J Beatz - 8 Bar Mucktion [Audio]

J Beatz 8 Bar Mucktion

This year so far in 2011, we've seen decent grime tracks being released one after the after, including Spartan, Lock Off The Rave and many many more. Well this trend shows no sign of stopping, as we start to approach the end of the year, after Logan premiered a track last Monday, which is already creating a massive buzz around it.

The track I'm talking about is from North London producer J-Beatz, entitled '8 Bar Mucktion', which features an all-star cast of grimes top mc's. The track I'm sure will be remembered as the 'Grime All-Star Track Of The Year', featuring an epic lineup including, 9 Milli Major, Big H, Kwam, Big Narstie, Sharky Majoy, Blay, MIK, Typah, Dimples, Jammin, Rival and Tre Mission.

Look out for a video for the track coming soon.

Ruff Sqwad - Las Vegas


It seems the veteran grime crew Ruff Sqwad are back, a few weeks back we saw a video to the brand new track 'This Side', then we hear that the crew are currently working on the third edition of their 'Guns & Roses' series, now we see yet another brand new video, this time for the track entitled 'Las Vegas.'

The title of the track and the video seem to go hand in hand, as the video was filmed in the gambling city of America, at the same time the crew was out there filming for Tinchy Stryders' new track 'Off The Record'.

Check the video for the track below and also the behind the scenes video for Tinchy Styders' 'Off The Record' video.

RD - Chasing (Free Download) [Audio]


There's been a lot of covers of American tracks lately, something that I'm sometimes skeptical of, but I have to admit, out of all the one's I've heard so far this has to be the best.

The Nationality mc RD has done his own cover to the Sean Garett feat. Rick Ross 'In Da Box' track, produced by Lex Luger, which he has titled 'Chasing'. RD has decided to give away the track for free, which you can download here http://t.co/DBuxemwm.

Black The Ripper Do It Like Me Official Video

The North London mc is back, with visuals for his brand new track 'Do It Like Me' produced by 1xtra Hip Hop DJ, Charlie Sloth. It's been a while since we've heard anything from Samson, but it's fair to say he's returned with a banger, proving why no one else can do it like him.

TRC - Leak EP Out Now [Free Download]

TRC Leak EP Free Download

Shortly after the recent release of Trim's 'I Am' single, which was produced by TRC, the UK producer decided to give away a free EP entitled 'Leak', after receiving a 100 likes on Facebook. The EP contains 11 absolutely massive instrumentals on it, ranging from grime to garage.

TRC really is, in my opinion, one of the top producers in the scene right now and has certainly proved he can hold that title, with the high standard of the tracks featured on this release. I would try to pick to my favourite track but to tell the truth, I rate every single one of them.

So without saying anymore, just download the EP and see for yourself.

Lioness - Don't Tell Me [Official Video]

Lioness Don't Tell Me Official Video

After recently releasing her free mixtape entitled 'Roarness' Lioness drops the official video for her track entitled 'Don't Tell Me'. The video, directed by Greg Bond, was filmed at Bump, the weekly friday club night held at Plan B in Brixton.

Lioness chooses a dubstep production for this track, something we havent heard from her before, and although it would have been nice to hear this over a grime beat instead, it seems she doesn't want to be told what to spit on.

Remember the Lioness mixtape is out now which you can download for free here http://www.mediafire.com/?zd10tvjq110y7c5

Tre Mission Hype Session - Lord Of The Mics 3 [Video]


Last week we saw Jendor's 'Hype Sessions' freestyle sending for Tre Mission and this week we see the Canadian mc's reply. Tre Mission certainly doesn't hold back and makes it known that he's ready for this clash, even putting his twist on some of Hollowman's well known bars like "28 Shots". With a strong send from Jendor too, this is set out to be one exciting clash from the series.

Logan Sama After Hours feat. Manga, Young Kye & Nafe Smallz [Video]


Just lately we've seen a lot from Manga, including the forthcoming mixtape 'Obzokey Wranglings' which is out next month. However before that drops, the single 'No Mc' feat. J2K and Scratchy is set for release on the 25th and to promote it the Roll Deep mc came down to the Kiss FM studio with Luton based mc's Young Kye and Nafe Smallz, for Logan Sama's afterhours set.

