The track has received the approval of Rinse FM (on Sian Anderson's show) and his previous mixtape has generated a lot of interested from bloggers and DJs, such as Logan Sama.

Who's The F*ckin Gangster? Rival sends for Z Dot

Shortly after Z Dot released his 'Gangster EP' including the infamous instrumental, Rival didn't waste no time to address the producer who, for unknown reasons, wasn't willing to send the East London MC the beat when the first remixes came out.

And Rival once again murked another beat (sending for Z Dot with explicit bars) and delivered one of the best versions of 'Gangster'.

Look out for 'Constructive Violence' coming soon.

DJ Whoo Kid Presents Wiley - 'Creating A Buzz (Vol.1)'

The controversial Godfather of Grime is the fourth UK artist to team up with DJ Whoo Kid on a mixtape and let me tell you 'Creating A Buzz (Vol.1)' is simply epic.


Including his much talked freestyle 'I'm On One' featuring Giggs, the mixtape opens up with what could be defined an educational intro as Wiley shares few tips on how to create a buzz in the over-saturated industry.

Hosted by his schoolmate Ashley Cole (WTF? you might be asking yourself well you're not alone), the Eski Boy has crafted another musical gem. In real American style some autotune and couple of gunshots have been thrown in, but I can guarantee you won't find yourself skipping any track.

With skits from two UK heavyweights of cinema (Jason Stathan and Sasha Baron Cohen), 'Creating A Buzz (Vol.1)' spaces from Hip Hop to a more R&Bish sound, passing through Grime and our beloved Garage featuring G-Unit Tony Yayo, the mesmerising vocals of Alexa Goddard and Shanelle.

Overall one of those release you will blast in your house or car anytime of the day and of the year.


Download it from here.

Jammin - Call Of Duty EP - Free Download

Jammiiiiiiiiiiiin! If you are a regular listener of any Grime radio show you must have been waiting for this release as much as me (well if you haven't I don't care then).

'Wake Up Call' EP has finally landed online just over an hour ago and let me just tell you that it shouldn't have been given for free because it is BIIIIIIG! (Yes I'm on a hype...)

To accompany the talent of Jammin, the EP features OG's P Money and Blacks (Oh my God, oh my God...), fellow Nationality members RD, Imz and Blaze, BBK Jammer and Shorty and Rival.

'Wake Up Call' kicks off with pure hype: 'Call Of Duty' and 'OMG' introduce you to one of the best free releases of 2011 so far.

Lyrical gifted and with killer hooks Jammin has delivered a consistent release which you'll have on loop for at least two hours (especially if like me you keep on reloading the first two tracks).

Anyway as they say talk is cheap, so the best thing you can do is click here (I suggest MegaUpload link) and just turn the volume of your speakers to the max.
