Trim - I Am (Prod. By TRC) Out Now [Release]


The massive track 'I Am' by Trim, produced by TRC, finally sees its official release on the Butterz label. One of the biggest tracks the grime scene has seen this year is now available to purchase both digitally and on vinyl.

This has to be one of the East London mc's finest tracks to date and really showcases Trim's cutting-edge lyrics, filled to the brim with metaphors, over the original 'Summer Vibe' jazz infused production by TRC. The digital release includes two more remixes of the hit, a harder variation from, producer of the moment, Preditah and a more off-beat style instrumental from producer Mr.Mitch, on top of all that there is also a remix from L.V that is included on the vinyl release.

The release also includes the monster track 'Notice Now' produced by legendary grime hit-maker D.O.K, who also released his ep earlier this year entitled 'West Coast' ep on Hyperdub Records. One of the tracks from the ep, entitled 'East Coast', was also vocalled by Trim this year for the track 'Dead In This Ting' which featured on mc's 'Chelsea Smile' mixtape.

After already seeing a bag of releases from the Butterz label, ran by Elijah & Skilliam, so far this year, we are really starting to see what started out as a blog, turn into a grime platform for artists and producers alike to not only get their material heard on radio and in the raves, but also be available to purchase either digitally or on vinyl.

Available via the following links:
Digital
ITunes
Boomkat
Juno
Vinyl
Chemical
Red Eye
Picadilly

Also after the massive flood of remixes that came in after the 'Notice Now' acapella was given away for free, you can now download the 'I Am' acapella for free as well.

Mixclique Vision have been putting in the work yet again, with more video's from the grime scene's finest artists and producers. This time round we're treated to an interview with the man behind the 'Tarzan' track, producer J Beatz.

He talks about his own music style and what to expect when you hear a 'J Beatz' production being suited more towards the clubs, although he has a wide style and even caters for the more melodic type tracks. He also chats about the time when he felt like he started to become established in the scene, upcoming projects and releases and even shows us a few snippets of some new material.

Sincere Ain't Nobody Like You Official Video

Sincere drops the video for his single 'Ain't Nobody Like You', produced by Justice Falsworth, taken from his forthcoming EP 'Now Or Never'. If this track is anything to go by, then we should expect a big release when the EP finally does drop.

Sincere has been working hard lately with his upcoming release and his clothing line 'XYE Clothing' that was also recently just launched, which you can see the rapper wearing in the video. You can pre-order this single along with the rest of the EP on September 16th with the release set to drop on October 30th.

Well after all that Manga has now released the brand new video for his track taken off the forthcoming release, entitled 'No Mc' featuring fellow Roll Deep members Scratchy and J2K.

The track, which is produced by Preditah, showcases the crew's abilities and show's that they still can spit over grime just as well as what they could before their mainstream success.

The video, filmed by SB.TV director Morgan Keyz, see's exclusive footage from Roll Deep's performance at the Rinse FM stage at Lovebox Festival earlier this summer.

Recent 4thSideEnt Video's Ft. Manga,Young Kye,C4,Nafe Smallz,Fuse & Reds


After 4thSideEnt have brought us a few video's over the last few days featuring a whole bag of mc's, I thought this would be a good chance to group them all together so you get to see the freestyles in one place.

We see two freestyle video's which feature mc's Manga,Young Kye,C4,Nafe Smallz,Fuse & Reds, one freestyle over a grime instrumental, from producer Preditah, and the other video over a rap beat. We also get to see a behind the scenes video of Young Kye's and Nafe Smallz's track entitled 'Pot Of Gold'.

Watch all three video's below.



Doller- UK Tour Info 2011/2012


After all the music and video's we have seen from Doller this year, he now confirms his UK tour as well. You really cant knock this mc's hustle and knowing Doller and his performances I'm sure this is definitely not one to be missed. So look now for all the cities he's playing and keep your eyes peeled for tickets which will be available soon.