As well as Manga's forthcoming releases, Young Kye and Nafe Smallz have also got a joint mixtape, so make sure you look out for that.

Dizzle Kid- Do What I Want EP Out Now x Freestyle Video


The Lava Unit mc Dizzle Kid has finally released his own project, entitled 'Do What I Want' EP. This massive release contains six straight up grime tracks, with vocal features from Bruza and Mayhem and productions from Bless Beats, Faze Miyake and more.

It seems were seeing more and more free downloads lately, which I can sort of understand with an mc like Dizzle Kid, seeing as he's been quiet in the scene lately. Although in my opinion this EP, and many others lately that have been released for free, could certainly pull off an official release, as it contains some solid tracks featured on it.

To help promote the release, Dizzle Kid also dropped a video on the same day, giving you a run through of the EP itself and also dropping a freestyle at the end as well.

'Do What I Want EP' is out right now and is available to download here

Kozzie Vs. Sox Rematch Lord Of The Mics 3 [Video]

After the choke from Sox during his and Kozzie's Lord Of The Mics clash, theres been a lot of rumours and speculations flying around as to what actually happened. We then heard a lot of people claim that Kozzie only won the clash by default and for no other reason.

So the Blue Borough mc caught up with Lord Of The Mics, to prove to everyone that he's still willing to clash and has confirmed the rematch with the Brum mc, hopefully this time we'll get to see the full clash from both mc's.

Kozzie-I'm Famous Out Now [Release]


After the success from the 'Spartan' vocal, produced by Spooky, Kozzie's career has steadily progressed up until now where he releases the second single from his recent mixtape, 'The Problems Started', for his track entitled 'I'm Famous', which we also recently saw a video for.

The single, which was released by the No Hats No Hoods label, contains six tracks, including the original, produced by Faze Miyake, a remix from Virgo and the instrumentals from both of these as well. However the highlight of this mixtape for me is the last track on the release entitled 'My Life' which features vocals from Cylena Cymone and the production of the track from Mensah. The track showcases Kozzie's story-telling abilities as an mc and shows us a deeper insight into his personal life, which we've yet to hear.

You can purchase the single now from both iTunes and Bookmat below.

Logan Sama Kiss FM Family Tree 12th Sept 11

On last week's Logan Sama Kiss FM show we saw the whole Family Tree collective pass through, consisting of Merky Ace,MIK,Ego,Shifman and TKO, to which each mc blessed the mic for nearly 30 minutes of grime at it's finest. As a crew and as solo mc's, each member is certainly making a name for themselves as we see here as they all showcase the best of their abilities.

Fuda Guy Kids Of Grime Freestyle [Video]


After not hearing much from Fuda Guy lately, the Ruff Sqwad member drops a freestyle over a Flava  D instrumental for Kids Of Grime TV. Apart from hearing Fuda on Roachee's new release 'Roach Material Vol.1' this is the first time we've heard anything in a while, so lets hope that changes and we start to hear more again from the mc. Check the video below.

Rival - Talk That Official Video x Kids Of Grime Interview [Video]


The hardest working mc in grime is back yet again with new material, this time with an official video, filmed and edited by Lockdown Records, for the track 'Talk That'. We all know Rival as an mc who's bars are filled full of violence and rage, but this track takes a different approach to what we've been used to hearing and instead explains the reasons behind his lyrics.


Just lately I've heard a lot of people saying that Rival is one of the best in the scene right now. Well in my opinion versatility is one of the things that separates you from the rest and puts you in the top mc category and with tracks like this Rival is doing exactly that.

You can hear Rival talk more in depth about this in the interview below, that he recently had with Remel for Kids Of Grime TV and also talk of upcoming releases.

Check the video below.

