Funk Butcher ft Shea Soul - Pull me close


For all those quick to write UK Funky off as some foolishness with shit MC's spitting nursery rhymes...YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS A LISTEN!

Big shouts to my friend Funk Butcher, after becoming one of the scenes top djs over the last 18 months, he's set to take the UK House & Funky world by storm with his production...one of the hardest working & most driven people I've had the pleasure of meeting.

Be prepared to hear this all summer its already been heavily supported by the likes of 1xtra!

Devlin ft Giggs - Shot Music



Dagenham boy Devlin is the latest Grime MC to get a major label deal, recently signing with Island Records...

Not tooo sure about the video Devs, maybe you shoulda left all your mates down the pub & just kept the MC ones in the video?

Skepta X Diddy





































So today Twitter's been alive with the news that Diddy was looking for someone in the UK to do a grime remix to his current Dirty Money single 'Hello Good morning'

I saw many a name thrown around (Davinche, RudeKid, Swindle & loads more) but the one which stuck was Boy Better Know's Microphone Champion Skepta (shit maybe that 'Bad Boy' single was good for suttum!)

I sincerely hope Diddy does right by Skeppy & the US gets to hear what we've got to offer...this could be the start of something big!

Hate on!




















This week my shit's been getting reported to Blogspot & Mediafire for breach or copyright infringement...

Now, as many downloads as the new mix cd's had, its not anywhere near the numbers where labels & companies give a fuck, so I suspect someone or some people are hating on your boy!

I have my suspicions on who that may be, but obviously Blogspot & Mediafire arent about to grass em up to me, so I'll just say this...

You motivate me & make me work that little bit harder, so hate on hater(s) as you'll be seeing my name around alot more!

Ta!
