Bournemouth based multi-genre rapper / lyricist Sir Mic teams up with fast rising singer / songwriter Jasmine Knight to kick off 2012 with a brand new anthem titled ‘Live Like This'.
Renowned for his distinct and diverse style, Sir Mic has long possessed the ability to seamlessly venture into a whole host of musical genres. The popular south coast rapper has previously released three mixtapes (Mini Me Vol 1, 2 & 3), featured on Clubland Smashed (the UK's biggest dance music compilation series), featured alongside the likes of Jadakiss, Joell Ortiz and Ruste Juxx on British hip hop producer Stealf's debut album and performed alongside the likes of Tinie Tempah, So Solid Crew, DJ Cameo and DJ Semtex on the live performance circuit.

The third single from Sir Mic sees the diverse lyricist team up with long time collaborator Jasmine Knight to present a record which is as credible as it is commercially friendly. Produced by DJ Tempa and driven by a melancholic acoustic guitar riff, the track sees Sir Mic break down the petty troubles and arguments which bring an end to the best of relationships. The track features some perspicuous, sharp-witted wordplay from the south coast rapper, which is accompanied by a perfectly understated chorus from Jasmine, creating one of the most captivating hip hop break-up songs you're ever likely to hear.

‘Live Like This’ will be available digitally from Valentine’s Day (14/02/12).

RD returns with his brand new smash single Chasing Elizabeth

21 year old rapper RD returns to the scene with his brand new smash single titled 'Chasing Elizabeth'.
Born and raised in Barking (London, UK), RD took his first steps into the grime scene at just 13, performing at youth clubs and pirate stations from Dagenham to Hackney with his cousins S-Kid and Haystee. In 2006 RD met East London MC Jammin, and the pair went on to form UK collective Conspiracy Theory alongside fellow artist Imz. The collective then went on to become Nationality, and it was around this time that RD decided to take a step away from the industry to further craft his sound away from the limelight.
Fast forward to 2011, and RD is now set to return to the forefront of the scene with his brand new single titled 'Chasing Elizabeth'. The track sees RD outline his mission in life to chase the Queens Head (money) over a fidgety, synth led instrumental. Despite his young age, RD relies on his experience to craft an assertively strong flow whilst delivering some pleasingly epigrammatic punchlines for good measure.

Rax - Gingerbread Man (Halloween Special)

20-year-old London based rapper Rax launches part 3 of the ‘The Black Crook Project’ with the release of a Halloween special titled ‘Gingerbread Man’. Based around Charles M. Barras' 1866 musical 'The Black Crook', Rax’s current project sees the unique wordsmith release 1 new video every 2 weeks for 6 months.

Rax honed his microphone skills from the age of 15, before signing with fast rising musical enterprise Clear Cut Entertainment / Audio Surveillance Records. The charismatic emcee then released his first solo long player titled 'The Auditions' in 2009. The mixtape went on to receive over 1000 downloads within the first few days of its release, with hard copies of the project proving equally as popular on the streets of London. Rax then released several viral videos (including his unforgettable 'I Wanna Rock' remix which clocked up over 30,000 views on YouTube), before putting plans in motion for his most ambitious project to date - #TBCP.

The first two videos from TBCP have clocked up 15,000 and 35,000 views on YouTube respectively, with expectations even higher for forthcoming releases.

The third video from the project, titled ‘Gingerbread Man’, is a Halloween special, which sees Rax deliver his signature wordplay over an intense string-led instrumental. Combining tongue in cheek punch lines with a contemporary yet accomplished delivery, Rax sits comfortably somewhere between authentic hip hop and commercially viable music, which is all capped off with a dose of refreshingly youthful exuberance. The audio is accompanied by a fantastically creative visual, which was co-directed by Rax himself.

Sway - Still Speedin' the Official Video

 
In 2004 the UK’s urban scene took a new direction pioneered by then 22 year old rapper Sway. With a plan to make himself heard and respected as a producer, writer and namely an artist he independently promoted and released his mixtapes “This Is My Promo” Vol. 1 & 2. These releases proceeded to change the rules of the game as they earned him awards and accolades even before the release of his debut album.  Off the back of these early endeavours Sway went up against US heavyweights 50 Cent and The Game in the 2005 Mobo’s as Best Hip-Hop Newcomer still without a having released an album.