Roachee - Roach Material Vol.1 Out Now [Free Download]


The long awaited mixtape is finally here from the 'When I'm Ere' mc and it certainly doesn't disappoint either. After recently seeing the video for 'Sith Lord', which was dropped a few days before the release, it was clear to see that Roachee was back, this time with a arsenal of new bars but delivered in the same gritty way from his former Roll Deep days.

The ten track release features a wide range of styles, from the dark gritty tracks were used to hearing Roach on, like 'Filthy Rich', which is produced by myself, and Sith Lord, we also see some deep tracks expressing emotion that may surprise some people to hear, with tracks like 'Why' and 'Life'.

Features on the release include mc's Dirty Danger, Stutta, Fuda Guy, Rapid and Rival, with productions from Teddy, Dirty Danger, myself and more.

Download the mixtape for free here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/fzw1kr

Rude Kid - Spring (Feat. P Money & Merky Ace) Out Now [Release]


When two of the biggest grime mc's in the scene right now came together to record a track over possibly one of the most epic grime instrumentals the scene has seen this year, it was a no brainer that the outcome would be something special. After getting played religiously on radio, including holding a weekly spot on Logan Sama's Kiss FM show on Mondays, the track is now available to purchase on iTunes.

Instead of hearing the standard collab were all used to, Merky Ace and P Money have brought a much cleverer concept to this track, going back to back throughout the whole song, creating almost a seesaw of lyrics between the two.

The massive instrumental from producer Rude Kid, which is taken from his 'Always Ready' EP, has been at the heart of every grime radio set and rave this year and has certainly earned itself the title of the 'Grime Anthem' of 2011.

Go buy the single now through iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/spring-feat.-pmoney-merky/id464774856

D Double E - Lyrical Farda [Official Viral Video]


"I'm That Lyrical Farda, Name A Mc Thats Spits Harder"

Considered by many as 'one of the best' in the scene and hailing the title of grime's most legendary mic man, the Newham Generals mc drops another video for the second single from his most recent release.
This time we see an official viral video, which is obviously working after already receiving over 13,000 views in less than a week on YouTube, for the epic track entitled 'Lyrical Farda' which is taken from the release 'Bluku Bluku EP'.

The video features clips features throughout the mc's whole career, including studio sessions, radio sets, including Jammer's birthday set back in the day on DeJa Vu FM, and raves that the mc has shutdown before in the past.

Remember the 'Bluku Bluku EP' is out now on iTunes which you can purchase here

Random Impulse - DJ Fresh Louder Refix [Audio]

Random Impulse DJ Fresh Louder Refix

Random Impulse has to be one of the most talented artists within the UK. Starting off his musical career with North London based crew GFam, who he still continues to do plenty of tracks with, we were then introduced to Random Impulses's songwriting skills and musical instrument playing abilities.

After choosing certain mainstream songs the mc then puts his own spin on the track, with his guitar as one weapon and the mic as the other.

This time round he's chose to do a refix of the chart topping song 'Louder' by DJ Fresh. It's exciting to hear music like this as this is the first time we've heard someone take this sort of approach on mainstream music. The North London mc really does define the term of a 'one man band'.

Logan Sama Kiss FM Set Ft. Merky Ace, Footsie, TKO & Shifman Sept 5

 Logan Sama Kiss FM Merky Ace Footsie TKO Shifman

On this weeks Logan Sama show on Kiss FM, we saw Family tree member Merky Ace and producer Rudekid on the show to promote their new single 'Spring' which also features P Money and also Footsie promoting his new single 'Do You Get Me Boss'.

Merky Ace also brought fellow crew members Shifman & TKO and the Family Tree trio went in over the newest in grime with one half of the Newham Generals Footsie.

Big up Aaron Hanson (Hanson's House) for the filming as usual.


9 Milli Major - Lord Of The Mic [Video]

9 Milli Major Lord Of The Mic Video

The Bloodline member 9 Milli Major showcases the video for the brand new track 'Lord Of The Mic'. Just lately we've seen a lot from this mc and it's becoming more apparent after each track the amount he's progressing.

In the track 9 Milli Major expresses his views on Lord Of The Mics, stating he doesn't need to be involved as he's already proved himself before. We also hear sly sends for Trim throughout the track and even Nico Lindsay at one point as well.

