Marvin Sparks interviews Devlin

You probably saw Devlin's first F64 . If you haven't play with traffic. Prepare for 64 more. I have no comment on this. Listen and digest real lyricism at its best Definitely top 3 in UK. One of my favourite lyricists on planet earth. I'm posting an interview I conducted just before Brainwashed but I couldn't release it them times (in Jamaica and the magazine hadn't released). Still interesting insight into Devlin and his career in my opinion so should still be a good enough read. I fully planned to upload the audio, then I remembered I don't have it. Left it on my cousin's laptop in Jamaica and the link has expired. Feck! To mark the release of Devlin's album 'Bud, Sweat and Beers' (*cough*) we spoke about the aim of debut single Brainwashed, him not liking comparisons to Mike Skinner, whether he's faced obstacles du to being a "white MC", his dislike for his single Giant, not caring about BBC Sound of 2010 list, working wi...

Devlin featuring Yasmin 'Runaway' video

Feeling this song on some next levels. 'Old tight (DJ) Yasmin on the vocals. Kills it on the hook. She's a gorgeous lass i'nt sheh? Even her normal talking voice is seductive. Hope this goes number 1. Not sure if it will, but his album should sell well regardless. Credible song with an interesting concept. As a bonus, Devlin's F(IYAH)64 I interviewed him a while back, will be in the next issue of Flavour magazine. Not sure when that's released but I'll post the link when it touches road.

Devlin - Community Outcast

Ventured over to Tinchy Stryder's blog to see what him and Lily Allen are complaining about (file-sharing), got bored of reading that so went through to see what else was good with Cloud 9 Strydes. Whilst scrolling through various pics and that I bumped into this tune by Movement member Devlin Now I've heard his name for a while but don't remember actually hearing him. After hearing this I am now a fan and want to hear MORE! What a tune! Feeling everything from the concept, voice for the voiceless, the cases he used, his accurate image (looks like one of them council estate dudes) to the video. I am not one of those types but I understand where he's coming from meaning in a strange way relate. I'm actually excited for him about this tune. He's like a edgy Mike Skinner. Main thing that may hold him back is his skippy flow.