By 2006 his debut “This Is My Demo” was one of the most eagerly awaited albums of the year and lived up to expectations which The Independent described as; “not just the best British rap albums in years, but simply the best rap album in years, full stop”. Self producing more than fifty percent of the album Sway also worked alongside emerging talents such as Al Shux who later went on to produce ‘Empire State Of Mind’ for Jay Z. Together they forged a sound to match Sway’s lyrical ingenuity. Sway’s debut album is considered a landmark for British “urban” and hip-hop music receiving widespread acclaim. The record received further mainstream endorsement when it was selected as one of the Mercury Music Prize ‘Albums Of The Year’ – one of the most respected accolades in UK music which honours only 12 albums each year.


From the release of this album came sell out tours in the USA, Europe and Africa, award show performances and collaborations with top artists across the globe including Akon, Kaiser Chiefs, Lemar, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Craig David, Lupe Fiasco, Chamillionaire, Ian Brown, Madness, Ali Campbell (UB40) and Jamelia. Having an ability to identify raw talent Sway still took time to work with unknown artists such as Mr Hudson and Chipmunk helping to facilitate label deals and provide them with early direction. In 2007 Sway’s accolades started to reach beyond the UK winning the BET (Black Entertainment Television) award for Best International Artist, the first time a UK artist had been entered, let alone won. The award was driven by a public vote, and was testament to the fact his lyrical prowess and achievements had by no means gone unnoticed outside of the UK.

In the run up to his second album Sway had become one of the UK’s most sought after rappers. When “The Signature LP” dropped late 2008 the strong ties he had forged with Akon were made official with their collaborative single “Silver & Gold”. The video’s viewings topping 5 million on YouTube soon after it’s release. This album was even more ambitious than his debut demonstrating his abilities as a producer, even drafting in a 22 piece orchestra, live musicians and guest appearances including Sting’s daughter Coco, fellow MOBO award winner 2face Idibia and Lemar. Though much of the album was born out of tougher times - due to loss of loved ones who passed away during its creation - it still kept true his signature style of witty wordplay and razor-sharp punch lines whilst demonstrating an air of maturity like no other urban artist had yet achieved. 

Sway’s prolific abilities have earned him worldwide respect and this has enabled him to form a strong alliance with Giorgio Tuinfort, the producer who masterminded Gwen Stefani’s “Sweet Escape” as well as becoming Akon’s main in house producer. This recognition by major US rap talent has also stretched to artists Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. Sway has also worked with other US production talent such as Emile Haynie who has produced for Eminem and Kanye West. Being the only other rapper to feature on Lupe Fiasco’s 3^rd studio album “Lasers’ is further testament to Sway’s international acclaim. 


To date Sway has received many major awards, sold over 100,000 albums, and released seven mixtapes, of which “The Delivery 1 & 2” are his most recent, paving the way for his long awaited third studio album “The Deliverance”. The first Delivery Mixtape was hailed by The Times as “a mixtape of album standards” and had more than 10,000 downloads in the first week with the 2^nd doing equally as well and to date them collectively having more than 50,000 downloads. The Deliverance album is due for release early 2012 and set to be an awe inspiring record demonstrating the showmanship and versatility that his fans have come to expect and prove that Sway truly deserves the title of the UK’s No.1 Lyricist as well as a producer and writer of the highest international standards. Which is one of the reasons Bucks were excited to have him sign with their publishing company. The lead single from the forth-coming album is “Still Speeding”, which will be released through 3beat Records mid autumn.

Sway's first official track 'Still Speedin'' taken from 'The Deliverance' album coming out soon on 3Beat. Look out for versions with Kano & an undisclosed major US feature dropping soon.

Madhat Mcgore & Jimmy Snookz feat Skipper Heart On My Sleeve Video

Edinburgh based rapper Madhat Mcgore teams up with North London native Jimmy Snooks for their biggest release to date - a ten track LP fittingly titled 'City 2 City'.

Recorded in just two days and featuring the likes of Eurogang member Villain, Maffiella & Queen Ice Cream aka The Diva Twins, fellow Mudfam Regime members Skipper & Melody Melz, Fedayeen Regime member D Millz, Rago from ITN and Madhat’s fellow scot The Riddlah, the highly anticipated long player displays sharp, intelligent wordplay from two of the UK's most revered underground rhymers. Accompanied by an equally impressive and brilliantly varied backdrop of hiphop-grime-dance infused instrumentals, 'City 2 City' takes the listener on a journey through what is the audio equivalent of a smog filled inner city landscape.

