Gangsta's On Their Lipsin Ting

Gangsta (Banned from TV) is the brand new video for the lead single off Concrete Jungle (new album) currently set for November release. Scorcher has returned and is set to shock fans with his ‘gangsta’ bravado. Cue lots of gang signs, bling and aggressive looking black males all locked up in a tiny room keeping it gangsta, of course.

It is a sign of improvement that hip hop is being covered on all fronts by emerging home grown talent and the kids should lap up the bad boy image with delight. The vocals are delivered with the same swagger-tastic flavour that fans have come to expect from Scorch.

Scorcher - Gangsta (Banned from TV)

Undoubtedly UK hip hop/grime purists will be slightly disgruntled by the American production style and flamboyant London, ghetto gangstas puffing out their chests for the camera. Although it remains a solid effort in a niche of hip hop that is often frowned upon.

The question is left quite open as to what to expect on the coming album. With Gangsta already banned from television, Scorcher’s artistic direction isn’t clear. The American sound is unlikely to have him classed as one of the UK’s best and it will not bring in major money without television or radio backing. With the November release date looming, time will tell if Concrete Jungle will cement Scorcher at the top.