Doller-A Bag In The Night (Produced By Z.Dot) [Official Video]


Doller releases the official video for his track entitled 'A Bag In The Night', produced by Z.Dot, which is taken from the mixtape 'From A Hustler To My Hustlers'.

The Edmonton mc has proven himself in the grime scene many times but the rap scene as well, as we see here,Dolla handles a rap beat just as well as grime. The video filmed and edited by GrimeDaily's Capone captures this track perfectly. Catch the video below.

Rival Freestyle-Trending Topic TV [Video]


The 'Lock Off The Rave' star Rival must be the single most hard working mc this year, it seems every week we see him feature on a new track or new video or appear on a new freestyle. Well yet again we get to see Rival on a brand new freestyle video, filmed by Trending Topic TV, and again he shows us the high levels he's at right now.

Dexplicit Ft. Gfam & Igniter-Never Stalling [Audio]


Again we see the collaboration of UK grime veteran producer Dexplicit and GFam, this time including all of the GFam members Dimples,Sicx,Styler & Random Impulse and a feature on the hook from Luton based artist Igniter. The track entitled 'Never Stalling' is a certified banger, with every mc destroying the heavy Dexplicit production and Igniter delivering the head-nodding hook that really brings this track together.

Look out for the official video which is meant to be dropping soon.

Nico Lindsay-Currently Thinking [Official Video]


Nico Lindsay releases the official video for the track 'Currently Thinking'. The video is filmed and edited by GloabalFaction, a digital media company who only deal with songs and artists that have a message behind it.

Well this track is certainly that, the North London mc portrays an emotive story of his life and others in such a dexterous way, i think this track shows why Nico Lindsay really is one of the most talented lyricists in the UK and lyrics like 'They say I'm the smart type, my grades don't agree with that assumption. Does that still mean that my brain hardly functions?' definitely showcase this.

Rival-Gangster Freestyle [Video]


After the recent success with Z Dot's 'Gangster' instrumental and the currently released EP which contains features from a dozen different mc's on the track, there's one mc we didn't hear over this beat and to be honest I think it surprised people that they didn't.....that mc is Rival.

Well what a shame it is that Rival didn't feature on the EP, because this has to be one of the best (if not the best) version there is to date. Rival absolutely murders this freestlye, using the sample from the beat in conjunction with the hook and even sending for Z Dot himself, which we can only assume is to do with not being featured on the track in the first place. Having a mc send for you on your own instrumental, surely that takes the definition of par to a next level?

Watch the video below which was filmed and edited by Trending Topic TV

Merky Ace Hype Sessions Lord Of The Mics 3- Send For J1 [Video]

You've heard the Hype Sessions freestyle from J1, now its time for Family Tree mc Merky Ace. From what seems to be one of the most exciting clashes we now get to hear Merky's send. J1's hype session was a calm and almost laid back freestyle, but we all know you can never expect that from the Family tree mc, watch below to see Merky Ace tear apart this freestyle.

J1 Hype Sessions Lord Of The Mics 3- Send For Merky Ace [Video]

The Hype Sessions from Lord Of The Mics 3 is back with possibly what is yet to be one of the most exciting clashes from the series, which features Stay Fresh member J1 and Family Tree member Merky Ace. Being Dubbed as the 'Calm Hype Session' J1 goes in with this send and although may seem laid back, certainly doesn't lack content within his bars.

D Dark-Take Off Freestyle [Free Download]


Faze Miyake's riddim 'Take Off' is undoubtedly one of the biggest grime instrumentals of this year, being vocalled my an array of mc's, getting played on radio and duppying raves regularly and now even becoming the official soundtrack for Lord Of The Mics 3. Now the mc D Dark has released his own freestyle over this monster production, packed with punchlines and clever bars this is well worth the download people.

