My New Home (New Job Anyway)

I have recently been asked to write a couple pieces of Sensazn magazine. Really exciting news for me but also a lot of hard work. This is the reason why I have been slacking on here, if anyone follows it LOL

Check the website out though, loads of features from top names

Its Trikki! Trikki Trikki...






Just a small selection from what will be undoubtedly one of the hottest collections of 2010. Trikki clothing founded by Rikki and Nikki Shah(see the pattern forming).

Bright colours, gully slogans and plenty of designs this line is one to watch. Already Jackets and Hoodies are in the pipeline whilst their T-Shirt line is out and being promoted. The prices range from £17 to £20. The only problem that I see is perhaps the lack of publicity. These can really kick off with a bit of advertising, hopefully soon there is loads of potential from what I've seen.

Its K A



The Prequel to perhaps one of the most anticipated albums of the year has arrived. The free download is a project which took Kano just 7 Days to write, record and produce. Although no tune really stands out, the mixtape perhaps shows any critics the Kano hasn't lost it yet.

The mixtape consists mainly of freestyles but even still, it is music worthy to be blasted through any stereo system. I have listened to all of it and I must say although its not Kano's best piece of work he has definitely tried and given his all.

Paul Smith Is The Way To Go


£60

Oh my Days! I just came across some new Paul Smith Stuff and they can only be described as top draw. Definitely appealing to the young generation, this designer has shown why he is renowned as England's Finest.


£100

Here are only two examples of how diverse the Paul Smith Spring range is. The line incorporates indie and urban to give an unmistakable look.

Roll Deep - Good Times Video




*Link on Title*

This tune has sampled a 90's dance classic and has been turned into another product of electro-grime if you can call it that.

I suppose its Roll Deep's way of celebrating their record deal with Virgin Records. A lot of drinking, dancing and wearing the new garm range; Swagger Muffin.

The video itself has pretty much all the members of Roll Deep with verses done by Wiley who turned up to the shoot, Brazen, Breeze and Scratchy. The hook itself it sung by Jodie Connor who has done a lot of work on the underground scene.

Is it cheesy? maybe. Chart? again maybe. What I do know, this tune will challenge the old school Roll Deep's fans loyalty as this is real different tune to perhaps Badman or even The Avenue. What can be said though, Roll Deep are trying to find a new audience to make more money.

Newham Generals ft. Esco - Im A General



Nearly a year after his death, Esco Big Bars is spitting along side the legends that are D double E and Footsie.

The concept of the tune itself is basically The Generals and Esco telling everyone why they are the best. Produced by Skitz Beats and with video cameos from Tempz and Dizzee this tune is a return to the old school of grime if you can call it that. Simple kicks and claps and no sign of experimenting with sounds, this tune is real grimey.

Although his gone, his hook on this song shows why Esco was considered as one of the best spitters in the game and teaming up with the Dirtee Stank mandem has done no harm to his reputation.

Devlin joins Island Records!


Arguably the biggest artist of 2009 with tunes such as London City and Community Outcast and Giant, Devlin has now become the newest member of the Island Records team. With the label, he will release his long-awaited album Bud, Sweat and Beers.

Devlin has been MCing since the age of 16 and has been part of The OT crew and The movement. His work has not gone unnoticed with the reward being this deal.

Devlin was at the heart of a bidding war between 3 different record companies but it seems as though Island have come out on top.

Despite this new chapter in his life, Devlin is still and always will be an Outaker and will continue to make music with his crew and friends like Ghetts and Griminal.

Well Done Sir!

Bish Bash Bosh. Bashy Did it Again


Ashley 'Bashy' Thomas has done it again. After the success of the title theme 'Kiduulthood to Adulthood' and then his album Catch Me If You Can, he has come with his new tune for the movie shank.

"When the Sky Falls" is the theme for UK movie Shank, a film about gangs and street culture in the suburbs of London.

Getting onto the song, its a fast paced tune with typical Bashy lyrics. Clever wordplay, lyrics which people can relate to and a delivering technique which possesses too much energy (in a good way)

The chorus is sung beautifully by Loick Essien, sending shivers down ones spine. Not to mention the music video, the garms are nang and there are cameo performances by Tempz, JME, Giggs and Griminal.

This tune is not exactly a club banger but is still full of emotion which could send a grown man into tears.

Once again, Bashy has done his thing.

Wiley - The Eskibeat Instrumentals 1

I don't care, all of Wiley's beats are swag and these are just a collection during his years in grime. He came from jungle and is now in the electro scene but this CDs highlights Wiley's quality and skill as possibly the finest UK musician.

The man has help nurture the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder and most recently Ice Kid. These beats were the first of its kind. Playing on Rinse airwaves and on all of the first mixtapes, not to mention the Eskimo dances these beats truly illustrate the power and influence Eskiboy has on the grime scene. No wonder they call him the Godfather of Grime.



Available at UK Recordshop

Skepta - Red Bull Academy




It is one of the biggest, no wait, the biggest instrumental of 2010 and it comes courtesy of DJ turned MC and Producer Skepta. The song features as a bonus on his new mixtape entitled Been There Done That. The mixtape is already out so I can't be bothered to do a review.

The tune incorporates a variety of instruments and goes back to the 2005 vibe, not exactly eski but grimey if you know what I mean. I heard Tim Westwood loves playing this and used it when BBK came down to his studio to do a P.A

Real Deal With Watches

I've seen loads of people with these coloured watches but all different makes. I did a bit of research (10 second question during a phone call to a mate) and the brand we should be looking for is TOYWATCH. Let me repeat myself...TOYWATCH



These come in white, black and all the colours of the rainbow and are £125 from Flannels.

http://www.flannelsfashion.com/Men/Accessories.aspx

Obviously your paying for the brand, the original design and the quality but not everyone can afford this. So i did a little bit of digging and came up with this...



Identity London available at Argos for £10, yes £10

Unisex like Toywatch and available in any colour imaginable but question is, can you tell the difference?

Nang Creps At Affordable Prices

I bought the Black and Purple ones today for £35 from Jack Jones. Normally I don't even step a foot into that shop simply because the jeans are not of my taste. (River Island and Topman for me - better fit).

I went shopping with my sister and as I was looking for a sweatshirt, there was no harm going into Jack Jones. Suddenly from the corner of my eye, i saw these beauties and I picked them up without a second thought.

NUFF SAID

Eyepiece For the Rich and Vain
