Doorly's Stolen The Show, But Get Will To Number 1 !

Wiley's back on his commercial grind after Wearing My Rolex hovered dangerously close to Number 1, and as much as I appreciated See Clear Now musically, it never really took off did it !? Race Against Time for me is 2009's best CD. It shows Wiley at his very best over a blend of disgusting production from Maniac, Bless Beats and Danny Weed among others.

 People are still hanging on for The Illusive, but since the signing of contacts between Will and Island the grimey promise of the album seems lost. So we're left with this: Take That. I like the track, it's energetic, it's live, it's in your face. Chew Fu's productions suit the club scene well with the rapid patterns mixed with Wiley's emphatic vocals, the extended mix is a thing of beauty.

 I sure do hope Wiley gets to the top of the charts like Dizzee and Tinchy before him, I prefer this effort to Wearing My Rolex, but it's Doorly's marvellous Dubstep shenanigans that impress me. The bass on Track 4 is just absolutely obscene. Disgusting. Dirty. Speaker-Raping. The 3 way-crew remix is disappointing, Scratchy impresses though. BUY NOW AND GET WILEY TO NUMBER ONE.

Get the nice little package of tune from 7 digital.

Wiley - Take That (Official Video)

Great video from Wiley, not his usual field, but a big tune all the same. I think I prefer "Wearing My Rolex" in all honestly, but, the drop at 2:50 on this song is MAD. This is out on the 28th December via Island Records (I'm strongly assuming it's with Island anyway), a bit awkward considering the fact you'll have some SHIT X-factor winner hogging the top spot with there money launderd battyboy noise, so a number one is a bit of a reach. All the same, SUPPORT Wiley when his single arrives in December and take time to check out his new website..

Ohhh and how rude, big up too Chew Fu !

Sooo That Was September

Have you ever watched Greyhounds race before ? If not then here's a good one for you:

That race above could in some ways be compared to the grime scene. Firstly it's a good laugh. Yes, that's right, sometimes I like to sit down with my Bearded Dragon on my shoulder and laugh at the grime scene. Because despite the "badman" stigma it carries, I believe thy artists to be comedians, particularly guys like Chipmunk, who in one random twitter rant said "Fuck the world". No son, the world says fuck YOU. Well I do anyway.

North London MC Hammer could well be the little greyhound who slips up at the start and then goes on to win the race. Because after his tremendously long absence from Grime, Mr Hurricane City has raced back at full speed and put out one of the year's best releases. Catch my review here.

CD OF THE YEAR. So far. But that's not to put a dampening doubt over it though, P Money's bananas flow over insane beats from Sukh Knight, Royal T and Silencer makes for brick-wall-testing listening. Review here.

If I'm honest, get it from iTunes so you can choose the Silencer remix.

Elsewhere...

24 Hours in the life of Butterz makes for a good watch and you get a shiny new mix with it ! Watch and download here.

Oh and finally...

I said the race was like Grime also because September represents the opening gate. Expect a flood of releases now from the likes of Wiley, Dogzilla, Deeperman, Scorcher, Flowdan, Roll Deep, Blacks, Devlin, Ghetts and many many MANY more. (Don't hope too hard on Ghetts and Devlin though, eh).
