In this day of an age whenever an emcee drops a “freestyle” be it via the internets or at a radio station, nine times out of ten, one would have to type inverted commas at either end of the word as said “freestyle” is genuinely not a freestyle. However, there are a small hand full [...]

“just the thought of being broke makes my nerves twitch…” – Don Trip, Hip Hop’s new poster child for hard hitting reality rap, has fired off an all new “freestyle” over the production originally found on 50 Cent‘s mean mugging banger of the same name, lifted from the recently released LP The Big 10.

It would not be too far-fetched to attribute much of today’s UK music to So Solid Crew. Bursting onto the scene circa 2000, the garage rap crew influenced much of today’s sound.

Everyone knows how much Meek Mill murdered “I’m A Boss”… Well as expected Grime titan Ghetts does the track justice. It’s not necessarily his best work but don’t get it twisted, Ghetts is just one of those rare artists, regardless of genre, who’s less than stellar work is still better than that of 95% his [...]

Seven months after its original was released, comes Marvell emcee Double S‘ own rendition of Chipmunk‘s ”Every Gyal” single, lifted from Chip’s sophomore LP Transition.