25 year old Edinburgh born Madhat has been writing and producing music for the past 11 years. His debut LP 'Unvarnished Scribbles' received vast critical acclaim, with The Daily Record newspaper hailing the release as "a massive landmark album for Scottish Rap". Following the release of the LP, Madhat decided to leave his record label and began talks with Edinburgh based imprint Music Comes First Records. A contract was swiftly signed, and Madhat continued to raise his profile with the release of several EPs and 'The Theophilus Carter LP', which featured the likes of UK heavyweights Nolay and Klashnekoff. These subsequent releases attracted the attention of Vic Galloway at BBC Radio 1 Scotland, who invited Madhat to the studio for a live session, and paved the way for further strong reviews from the press; “anything Dizzee can do, Madhat can do”, “think Eminem meets Begbie from Trainspotting” and “Scotlands top rapper, no question” being some of the most memorable quotes.

With his latest project, Madhat has delivered his most rounded sounded to date, and teaming up with Mudfam lyricist Jimmy Snooks may ultimately prove to be an accidental stroke of genius. The relentless delivery of perfectly formed vocals, along with the combination of powerful, multicultural accents makes 'City 2 City' a slice of bass heavy, head nod inducing hip hop pie, and one which you won't want to share around.

We are currently pushing the third single from the LP titled 'Heart On My Sleeve'.

RAX ‘The Wholemeal’ Freestyle

20 year old London based rapper Rax continues his most ambitious project to date with the release of the second video from ‘The Black Crook Project’. Based around Charles M. Barras' 1866 musical 'The Black Crook', the project will see Rax release 1 new video every 2 weeks for 6 months.
Rax honed his microphone skills from the age of 15, before signing with fast rising musical enterprise Clear Cut Entertainment / Audio Surveillance Records. The charismatic emcee then released his first solo long player titled 'The Auditions' in 2009.

The second video from The Black Crook Project sees Rax in the studio doing what he does best - delivering almost 3 minutes of pure straight spitting. Utilising the instrumental from Nas’ 2009 anthem ‘Film’, Rax proves that despite his young age critics would be foolish to presume his lyrical dexterity doesn’t surpass far beyond his years. The video is the perfect follow up to Part 1 of The Black Crook Project, which received outstanding press support and has clocked up over 14,000 views on YouTube since its release just two weeks ago.

Introducing Multiple Skillz - Fatherless

Introducing 24 year old rapper / songwriter / producer / engineer Multiple Skillz - a South East London based wordsmith aiming to make an impact in the British hip hop world with his uplifting new single titled 'Fatherless'.
Multiple Skillz, being, multiply skilled, first started DJing at just 13 years young, building favour locally by always staying on top of his game and being recognised for always knowing how to please a crowd. After 3 years of playing other artist's tracks, Skillz moved into production, taking inspiration from the sounds around him (mostly consisting of grime). Around the same time he began to write and record tracks for his own enjoyment, but it wasn’t until he noticed people reacting positively to what he had to say that he began to take MCing seriously.
Skillz soon realised that he could further develop his abilities as a rapper by shifting from the traditional UK sound of rap and creating his own unique sound. He soon began to weave clever wordplay and intelligent punchlines into his music, presenting a sound which is powerfully poetic and masterfully engaging.
With his latest release, Skillz delivers a poignant reminder of a generation of fatherless children often lost in modern day society. It's likely that from hearing 'Fatherless' you would class Multiple Skillz as a political rapper, but he has an adept ability to deliver his message without at any time sounding preachy or pretentious to the listener. Accompanied by an ingenuously simple black and white video, the single is an impressive prelude to a string of releases set to be delivered by Multiple Skillz over the coming months.
'Fatherless' will be available digitally from 27/10/11.

P.C.T: 'Bubbles Go Bang' [Video]

North London-based artist-producer Patrick Coleridge-Taylor, aka P.C.T, is about to change the face of UK urban music with his upcoming single ‘Bubbles Go Bang’. This club-orientated-yet-universal slice of futuristic sonic stimulation, which is a charismatically party-driven fusion of Hip-Hop and Electronic House (comparable to a musical cocktail consisting of one part Tinie Tempah, a dash of The Prodigy, a splash of Kanye West, a twist of Eminem and a shot of Daft Punk), is like nothing that you have heard before, in that it incorporates both a ‘secret’ production technique and a truly unique lyrical style which can only be described as being ‘genius’.

