Mixclique Vision - @RoyalTMusic Set at Cable - 13.08

In the past few days everyone has been talking about the memorable night at Cable last Saturday and, with the DJ sets available to download already, it's hard to decide who hyped most the crowd among DOK, Royal T, Swindle, Champion, Elijah & Skilliam, Terror Danjah and Kode 9. 

Although, Royal T is definitely in my top 3. Opening up with a remix of Wild Cherry's 'Play That Funky Music', Royal T got the Cable ravers dropping some next skanks to Orangeade VIP and carried on with his "epicality" throughout his set.


As if it wasn't enough, Merky Ace and Ego added up extra hype when they touched the mic. If you don't believe me, well have a look yourself.

P MONEY, LITTLE DEE, KOZZIE & MERKY ACE - DON'T WATCH THAT - FREESTYLE

Ra-tat-tat-ta! Tim & Barry are back with a brand new look for dontwatchthat.tv and a sick grime cypher including the P Money, Little Dee, Kozzie and Merky Ace. Keeping it grimey as usual, the four mc's set the lyrical levels straight after the first bar fully repping South East London.

"Didn't wanna put your trust in I? Didn't wanna put your trust in me?"

Motive also catches up with the most talked Grime mc at the moment, P Money, and tries to find out more about his next release with Blacks (Royal T, Chase & Status among the producers and Krept&Konan on a feature), his new projects and more.

M.I.K. & Merky Ace - 'Shut Down' prod. by Spooky

You know those kind of tracks that make you want to slap the person sitting next to you on the train or punch your neighbour in the face? No? Well after the first spin of M.I.K. and Merky Ace's 'Shut Down' you will.

With Spooky "The Spartan" creating magic on the buttons (this is the sickest remix of Rude Kid 'Jack Daniels'), 'Shut Down' is one of the most grimey track I've heard recently.

After the success of M.I.K. 'Do It' and Merky Ace 'Blue Battlefield', nothing but bags of hype dropping like bombs in this "gun fingers" back to back.

Y'OH X KIDS of GRIME Afterparty [VIDEOS]

On Thursday night history was made. Y'OH launch and KIDS of GRIME first solo exhibition at Pure Evil Gallery was the place to be! Pleasantly surprising, a lot of people turned up at the gallery to experience one of the most talked events of the month.

Not the only success of the night as the afterparty at Apples & Pears was legendary! And no it's not gassed talk.

In a packed basement, Grime veterans and new comers came together and murked every single record JJ and Vectra spinned on the decks. If you weren't there, I think words cannot describe the hype and the energy of the night, but you definitely get a grasp of what you have missed watching the videos below.

Jammer - Murkle Man

Lady Leshurr, Lioness, A. Dot and Diesle

Rival & Lil Nasty

Kozzie and Merky Ace - Grime set

Jammin, RD & Lil Nasty

Massive shout out to The Grime Report for the footage of the night.

Thanks to the DJ's, MCs and everyone who came down and made the night one to remember!
