Is on its way and we hear Stryder’s mixtape is almost finished and they’ve even got their own DVD coming out. Keeping it E3, Ruff Sqwad have lost their minds and sampled “I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight”, but we love it because they can do no wrong in our eyes. Make sure you pick up a copy of Taliban Trim and Scratchy’s new tune, “Trim and Scratch”, which is just too big. We heard that G-Unit wouldn’t let the boys have a dressing room, so they had to wait in the car park till showtime, but destroyed the show. Roll Deep also supported 50 Cent at Wembley this month. The sound for Roll Deep’s set was fucked, but everyone was just happy that Wiley actually showed up. Tony & Timmy (or whatever they’re called) told little anecdotes before each song.
sponsored Roll Deep show at Cargo was a great success with The Mitchell Brothers, bless ’em, in support. You should think about doing grime themed scatter cusions or something else that’ll push the scene forward. ? You guys might want to find a new hussle. It’s also great value: 6 mix CDs and a DVD all for less than an eighth of skunk! We love all these ghetto grime DVDs (big up Ratty and Capo, the originators) but what are these young Scorceses going to do when Channel 4 comes out with its grime soap opera or interactive docu-drama or whatever it is, The bonus DVD is hilarious too, showing footage of MC Riko reloading his own records and Logan Sama in a vest. Vol 1 is also out in shops and is fucking crazy, with sets from Ruff Sqwad, Roll Deep, Logan Sama, Plasticman (the Jeff Mills of grime) and Slimzee. Is out now, available from all good record stores or Risky’s house, if you know where that is. Listen out for “Scatta” on theĭVD as well as an interview with Matt Shadetek. , which features freestyles from Jammer, Ears and Neckle Camp. Anyway, Shadetek will be touring Europe all over winter to promote their new mixtape They’ve got two big riddims, “Legs” and “Scatta”, on Jammer’s new album (why is Jammer getting everyone else to produce his album? I thought he was supposed to be top producer).
Team Shadetek, originally from NYC, now living in Berlin, are producing for Jahmek The World and Neckle Camp. Stacs of Stamina, the Eurocrunk guys from Sweden on London’s Werk label (Eurocrunk = white guys with dreadlocks rapping over electronica) have hooked up with Ears for their new single and we’re kinda liking it.
Look out for the mucky “Dem All Shoot” by MG77’s Phokus, which JME is set to vocal. Maxximus hooked up with Ruff Sqwad and JME while they were in Germany and will be around in London at the end of the year to do some tracks with Tinchy Stryder, Dirty Danger and Lady Fury. DJ Maxximus, who became obsessed with grime when living in London and hearing Rinse FM while driving around Hackney, has started his own grime label, MG77. Showerman! You’ve also got overseas producers and DJs making moves. and as well as heading to Stockholm with Logan Sama, DMZ, Virus Syndicate, Skepta and Jammer, he’s also playing in just about every major city in Europe. DJ Plasticman just got back from touring the U.S. We hear Wiley’s now got more air miles than Michael Palin (although he still manages to miss half of the events he’s booked for). Promoters in Europe are holding more grime raves than we have over here. That’s Fuckries! If you want to see grime MCs performing live, you might as well travel abroad. Anyway, at the last FWD we went along for DJ Target’s set, but Ruff Sqwad, Skepta and God’s Gift, who were all inside, didn’t even touch mic. We’re not saying that’s a bad thing-top producer needs his beauty sleep.
We go to every FWD just to hear Jammer spit his “Merkle Man” bars (and then watch him throw the mic on the ground and walk off when he gets a reload) but when we get there, we find him asleep in the corner. Sometimes you might see some kids spitting bars in the KFC in Bethnal Green or you might hear a car blaring out Rinse FM on Kingsland Road, but that’s it. If you think east London is some kind of grime Mecca, then it’s about time we put you straight. If you don’t live in London and have been reading about grime through internet blogs, you’ve probably got it twisted. We’re not sure how long we can keep this page going if something doesn’t happen soon.
