King Of Grime? It's All A Blur

North London emcee Skepta has intensified affairs between himself and Wiley by releasing a video titled 'In The Country' aimed the Eski Boy and his decision to leave London to live more quietly away from all the drama.
Skeppy claims it's in retaliation to 'Zip It Up' taken off Wiley's Race Against Time which made a few remarks about Skepta's claim to the King Of Grime.
It's funny to hear the Blur sample on the chorus and if that's really Wiley's house... woah! Shout out to Smokey Barz doing his thing on the camera, he's calling himself Spiel Berg these days if you can keep up with his Twitter page.

Lonely Side Of Life

I got a Twitter account a while back,  I don't post (twit doesn't sound right does it?) but I stumbled upon Chantelle Fiddy's page the other day. @Mr Kenzo got my attention when I noticed he said 'I'd sign Giggs and manage Maverick Sabre'. On closer inspection I even found Miss Fiddy posting Mav's Balcony TV appearance on her blog. Big up to Chantelle, Maverick deserves recognition throughout the whole of England and beyond. Here's the video for anyone who hasn't caught it yet.

Wat The Blogclart!!!

Summer has begun so it's only right that I return from blog semi-retirement to post up details of a new Klashnekoff blog called Wat The Blogclart!!!. 

Not a lot has been heard from the 'Black Russian' in the past year but he puts many issues to rest in his opening post. Confirming his next album 'Back To The Sagas' which will hopefully showcase the same versatility that made him loved on 'The Sagas Of...'. Klash explains how the studio was robbed during the recording process and how he and Smasher all building it all back up again from scratch. Damn, he wasn't lying when he said the past 2 years have been tough! 

And to all the Reggae fans Klashy is planning to drop Sound Klash which plans to cover a different sound from his regular style. Big tings agwan for Hackney's ex-Terra Firma member.

Keep checking his blog for updates Wat The Blogclart