‘P’ has been bubbling on the underground whilst completing a BA Music Technology degree, but now that the finish line is finally in sight, he has decided to bring 2011 to a close by releasing the smash that is ‘Bubbles Go Bang’.

‘Bubbles Go Bang’ is sure to satisfy. Showcasing P’s lyrical prowess through one-of-a-kind pop culture references to everything from The Simpsons to ‘Bo Selecta (and gems such as “F*** a genie in a bottle, the devil in a jar with a scar under his eye at the bar is me!”), as well as an infectious ‘street slang’-elucidating chorus woven around a club-thumping beat, this track makes for a bona fide hit from the up-and-comer. This single sees P wax lyrical about individuality, making the most of life and appreciating women, amongst other things. The track, produced by P and accompanied by a video which P also directed, serves as a positive indication of what to expect from him in the new year (when he will be staking a claim for a place amongst the best in fresh UK urban talent).

P’s universal-yet-credible blend of Hip-Hop, Electro, Dance and Alternative transcends socio-cultural boundaries in a way that brings people from all walks of life together in celebration of the power of music. Thus it is just artistically-focused, accessible music that is about meaningful enjoyment and in this respect, it is loyal to the true spirit of Hip-Hop which was so essential to its growth during its formative years (making it a refreshing departure from the less-than-inspired norms which have become synonymous with contemporary mainstream Hip-Hop). In brief, P’s musical manifesto is; “To entertain and inspire in equal measure…”, and it is a certainty that after one listen to this track, you’ll agree that he most definitely has what it takes to do so.

P.C.T epitomizes the D.I.Y ethos that has become so prevalent within the ever-changing modern-day music industry, in that a genuine passion for his craft drives this multi-talented multimedia entrepreneur to write and produce his songs, direct and edit his music videos and independently release material through his self-run independent record label Danger Money Records all of his own accord (whilst funding the whole process out of his own pocket). That said, with the continued growth of the UK urban-pop market, the time has come for it’s next star to burst onto the scene… P.C.T please proceed to the stage.

‘Bubbles Go Bang’ will be released on Danger Money Records on 21st November 2011. As P.C.T’s story unfolds we are more than happy for you to become a part of it by supporting him and his work in any way possible. Interview / editorial / appearance requests are welcomed.

Critically acclaimed rapper Byron releases 2 part mixtape

Critically acclaimed rapper / lyricist Byron returns with the release of a brand new two part mixtape titled ‘Deep Lyrics/Dirty Beats’. Described by Byron himself as "a body of work that is mostly Grime, with a sprinkling of Dubstep", the mixtape is set to continue the 25 year olds rise to establishing himself as one of the most talented wordsmiths Britain's 'urban' wave has ever washed ashore.

Hailing from the much-maligned town of Slough, the 25 year olds penchant for witty wordplay and intricate vocal intonation has resulted in an enviable amount of support from his industry peers. After five successful years as part of Nine High - which produced two mixtapes, an album and an Australian tour, Byron released his debut mixtape, 'Jack of None', which received heavy support from acclaimed radio tastemakers BBC 1xtra (DJ Target, Ras Kwame), as well as notable underground rotation on stations in both the UK and Australia. He then followed this up with the five track deep 'Hardworker EP', which received praise from many leading blogs and airplay on Choice FM, as well as a selection of large campus-based radio shows in the US.

Byron's latest project draws influence from an eclectic pallet of musical tastes, epitomising the natural growth in both his writing style and musical output. All of this, merged with impressive production of esteemed producer Chris Loco (Joe Budden, Ms Dynamite, Ghetts, Emeli Sande), makes 'Deep Lyrics/Dirty Beats' an essential listen for any Electronic, Grime or Hip Hop music fan.

With a growing fan base, key press / radio support and some truly progressive music in his catalogue, Byron is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the international music scene, and 'Deep Lyrics/Dirty Beats' is another step in what is sure to be a long and illustrious career for the Slough born rhymer.

Introducing Colours Miyagi - Where’s My Money now available

Introducing Colours Miyagi, a British rapper from Jamaican origin who was born and raised in Peckham, UK.