Watch the video below, filmed and edited by Listen Up London. Enjoy

Lights Ft. Ghetts - Snap Back [Official Video]


After being quiet for a long time we get to see a brand new video from mc Lightning, for the track entitled 'Snap Back' featuring Ghetts, where he expresses his love for the style of hats. Look out for the cameo from Mr. Wong in the video as well.

Check it out Below.

Ghetts - On A Level [Official Video]


After not hearing much from Ghetts lately, we suddenly get to see the brand new video for track entitled 'On A Level' produced by Confectionary.

I've gotta be honest I'm really not sure what to make of this track so far. I do like the beat, although I feel maybe it's not the best suited to Ghetts's style but I must admit as soon as the dnb bit come in, that certainly put me off slightly.  Not to say this track doesn't contain some good lyrics though, with also quite a catchy hook, I just think that because this is such a large step away from what we've heard Ghetts on before that it will take a little getting used to thats all.

It's now easy for us to see that Ghetts certainly wants a part in some mainstream success, which is fine as long he caters for his loyal fans as well and stays true to where he originally started.

Apart from this though, the video for this track, filmed and directed by Carley Cussen, certainly fits in well with the theme of the track, with it's dark and eerie feel to it.

Hollowman Jendor - Beat Keeps Screaming [Official Net Video]


The OG'z mc releases the second video for a track taken from his mixtape 'When It Rains It Storms', with the track entitled 'Beat Keeps Screaming'. After recently also dropping the video for 'Gutter Sound' and holding two launch party's for the release, it shows how much hard work Jendor's put into this project.

The track featured in this video is certainly one of the highlights from the mixtape, with it's monster dubstep production, so it's only right that we now get to see visuals for it as well. The video, filmed by We Goin In, also features clips taken from the first launch party, that was held in Oxford and we also see apperances from mc's Kozzie and Blacks.

Dimples - Bad Attitude [Video]


The GFam member Dimples releases a brand new video for his track 'Bad Attitude' taken from the highly acclaimed mixtape 'Last Laugh Vol.3'. Dimples's work-rate along with the rest of his crew this year as been far higher than most others in the scene and it seems he plans to see out the year like he started it.

The video below, filmed by director Alex Sosa, is a great accompaniment to the track that sees the North London mc flow over the grimey production with his usual punchline filled lyrics.

Remember that 'Last Laugh Vol.3' is out now available to purchase digitally through iTunes and Amazon. Physical copies are also available through www.mindofgrime.com

The Scorcher & Roachee Interviews (Lord Of The Mics) [Video]

 Scorcher and Roachee Lord Of The Mics Video

Last week we saw an interview from Scorcher, filmed by Street Wise TV, with the 'Skywalker' mc addressing the send from Roachee in his Lord Of The Mics 'Hype Session'. He confirms that he does not want to clash on Lord Of The Mics and then even claims that after the 'Hype Sessions' video aired, Roachee even rang him to apologise.

Anyway, a few days later and Roachee takes a look at the interview, he has been mentioned in, after Jammer points it out to him on Twitter. As you can imagine the Sith Lord mc is not happy after hearing claims that he rang up Scorcher apologising, so got in contact with Lord Of The Mics, to film a video, to get his side of the story across. He states that he would never dream of ringing up to apologise and makes it clear that he does "Not Like Liars"!

Watch below to see both mc's view on the situation.



M.I.K - Street Starz Spotlight Freestyle [Video]

M.I.K Street Sarz Ent Video Freestyle

Wiley - No Love Lost [Free Download]


Just lately we've seen a whole heap of tracks given away by Wiley and this week is no different as he releases the grime track 'No Love Lost'.

The Godfather Of Grime has had more beef within the scene than probably any other mc and had some form of relationship with nearly every mc there is. In this track he talks about exactly this, airing his many thoughts as usual.

The track has a very distinct old school Wiley feel to it, both in the production and his flow, listen below and download the track for free here.

