It’s not even the end of January and I’ve already accidentally insulted one of the world’s fastest rappers, designed a range of handbags and slyly referenced Dirty Dancing in an article about Cash Money. Busy times, eh? I’ve managed to find time in my hectic schedule to keep the SB.TV blog up to date in […]
Jam Baxter.
Look out for Jam Baxter in 2011. As one fifth of Contact Play, he’s standing out in the UK Hip Hop scene with his album, RinseOutFriday / SpackOutMonday. Tweet
Ramson Badbonez – Knock Knock.
Ramson Badbonez returns with a video for Knock Knock, from The Official Vol. 2. Shot by Robert Smith (@rbrtsmith), the video is reminiscent of videos by golden age rappers like Jeru the Damaja and Onyx. The moody vibe is perfect for Badbonez’s dark lyrics. Tweet
Yelawolf – Swagger Killer.
Yelawolf displays a different side on his new track Swagger Killer, which is sure to appeal to the ladies. I like the track, but unfortunately the swagger killer for me is the girl. Seriously, what the fuck is that accent about? She’s British, then she’s trying to be American, then bait English again. I’m sorry, […]
Polo Ralph Lauren Art Stars
I live north of the Thames. For non-Londoners that means it takes a lot to persuade me to venture south of the river. This year the only things worthy of the trip were Method Man at Matter, a meal at the Oxo Tower to celebrate getting a First in my degree and a rooftop screening […]
Give Badbonez A Break.
Ramson Badbonez returns with Give Badbonez A Break. Composing familiar breakbeats chopped and looped by DJ IQ and DJ Gone, the album boasts features from Jehst, Kyza Smirnoff, Kashmere and Verb T. It’s limited to 125 copies to be released exclusively through King Kong Holding Corporation mid-December. I’ve already reserved mine to make sure I […]
We Are London.
My friends Georgia and Rosie are currently starring in an Adidas campaign, which you might have seen across London. It was surreal the first time Rosie called me as I was walking past a giant version of her. But it always cheers me up when I see them looking happy and claiming they are a city. […]
London Brawling.
From budget cuts to riots, it seems the Thatcher years are on a comeback. It’s funny because when ConDem came into power, a lot of people were talking revolutions and though I could see how bad the future may become, I still found the footage of yesterday’s riots quite surreal. We could still learn a […]
True Tiger ft P Money – Slang Like This.
Check out the cameo from my girl Georgia LA in the new True Tiger video for Slang Like This featuring P Money. She’s at 2:11. Tweet
Verb T & Kashmere Album Launch.
If you’re looking for some good live music in London tonight, head to Camden’s Jazz Cafe for Jehst’s Young and Restless night. There’s a double album launch for Verb T’s Serious Games and Kashmere’s Galaktus: Power Cosmic. The pair will be performing tracks from their new releases while Mr Thing, Jazz T, Zygote and J’Da Kut will be […]
Game Over.
Here’s the video for the most talked about track in the UK at the moment, Tinchy Stryder’s Game Over. The track features some of the UK’s finest with Giggs, Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Devlin, Example and Chipmunk. Unfortunately no one told Chipmunk that the Burberry check game was over a long time ago. Who do […]
Crooked Tongues BBQ.
Stupidly I got really drunk the night before this year’s Crooked Tongue’s BBQ, so I spent the day wallowing in self pity and wondering when a picture of me wearing giant sunglasses without lenses was taken. I don’t know why I didn’t scoop up my dignity and roll to Shoreditch for the best hangover cure […]
Digmund Freud EP.
Speaking of Mystro, his album Digmund Freud EP was released today. Make sure you get your copy, available via iTunes and Suspect Packages. Tweet
Fire In The Booth.
Charlie Sloth celebrated the first birthday of his 1xtra show with a cypher featuring the best of the UK. Ramson Badbonez, Mystro, Black the Ripper, Smiler, Skandal, Genesis Elijah and Strapzy were the lucky seven to be chosen for the show. If the talent on show isn’t enough for you, Mystro’s cheeky one liners make […]
The Official Part 2.
I’ve been a fan of UK Hip Hop since the days when fake I.D was essential to get into Kung Fu nights, but over the last few years I’ve been slightly disappointed by what’s on offer in the UK. While I think it’s worth celebrating the mainstream success of formerly underground artists. I like my […]