Colours is considered a pioneer in the London rap scene, and built up a substantial name for himself in the capital via collaborations with the likes of Giggs and Slumz. 2009 saw Colours release ‘Fast Runners’ alongside Giggs (which is now considered to be an underground classic), before swiftly taking a break from music after discovering the faith of Islam. Shortly after deciding to take a step back from his musical career, Colours was arrested and eventually found himself serving a sentence in prison, completely halting his previous ventures in the music industry.

Now, in 2011, Colours is back and ready to stamp his authority on a scene which has grown considerably since his departure. Marking his return with a critically acclaimed mixtape titled ‘Battle Of The Soul’, this unique and talented lyricist is firmly back where he rightfully belongs – behind a microphone.

Colours latest project, titled ‘Where’s My Money’ is out now via Industreets Ent, and includes collaborations with the cream of the crop when it comes to British talent, including the likes of DVS, K Koke, Babs, Margs, Juvenile and many more. Featuring the sure fire street hit ‘White And Black’, the album is set to catapult Colours to the top of the UK industry in one swift move. OiOiOi!

The first promotional video from the album is available to watch now at:

Snoop Dogg to play Liverpool O2 Academy

 SNOOP DOGG + guests

The Dome, Brighton, Sunday 15th May 2011

Birmingham HMV Institute, Monday 16th May 2011

London HMV Forum, Tuesday 17th May 2011

Liverpool O2 Academy, Wednesday 18th May 2011

Snoop Dogg adds three new UK dates ahead of his HMV Forum show in London on Tuesday 17th May 2011 with special performances at the The Dome in Brighton on Sunday 15th May 2011, Birmingham HMV Institute on Monday 16th May 2011 and the Liverpool O2 Academy on Wednesday 18th May 2011 to mark the launch of his 11^th studio album Doggumentary. With all eyes on the skinny kingpin from Long Beach, Doggumentary is the perfect title for the man who continues to occupy the throne as the world’s most famous rapper.

Performing new tracks from the album, tha DoggFather will be bringing special guests to join him on stage to mark the occasion.

Snoop pulled in legendary producers from all corners of the globe including Battlecat, The Cataracs, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz, Jason Cox, David Banner, THX, DJ Khalil, Fredwreck, Jake One, Kanye West, Mike Dean, Jeff Bhasker, Lex Luger, Meech Wells, Soul Mechanix, Mr. Porter,Rick Rock, Rick Rude, Scoop DeVille, Scott Storch, Warryn Campbell, DJ Reflex, among others to create an album that is set to be the soundtrack of the summer.

With a career spanning nearly two decades and eleven solo albums to his name, Snoop Dogg has sold more than 25 million records in the United States alone, and over 40 million albums worldwide. Now also successful actor, appearing in hit films such as ‘Starsky and Hutch’, and even with his own TV show, ‘Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood’, Snoop has garnered a new generation of fans and continues to increase his iconic status.

For the launch of the new album, not only is Snoop utilising his unrivaled digital presence to offer his fans inside access to the creative process behind the Doggumentary, but the album itself acts a memoir of sorts—both chronicling his journey in the game thus far and plotting where his path will lead him in the future, and live is sure to set the HMV Forum alive with fans being privy to the lazy drawl and rhythmically complex-lyric delivery which he is renowned for.

The latest collection reflects everything that the world has come to embrace about the man born Calvin Broadus. While delivering several of the bombastic street raps that initially propelled Snoop to stardom, Doggumentary also boasts the sort of unpredictable collaborations that have made him a pop culture phenomenon.

To promote Doggumentary, Snoop has wisely conceptualized the album’s title. By aligning his social media prowess with his creative output, Snoop is "doggumenting" the album’s progress online. He has already launched the much discussed #PuffPuffPassTuesdays campaign, where he releases exclusive visual and audio content to his 2.5 million Twitter followers every week. Next, unprecedented access to Snoop's inner circle is granted via his frequent Ustream sessions.

Ahead of his headline slot at this year’s Lovebox where he is set to perform seminal album Doggstyle with Daz Dillinger and Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound), RBX, The Lady of Rage, Joe Cool and special guest Warren G banging out hit after hit from the legendary Doggystyle album in its entirety live, the HMV Forum warm up show will be the first chance this year to see Snoop perform fresh new tracks from this hot new album.