Kozzie - Lord Of The Mics Interview


So we've heard Sox's side of things from the Lord Of The Mics clash, now it's time to hear Kozzie's version. The Blue Borough mc gets across his side of the story and tells us, in detail, what really went down. Catch the interview below.

Roachee - Sith Lord [Video]

Roachee Sith Lord Video Taken From Roach Material Vol.1

In the run up to the forthcoming free download 'Roach Material Vol.1' Roachee drops a brand new video for the track entitled 'Sith Lord'.

After watching this video for the first time on Sunday, I played it again, then again and again. The track 'Sith Lord' , which uses the Prodigy remix from dubstep producer Numbernin6, is the rawest grime track I think we've heard for a while in the scene, with an equally fitting video, filmed and directed by Simon Wheatley.

After hearing the 'When I'm Ere' mc release a few tracks now since his comeback, it looks like Roachee is now back and here to stay, with that gritty grime flow the scene has been missing.

The mixtape 'Roach Material Vol.1' will be released for free download through the No Hats No Hoods label this Friday 9th Sept, featuring the above track 'Sith Lord' and many more.

Dot Rotten - Words Of Wisdom Freestyle [Audio]


Dot Rotten uploads a brand new freestyle on his YouTube page entitled 'Words Of Wisdom' freestyle. Without grime fans getting their hopes again, this one's over a hip-hop beat. This now seems to be the permanent genre the mc is edging towards nowadays. Nevertheless Dot Rotten still delivers that lyrical content that puts him in a league above many in the UK.

Merky Ace Catch Up Freestyle Faze Miyake

The Family Tree mc is quickly working his way up the ranks, with more and more people now considering him as one as the scenes top mc's. His 'Blue Battlefield' mixtape featured banger after banger and helped establish his name in grime.

Since his release, we've never been short of new material from either him or the rest of the Family Tree crew for that matter. This week we see a net video, filmed and edited by Aaron Hanson (Hanson's House), for his 'Catch Up' freestyle produced by Faze Miyake.

Check it out below.

Kozzie VS. Sox LOTM 3 Aftermath


If your a grime fan then you would already know what happened in Jammer's 'Dungeon' at the Kozzie & Sox clash for Lord Of The Mics 3, but if your not a grime regular or you've had no Internet this week then I'll give you the quick run down of events.

Basically the pair were in Jammer's basement ready to clash, Sox spat his bars then Kozzie spat his. Whatever Kozzie said seemed to put the Brum mc under a bit too much pressure however as Sox then stated, that he had forgot his bars and he wasn't going to clash.

The next day we then saw Sox on radio slewing Kozzie again as if nothing had happened and the clash had gone ahead like planned. Now whether Kozzie got a chance to hear this or not I'm not sure, but he also had bars for the mc on Logan Sama's Kiss FM show on Monday night.

Finally today we saw an interview on Lord Of The Mic's official YouTube page with Sox to try and clear up any confusion. Sox gives a couple of reasons as to why he forfeited the clash, however none of which make much sense.

First of all he claims that he found it hard to write for Kozzie as he doesn't rate him, although it was Sox that first sent for Kozzie and also seemed to have enough bars for Kozzie the other day on radio. Then lastly he states there was too much going on that day, including coming to London for the first time and being involved in interviews and photoshoots, which again I'm not sure what to think of.

Watch all the video's and listen to the audio below.

Ruff Sqwad - This Side [Official Net Video]


It's been a while since we've heard the grime collective on a track together, although they've all been working hard on solo projects. This is why I was surprised when I woke up this morning to see a brand new video from Ruff Sqwad for the track entitled 'This Side'.



The talented bunch of mc's and producers are back with that classic funky Ruff Sqwad sound, with features from members Dirty Danger, Slix, Rapid and even Tinchy Stryder, with just the exception of Fuda Guy which was a shame. With what feels like the energy taken from the days of the old school Rinse FM sets and vibes influenced from the current funky scene, the crew have certainly developed their own style when it comes to club bangers like this.


The video, filmed and edited by the GrimeDaily director Capone, was shot in this years summer destination 'Ibiza' and gives us a true insight to the definition of the word "Flee".
