Tinie Shows His Tempah

Tinie has arrived back into the grime scene! Although his arrival has been massively overdue, he has done it with a bang! All his biggest hits have all been pritty much the same, I mean don't get me wrong they are all sick! But the structure is the same, some simple verses from Tinie with a catchy hook and then Labrinth comes in with a crazy instrumental! Just like 'Pass Out' 'Frisky' and 'Earthquake'. But before all of these songs which made him the name he has now, he did start out in the Grime scene not the house scene. A couple years later, now he has established himself in the industry and made history 3 times over he has gone back to his roots.
In this song Tinie goes back to some of his more complex lyrics with an agressive delivery and he goes in hard! With an instrumental that you could easily imagine Giggs spittin on, Tinie delivers on!
Lastly I just want to point out that there is also a feature on this from J.Cole who released one of this years hottest album 'The Sideline Story' but moving away form that, I wanted to say that he is an American R&B/Rap artist. The point I am making is that slowly but surely the yanks are realising that the English underground scene really is making its mark and they are panicking!

So check it out, tell me what you're thinking. Hands down, this is gna be big...

YMCMB Sign The Black Beiber

It has been a big week for Young Money Cash money, not only have they signed Rap Veteran Busta Rhymes, they just signed another young Artist called Torion. First thing I thought when I looked a little into to Torion, he was a Black Justin Bieber! He is young, he can sing, he dance and even has the weird hair cut too. But seriously, he can dance and he can really sing. I cant dance, I'm not interested in dance, but this kid has such a talent that it made me sit up and think 'wow, this kids got it!'. He is exactly what Usher was 20 years ago!
Usher has 5 albums and over 30 songs that made it into the top 20 charts with a net worth of around 110 million pounds! So if this kid 'Torion' has got everything Usher has now, but 20 years earlier, who knows where he will stop...

Dub Steps Across

Its been a long time coming for the sound of Dubstep, if you dont know what I'm talking about yet I'm talking about how Dubstep has finally touched down in the States! I took many years until the Grime Scene got the recognition it deserved from the major leagues over in the US and it has been he same story again. One of the things i'd like to point out though is that the take over just aint working for the Americans. Which I am loving! I mean take the 'Hello Good Morning' Skepta Remix where Diddy trys to replicate Skeppys flow and let's be honest he just made him self look stupid. Dont get me wrong, i mean P Diddy is one of the flyest guys around, but really... Diddy & Grime? Didn't work! Now you tell me, Snoop & Dubstep? In my ears it's a big No!
It was quite a proud moment to hear Snoop say 'Westcoast Dubstep' but once again he just couldn't adapt to the music. For me anyway he is well past it all now and if you try and argue that he isn't then explain to me why he featured on a Katy Perry track? Anyway check it out and take it in yourself...

Drakes real sound

Like i said in a previous post, nobody has anticipated the release of 'Take Care' more than me! But not for the usual reasons, more than anything i wanted to see where Drizzy was going as an Artist. I remember back in November 2009 when Drake actually signed for Young Money and i can honestly say that I am a true fan of Drake, and i know its a cliche but his music really does inspire me. I also recall watching an interview with Drake in which he talks about what lil Wayne said to him when Drake signed the contract. Wayne told him to 'never change, be you! Tattoos and shit is me, that aint you. Dont change, do you and you'll succeed' and i guess what i am getting at is that Drake just does him. He talks life. He puts his life experiences, experiences we all go through day to day into song, which is why so many people love and relate to his music.

The song 'Over My Dead Body' from Take Care is about as close to Aubrey Drake Graham that we'll get. It is that and other songs like '9 AM in Dallas' 'Marvins Room' 'Fear' and 'Club Paradise' that really are Drake...

T-Pain and lil Wayne at it Again

After features from T-Pain on both The Carter 3 and The Carter 4 and Weezys features on Thr33 Ringz. The duo have been in the studio together once again to make another banger!

The new song called 'Bang Bang Pow Pow' has got a completely different feel to it than any of their other collabs together! Since T-Pain started to go over the top with auto tune I started to steer away from him, but he goes in hard on this! Back to his roots with lyrics like 'I do my thing, thing. Look At me Now, Now. Face Up. Ass Down'. Got a much more rap vibe to it. One of the hardest verses outside of the Carter 4 that lil Wayne has laid down too.

Drake 'Take Care'

The highly anticipated album 'Take Care' leaked just a week befor for it was due to be released, to my surprise Drake wasn't even phased by it. Since then, the album has been released and I mean as a personal thing, i have waited for this since the second i heard the last track on 'Thank Me Later' like i have literally been counting the days! Just to give you guys some insight in figures, here are the projections on sales for 'Take Care'. It's predicted to sell over 750,00 copies in its first week alone! The Carter 4 almost reached a million in its first week so the pressure is on!

I'd like to point out the another artist I Like called Mac Miller is under great threat, because even though i wouldn't put him in the same league as Drake, he has sucha buzz right now that it is going to be interesting who's album is going to take the top spot this week!

Busta Rhymes Signs With YMCMB

Busta Rhymes, famously known for his remix of 'Touch It' back in 2005 have now signed for the infamous and ever growing YMCMB label!
After his time at both Aftermath and Interscope records, my money is on that he has found his home for the rest of his career with the YMCMB family. Personally i put Busta as a write off a few years ago, but as of recent with his various features in a few big tracks, he's only moving forward...

His first single under the new label is due to release next week called 'Why Stop Now'. Busta has teamed up with Chris Brown and already you can feel the presence of Young Money in the instruemntal!!!