RD-Radio (Produced By Sukh Knight) [Video]


"IT WAS MY CHOICE TO PUT IT ON RINSE, BUT I'VE GOT 1XTRA STATION CALLED KISS"

If you haven't heard of RD by now then where have you been. As part of the Nationality team, which also includes Jammin,Mr A,Blaze,A.K and Guyver, the East London Barking mc has risen quickly through the ranks, which success from his free mixtape 'Hear Me Out'.

I saw that his video had dropped the other day but during a busy weekend I didn't have time to check it out straight away. Well I can certainly say that I was not expecting the massive hit that I just listened to. Filled full of clever sing-along bars over Sukh Knights monster dubstep production, RD expresses his love for radio sets which we've been reminded lately, thanks to Diesel and Deja Vu FM, really is the essence of this scene.

The video, directed by Profits from Water Media TV, compliments the track very well and I have to say is probably one of the most creative video's I've seen from the grime scene lately.

Kozzie-I'm Famous Official Video (No Hats No Hoods)


Kozzie releases the video for 'Im Famous', the second single from his mixtape 'The Problems Started'. The track, produced by Faze Miyake, is a certified hit with the Blue Borough mc expressing his recent fame after the 'Spartan' track was released.

I've got to say I'm very impressed with this video, which was directed by Ambrose Yalley, as it captures the track perfectly. We see clips from the mc in the studio to photoshoots to performing in the raves and also see cameo's from DJ Logan Sama, taken from his Monday night Kiss FM show and Kozzie being interviewed by Hyperfrank.

The track 'Im Famous' will be released on No Hats No Hoods on September 19th with a bassline remix from producer Virgo and the B side produced by Mensah. There is also a very limited edition run of 'The Problems Started' t-shirt which you can purchase from the No Hats No Hoods website here

Mixclique Vision Presents Nico Lindsay Freestyle S1E6 [Video]


We haven't heard too much from the North London mc this year, since his release with producer Exo Remedy earlier this year, so it's good to hear the talented mc back again with some fresh bars. This time we see a freestyle filmed by Mixclique, the second freestyle, from their 'Mixclique Vision' series, where Nico Lindsay goes in over Darq E Freaker's 'Lock Off The Rave' instrumental. Enjoy.

Moeshin Pictures Caught A Moesh With-Dimples & Styler x Avalanch [Video]


DJ Scope has been busy filming the 'Catch A Moesh' series again. Last week we saw Rival and Jammin going in over G Tank's productions and this week were treated to two video's again, this time with GFam members Dimples & Styler and North London mc Avalanch.

You can't deny that GFam have been putting in the work this year, with releases from Styler,Dimples and Random Impulse and a brand new radio slot on Deja Vu FM on Monday nights. They also featured on Z Dots 'Gangsters' EP and on top of all that are even talking about releasing a 'Best Of GFam' cd soon as well.

Catch Dimples and Styler doing what they do best below, as the pair each drop freestyles over a Flava D instrumental.

Remember you can purchase Avalanch's release 'Recovery Position' now as well, featuring 14 bangers from the mc himself and many features including Dimples,Kwam,Nico Lindsay and more.

Terror Danjah Ft. Ruby Lee Ryder-Full Attention Out Now [Release]


Terror Danjah's track 'Full Attention' featuring Ruby Lee Ryder has probably been one of the most played grime tracks this year so far, well it now gets its official release and is out now, on Hardrive Records, digitally and on vinyl.

The tracklists differ on both the vinyl and digital releases, with the vinyl version seeing Terror Danjah's 'Jekyll & Hyde' instrumental included and the digital version with Roska's remix on it. I'm happy to say though both versions include the massive hit instrumental 'East Village', which many people are just as happy to be able to purchase as what they are 'Full Attention'.

Both releases also include the acapella so it will be interesting to hear any remixes that will emerge in the near future along with Royal-T's and Spooky's which have already surfaced.

Sets & Video From Butterz + Hardrive @Cable 13/08/11 [Review]


Last Saturday Butterz & Hardrive tore apart Cable nightclub at London Bridge, with performances from DJ's Elijah & Skilliam, Royal-T, Champion, Terror Danjah, Swindle, D.O.K, Scratcha DVA and Kode 9 in room one and funky house in room two.

