Produced by Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor, this is sure to be one of the elite riddims for Summer 09. I feel he made mistake last year by releasing Day Rave too late for ATI/RTI. Should still be fresh for then! As many fans of the young hitmaker will know, there is usually a thought process behind naming his riddims. This is called the Fitness and sounds similar to the Work Out from last year which featured Mavado's 'Inna Di Car Back' amongst others. Geddit? Both futuristic dancehall (I think that's what they call it) merging dancehall artists with dance/housey 4x4 music. I wonder if Sean Paul will have a piece for his album. If I were him this would have been the canvas for my first single. Features pieces from Mavado, Beenie Man, Vybz Cartel, Elephant Man and many more but my pick is Aidonia. Most probably won't ring off in UK 'cos people seem to be slow on Aidonia and usually judge songs more on the name of artist than quality of song. Yes, 100 Stab ...

Said I'd link up an interview to whoever gets the answer to why the album was delayed. The big man Robbo asked him last week. If anyone asked it would have been him so watch... Whataway a man can chat eeeh?!

Right, I have a few things playing on my mind, so this will be the vehicle to vent/express. If you are offended by typo's and grammatical errors, this post isn't for you. It wouldn't be a rant if I went through and corrected. This is the raw version, not fit for airplay First off, the news coverage by both BBC and Sky News has been nothing short of disgraceful. The greatest entertainer in history has just died yet all they want to do is focus on the negatives. I woke up this morning confused, wondering if another set of money-grabbing parents forced their brat to come forward with lies accusing Michael of touching him. The focus is more or less on child abuse charges, his face and other pointless hatin. The ITV documentary was the best thing on telly all night. Gave a nice reflection of Michael, focused mainly on his achievements, impact and put what I consider a true story behind his eccentricities. Think it was a program they had already made to air when MJ was scheduled ...

I had a whole blog for Throwback Thursdays but due to the news, I am going to throwback some Michael Jackson classics. RIP the greatest Entertainer there will ever be. You will never be ecplipsed, hopefully now those who casted those evil words about him will treat and respect him as the great he really is. It was just the other day I was rollin back the years doing the leaning forward bit on Smooth Criminal and parts of the Thriller video. If you never practiced Jacko's moves when you were younger you never lived. Some of my faves (out of the ones I can embed). Special shouts to Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Wanna Be Startin Something, Bad, Liberian Girl... the list really is endless The most ufcked up thing is I refunded my ticket to his concert at the o2 yesterday because they moved my show until March. Luckily enough I saw him at World Music Awards in 06 and I'll treasure that forever. RIP THE legend. Only Muhammed Ali can talk to you

See usually I don't do this (blog bait videos you will see at every other blog stop you do today), but erm... First single off his album Imperial Blaze released August 18th (if I recall correctly). This ya one name So Fine, produced by Di Genius aka Stephen McGregor I had the pleasure of attending his exclusive invite-only album listening BBQ @ Atlantic compound. Album is different to what I expected. Worked with some of the biggest Dancehall producers such as Leftside (aka Mr. Evil. You know from the tune Tuck In Ya Belly?), Don Carleon, Arif Cooper and others including a self-produced song and one by his brother. Must admit, there is a lack of bass and unlike his previous efforts it doesn't reflect what's going on in the Dancehall scene right now. We all know Sean for jumping on the hottest riddims at the time later than the original pack, instrumental tweaked to distinguish from the rest (Diwali and Steps being best examples of tweaked ones) or riddims that will buss (Ic...

Ratings to Shuna Parl actually freestyling for real. Major props. Question: why did Swerve use Inflation when Dancehall artist Aidonia already vocalled it? Originality brejrin!!! Use Sirens, Chants or one of the other big UK Funky instro's

Ding ding!!! This beef is actually quite funny. Two Grime og'z different end of the spectrum making full use of technology to get at each other. Haven't seen a strictly trash talking visual beef in the UK for a while (can't remember the last time) and to me, this beef is realer than the two from the same crew (Wiley and Skepta). Take note of 0:43 seconds (which sounds like and indirect to me) and BBK line from 1:48 Anyway, Jammer responded via key to the streets roads GrimeDaily Lol must say I was entertained. "They throw piss at you", "if my son sees it on YouTube I'm gonna have to beat you up" etc. are good quotables Mr. Pow responded with this: No disrespect but I'm sure many will hope this stays on video... Here's Bizzle and the Big Dawg talking about the "throwing piss" incident Currently lol'n @ this PALMERSGREENDON (11 hours ago) Show Hide Stop hating on westwood, hes done alot for the grime scene. If he wern't ar...
