More U.K music being blogged, check out Tinchy Stryder a rapper from London. This guy has quite a few accolades under his belt including over 1'000'000 single sales. If you ain't heard about him down your sides then just do a Google/YouTube/Wikipedia search and you'll be enlightened lol !

Now you may be wondering why I got a screenshot of Tinchy up. Well, if you look deeper you can see he is wearing a t-shirt that has the ROC NATION logo on it. Now, not tryna start a false rumour but is this a hint to the signing of Tinchy Stryder to Jay Z's Roc Nation label ?

Only time will tell..........

Drake - Light Up Ft. Jay Z

Take A Listen Here

More leaks from Drizzy's upcoming album Thank Me Later has surfaced. This one titled 'Light It Up' featuring Hova is one of them joints you literally light up and just 'head bump' to, Drake dropped hot lines with the talks of a soon-to-be-legend especially the line when he says 'I just wanna tell the truth before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot'. To me that just screamed Biggie and 'Pac. 

Rihanna - Rockstar 101 - Official Video

Check out Rihanna's new music video from her album 'Rated R' here is 'Rockstar 101'. The visuals in this are pretty cool and quite dark themed going back to the original album aura. I pretty much like most of Rihanna's videos so I may be abit biased but isn't that what my blog is about lol.

Trey & Keri........... Hmmmm

Trey Songz - Yo Side Of The Bed Trailer


Peep the trailer for Trey Songz's new music video 'Yo Side Of The Bed'  from his current album 'Ready'. This looks like it has a very interesting storyline as, it would seem his girlfriend (who is Keri Hilson btw) is on call for the war in Iraq whilst they both have a daughter together. The trailer gives you a little insight whilst teasing you on what the video will be about. I'm kinda hoping it'll be a short movie......

'Fabolous' but would last night deserve this adjective ?

What's up y'all ?

So if you didn't hear, last night Fabolous performed in London at the Indigo 02, on the last stop in his European Tour. Like many of my friends, I was very excited & anxious to see Mr. Loso perform hits from his latest mixtape live for us to bump along to. It was my first time seeing him live and I was privileged to get a balcony ticket for free from a very good friend.

As I arrived the night started off with G-Frsh, a resident rapper from London who kicked off the night with energy and well-known lines from his songs for the crowd to bump to. Then shortly after, I was quite confused as I'm sure there were more opening acts confirmed such as Scorcher,Young Nate & Sincere but I didn't see them perform, maybe there was conflict between the promoter or I wasn't around ¬_¬. Well, anyway Tim Westwood (who needs no introduction) kept the atmosphere alive by playing an array of club hits and old school jams for us to vibe to and mingle whilst anxiously waiting for Fab to come on stage.

When the time finally came, Loso came on stage hype kicking it off with a Loso's Way favorite 'Imma Do It'. We all went wild and everyone around me seemed to be big Loso fans as they all knew the lyrics ! As the perfomance went along he performed many bangers from "Body Ya" to his old hits like "Breathe" & "Make Me Better". Honestly, I was really liking the perfomance as there was alot of critisicm towards his concert as many said he will only stand in one place and just rhyme.

(Fab on stage, Photo courtesy of Genevieve El Bazar Photography)

This actually was NOT the case, (he wasn't no Chris Brown or Lil Wayne) but he kept the energy alive until........... only approximately 25 MINUTES into his performance. He announced it was "This is the last song". Everyone was like "WHAAAATTT". After making us wait so long he performed for no longer than 30 mins, Although, he tried to keep performing and the DJ tried to keep the backing tracks mixing into other songs the venue had to shut it down. The concert ended pretty abruptly with shout-outs to the AfterParty venue which left many people upset.

I decided to get a short review from a few friends of mine who were there:

Suave from www.MitchandSuave.com rated the night - 4/10 with a few words stating - "He was only out for literally 25mins, P*ssyh*le, It's his own fault coz he was too busy shopping down in West End & Tweeting away"

Genevieve (the photographer I got the pics from) rated the night - 8/10 with a few words stating "Apart from them dead acts before (him) it was good. (Tim) Westwood kept it together" 

Whitney (My friend who got me the tickets) rated the night - 6/10 with a few words stating "It was a very long winded evening quite disorganised but when Fabo eventually came on he was really good" 


In my opinion, I rate the night a 5/10.... It seemed quite disorganised and the performance time was too short for most to enjoy, on the other hand while he was on stage he kept the energy alive and I loved how each song mixed into the other really smooth lol !

Was you there ? What did you think ? (Users can now leave anonymous comments to encourage more comments)

A special shout out to Genevieve El-Bazar, all photo's were courtesy of her photography of the night !

Fan Of A Fan

It's finally here ! The long awaited mixtape from two of the freshest young'ins in the game right now. Titled "Fan of a Fan" the mixtape is hosted by both DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar, it not only features songs with both of them but they have a few solo joints to really show off their skills. As Chris Brown shows us why he is still an all round great entertainer as he uses this mixtape as a platform to show off his rapping skills whilst Tyga keeps our heads bumping with that fresh L.A swag mixed in with some dope lines !

If you haven't already downloaded the mixtape CLICK HERE for the DOWNLOAD link!

If You Didn't Know....

I know I blog alot of acts mostly from U.S so I'm trying to post some more U.K friendly content lol... Check out 'Chipmunk' if you don't know about him then get on Google and do your Wikipedia search.....

These are quite cool.....

So I was going through the Levis X Dr. Romanelli Beach Collection and couldn't help but notice these dope pair of kicks !

You can imagine how difficult the past few months of the year have been for the brand ! But getting back in the shape of things, Here are a some of the looks from the Autumn/Winter 2010 Alexander McQueen collection.

"The McQ collection is inspired by the spirit of the youth. For now, we’ll take inspiration from the man whose name this label was founded on." - Selectism

THE 2010 TIME 100

It's that TIME of the year. When TIME Magazine list the 100 most influential people of our time, now this should need no introduction but for those who don't know this is done annually ! The list has been categorised in sections such as Leaders, Artists, Heroes And Thinkers.

Peep the video below for some insight into the issue:


I gotta say, I'm quite happy people like Lady GAGA, Marc Jacobs and of course Mr. Obama made the cut..... But I do wonder why didn't Lil Wayne make the cut..... We are talking in terms of influence right ?

Anyway, Peep the full list by CLICKING HERE !
