Grime producer and DJ Teddy, formerly known as Silencer, has kindly decided to give away two instrumentals for free this week. One is the first draft of the Ghetts track 'My Sperm' entitled 'Sparkplug' and the second track 'History'.
Clement Marfo & The Frontline, the seven piece band from South London, are taking the UK urban music scene by storm with their mix of hip hop, grime and rock. The band have received huge support from dj's including Mistajam, Semtex and Zane Lowe lately and have been putting in the work when it comes to live shows, with regular performances at ILUV LIVE.
After releasing their free ep earlier this year entitled 'Welcome' the band now release the official video for the track 'Overtime' feat. grime star Ghetts through SB.TV. The single is set for release on Nov 14th and features remixes from, the man of the moment Royal-T, S-X and cruelty.

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.
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.
Shortly after hearing Stutta feature on two different tracks lately, including 'Why' featuring Roachee and Rival and his and Roachee's 'Gangster' freestyle over the Z Dot production, the East London mc releases the second edition of his 'Girls & Music' EP series.
After the success of the first edition the Konk mc is back with another one, which is just as hard-hitting as the first one. The ten track ep features a massive lineup including vocals from Fudaguy, Mercston, Ghetts, Roachee, Lioness, A.L, Wiley, Rapid and loads more. We also see a very nice selection of instrumentals from the scenes most talented producers including, Rapid, Flava D, Dirty Danger, Teddy, SwiftJay and Marc Patrick.
Frisco drops the brand new EP 'Tear Drops' for free download. This release see's ten of the biggest tracks with features from J2K, Lay-Z, Lioness, Skepta, Tinchy Stryder, Example, Ghetts and more and productions by Rude Kid, Davinche, Skepta, Flava D and even the Boy Better Know member Frisco himself.
Highlights of this EP for me are Hustle, Fast Lane ft. J2K, Love Me ft. Lay-Z and Lioness and Frisco's P's & Q's EP, but every track is certainly worth checking out.
