follow up to Too Many Man. Both tunes are BIG! They all have great flow, and they bounce off each other well. Makes me laugh this tune too and like with Wiley's latest offering this is another song for the clubs and should see plenty of spins. Their album V.I.P is scheduled for early 2010 and should be well worth a listen. Ive read some criticism for this track maybe cos its unortodox, but personally I like that. You never know which of them is going to flow next! They have a lot going for them because individually they are all great MC's, but they come together really well which means tracks like this work! End of.

Wiley - Take That




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjoQEckfDeQ

Back with a banger!! Probably not going to be everybody thing this song, but its got so much energy I can just see it being massive in the clubs! Great way to send a message out too - does Wiley ever get the credit he deserves? I dont think so, he paved a way for Grime. He then paved a way to be commercial but still credible. Good on Wiley! Video is mental as well, slightly scares me, slightly amuses me, slightly makes me wanna get up and hit something! Love the beat too, something new again. Hope this does well cos Wiley deserves another successful record. How 'She Likes To' with the rest of grimes elite didnt do better ill never know. Take That!

N-Dubz feat Mr.Hudson - Playing With Fire



N-Dubz. Theyve arrived now. Second album, selling well, new and quality singles hitting the charts. Whats best about them is theyve not 'sold out' at all. Everything they do still sound like you expect N-Dubz to sound. Mr. Hudson is good on this track too, and I think Tulissa is sounding better than ever. If i could say one thing, it'd be to get Dappy singing less and doing more rapping - its what hes best at, and i wanna here more!! I hope they sustain their success, and dont get carried away. I like to see that theyre collaborating with other artists too - brings the best out in them. And theyre topping the Urban charts. Cant ask for much more!

Devlin - Giant


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYaWyLULzaw

Is there anyone out there as lyrically talented as Devlin!? I dont think so. Classic Devs on this track, but ive been reading mixed reviews. People saying he is off beat, well maybe, but that just adds to his stlye and originality. More often than not his flow is spot on though, especially considering how good this is lyrically too. Really good chorus too, and another dark and great video. If we have this, Community Outcast and London City all on one album, I for one cannot wait for Bud, Sweat and Beers! Gonna be class!! And on top of that, if Devlin keeps producing tracks of this quality, he'll be around for along time. fingers crossed for him still!

Ghetts - Skadoosh


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVuugNq-iqI

What a tune!! Ghetts with another grime classic. Ive been reading comments that say this is too commercial but its far from that! its grime all day, but is catchy which should make it do well. Maxsta's verse is a classic and makes the tune to be honest and Dolla Da Dustman is pretty good as well. Great video too. Is there anyone hotter than Mz.Bratt right now? And Griminal and Devlin add to the all star cast. More of the same please Ghetts!
