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.

The Scorcher & Roachee Interviews (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.

Roachee - Sith Lord [Video]

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.

Rival - Music Is My Life (Prod. By Rude Kid) [Free Download]

The 'Hardest Working' mc in grime is back with another track this week entitled 'Music Is My Life' and this time it's up for free download. The track, produced by Rude Kid, is a much deeper track than what we're used to hearing from the 'Gun Reload' mc and certainly shows how versatile Rival can be. This is now the second time we've heard Rival, team up with Rude Kid to express his views on the music scene, after the recent track entitled 'Why' which also features Roachee & Stutta.

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.

Catch the video below for Stutta & Roachee's 'Gangster' freestyle over the Z Dot production.

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.
