Are You Grimey Enough?

OK! Breaking news today is that after Kano's contract at 679 Recordings not being renewed he has come out in an interview with 1Xtra and said he wants to return back to his 'roots'. He will be releasing a brand new album in April entitled '140 Underground Street' which will hopefully showcase his grimier flows once again.
It's funny reading on a lot of the message boards people doubting Kane's intentions of returning to the scene. Whether he has 'fallen off' or not, one things for sure and that is it'll certainly rattle up a few emcees and up the quality output levels. Personally I can't wait for the return of Kano even if he did refuse to be labelled a 'Grime MC' in the past. Fingers crossed from now on his work will be 'grimey enough'.



Ghetto is back again with the third leaked track from his eagerly anticipated 'Freedom Of Speech' album. The track is called 'Who's Got?' and features a Wiley sample on the chorus.
"Who's got lyrics? Me not Wiley/ Who's got bars? Me not Skepta!"
It's louder than stampeding elephants and Ghetto is spitting with such venom that I'm going to get a blood test to see if I've caught anything.
I'm seriously thinking that Ghetts has surpassed the hype he received for 'Ghetto Gospel'. As long as the production stays on point which I'm positive it will with Lewi White and Smasher behind the boards, I see this shaping up to be one of, if not the best grime release yet.

Ghetto - Who's Got?


Remember 'Freedom Of Speech' is out 10th March 2008!


After an image of Wiley's new album cover leaked onto the internet, the Eski-Boy promptly uploaded the official 'Grime Wave' album cover to his myspace page. Aren't the colourful letters lovely?



And probably my favourite remix of Wearing My Rolex so far has to go to Blacks. It's actually just a mix DJ Initial put together and was uploaded onto Black's Myspace, but the tune is still nonetheless very heavy. Check it out at Black's Myspace

Lastly a nice little article I noticed up on XXLMag.com's pages:
"A 19-year-old man was arrested in Brookville, Florida on Sunday (February 3) for singing a Lil Boosie song with explicit lyrics in the presence of children. According to Tampa Bay’s News 10, Amy Churchill, the children’s mother, called the police to report that Christopher Holder was yelling out profanities a he walked with two younger kids on Brookville’s Gordon Loop. An offense report notes that Churchill explained that she did not think her children should have to hear that sort of language. When deputies arrived, Holder explained that he was just singing a song by Baton Rouge artist Lil Boosie. The report revealed that Holder himself told the deputies that he didn’t believe that children should have to hear profanity either. Nonetheless, he was taken to the Hernando County jail and charged with disorderly conduct. It is unclear which Boosie track Holder was singing."

All I could think when reading this was, why hasn't Boosie been arrested yet?
