Sometimes when days get long, when dreams seem lost, when thoughts are irrelevant. Something comes along which just flips it all, for me it is music. Which is why I am writing this article. It is why I created this blog. It is why I stay up till early hours every night writing my own music with a pen and a pad. It is why I am up before sun rise every morning and put in the work to give back to music what it has given to me.
After a long day I couldn't wait to get into bed and just go sleep but then I found this...

The first verse hit me hard. Just like when i heard Mic Righteous for the first time. Just like when I listened to Paris Morton Music by Drake for the first time. Just like when i listened to Mr.Carter by lil Wayne for the first time. This moment was another one of those 'Shit, that was his break'.
As you all know, real music is what I cherish, and what you hear in the first 3 minutes is just that. As I say, Real Recognise Real. So recognise and please listen to it and take in the lyrics. Empathise. Discover another perspective. Be inspired.
Proud to right about this one.

Skepta Doesn't Do It Again
Firstly I want to point out that I am a Big fan of Skepta, I've got a vast collection of his music and know every lyrics to every one, and that's the truth. Personally I love him for his Grimier music, undeniably he is one of the key players in what made the Grime Scene what it is today. Possibly my favourite track of his, which also includes one of my favourite verses of time has to be B.O.S.S which if you haven't heard then take a couple minutes to listen now...

Jheeze! He goes in!!! Try and tell me different!?
But to what I'm saying, Skeppy released a new track called 'Punch His Face' which to me is dead. I mean Skepta has a sick flow,but in this he just sounds like some other weak MC. For me the track never really drops properly, the over use of Auto Tune just kills the vibe and the base isn't even strong enough to make it fall into the category of a house or garage track, it's just nothing. Take a listen..

Admittedly the guy is in a position now to do pritty much what ever he likes in terms of music and I wouldn't doubt for a second that he is going to release something soon which will pull me right back!