Grime legend D Double E also performed on the night with Terror Danjah, who was celebrating his birthday, which included live P.A's of 'Back To The Bone', 'Bluku Bluku' and 'Streetfighter Riddim' and also a live set with old skool grime mc Bruza. Other mc's in attendance were Family Tree members Merky Ace and Ego, who both blessed the mic at various times throughout the night, and a quick appearance from Blacks on Elijah's and Skilliam's set.

Highlights of the night for me was funky house DJ/Producer Champion's set who showed us the darker side to the genre and then lit up the place near the end with some old skool grime classics and D Double E's performance with Terror Danjah, although I have to say every DJ and mc had the crowd hype and not one set was a disappointment.

Here's some of the video's from the night to give you an insight to how it went down.






Lets hope this is the start of something new and we'll be seeing many more Butterz hosted nights soon.
Big up the Butterz label and everyone else involved.

Doller-Reebok's Back Official Video + UK Tour Info

Press Release From Doller PR

We are proud to finally present the video accompaniment to Doller’s ode to a favoured brand of footwear, entitled “Reebok's Back”.

Throughout the past couple of months Rap fan have witnessed the developments as everyone has clambered to have a piece of the “Tupac Back” hype. From “Biggie Back” (Maino) to “Big Pun Back” (Joell Ortiz), the tributes to fallen soldiers have piled in. However, it wasn’t until the song’s original artists - Rick Ross and Meek Mill - were joined by Swizz Beatz that the vision was altered. From resurrecting the dead, it's now about reminiscing on the good old creps that had everyone raiding their closest JD. Now Edmonton’s Doller (known previously as Doller Da Dustman) has opted to offer his own take on the future classic track from the “Self Made, Vol. 1” Maybach Music Group album.

The video to “Reebok’s Back” is directed by Jeaniq Amihyia and reignites the hype over a brand which was popular in the ‘90s and early '00s using poignant imagery; reflecting the direction which Doller takes the song. Expect those Classics to be flying and just about every colourway to been seen, as the North Londoner never does things half-heartedly.



As well as this, please note that Doller shall be embarking on a 9-date UK tour across England and Scotland. The dates are as follows, with confirmation of the locations to be announced in the near future:

September
Saturday 3rd – London
Saturday 17th – Birmingham
October
Saturday 1st – Manchester
Saturday 15th – Bristol
Saturday 29th – Newcastle
November
Saturday 5th – Liverpool
Saturday 19th – Glasgow
December
Saturday 3rd – Leeds
Saturday 17th - London

All words written by Doller PR.

Roachee,Stutta & Rival-WHY [Video]



The start of the week sees a brand new video from Roachee,Stutta & Rival entitled 'Why' taken from Roachee's forthcoming project. Each mc gives their view on the music scene and its current state over Rude Kid's deep production.

This is certainly a certified hit and its good to hear a track expressing the opinions of mc's over the music scene these days, which is something we haven't seen much from before. The video filmed and edited by Danny Streetz is also very fitting which let's the track do most the work, while also helping to catch the anger expressed.


J2K & Ayo-Get Down [Video]


J2K releases his official video for the track entitled 'Get Down' featuring Ayo. Although not grime, nor intended to be, I'm certainly feeling this one, the hook's very catchy. It seems to have become a bit of a cliche now but I cant help but mention how underrated the Roll Deep rapper is. With tracks like this and 'WTF' he definitely knows what it takes to make good music.

Remember 'WTF' featuring Kenzie May is out now which you can purchase here http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wtf-eletirck/id454325160

This is the best I've heard from Wretch in a long time, he go's in with some deep bars about his current success and fame. Remember the single featuring Josh Kumra 'Dont Go' is out now and with already over a million views on youtube this one's surely set to go number one. The album Black & White is also out on the 28th which you can pre-order from iTunes now.
