Grime has grown into one of the biggest genres in recent
years and has gone from only appearing on Channel U, to now appearing on most
music channels imaginable throughout the UK. Who do we have to thank for the rise
of Grime, is it the self-proclaimed Godfather Wiley? Maybe Kano for his debut
album Home Sweet Home, which I still rate as one of the best albums ever.
Maybe, Stormzy has helped, from going from a park to winning 2 BRIT awards. All
these names are worthy mentions, however, listening to Sneakbo’s debut album “Brixton” Sneakbo feels he deserves to be
mentioned.

Nipsey Hussle – Victory Lap
Now,
I am a relatively new Nipsey fan. When I was going through YouTube and I heard
the lead single “Rap N*****” I knew this guy was talented. I then saw the
other single “Last Time I checc’d” Ft YG and knew that I had slept on this guy’s
talent.

Devvon Terrell – Weird Nights - Album Review
Now, first
of all, I am extremely late on this one but, this deserved to be talk about.
Devvon Terrell is not an artist I know much about, but one that I shall definitely
be keeping an ear towards from now on. Having heard his song “Temperature” on the Joe Budden podcast,
thanks to Rory Farrell choosing this as the sleeper’s song of the week, I was
instantly hooked and knew I need more of this.

2017: The best year in music?
2017 has been one of the greatest years in music in a long
time from triumphant returns from Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Stormzy, Giggs,
Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z, Big KRIT, and the phenomenal album from Chris Brown.
Whilst most artists came back glorious after a long spell off, some artists
proved 2017 was not the year for them, like Eminem whose album Revival is still
splitting fans whether it is classic Eminem or if he is washed up.

Jeezy – Pressure – ALBUM REVIEW
Jeezy is back, its snowman season! The title of his 8th
studio album is titles “Pressure” and when you’re this long into your career
with such a huge fanbase, the question really is, does Jeezy face pressure? His
last album Trap or die 3 came out last year in October so what has Jeezy got to
show for the 14 months since his last album.

G-Eazy – The Beautiful & Damned - ALBUM REVIEW
Usually, a G-Eazy album is something I wouldn’t find myself
looking forward to hearing, however with the successful single rollouts with
the A$AP Rocky and Cardi B featured “No Limits” single and the recently
released “Him and I” Featuring Halsey, the singles released have been getting a
lot of play from myself, leading to the anticipation of this album.

NERD No_One Ever Really Dies Album Review, are they back to there best?
NERD have been a longstanding necessity in Hip-Hop. The
sound of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley are always something to be
hyped. From the earlier sounds like “Rockstar”
in 2001 to the latest single “Lemonade”
featuring the long-awaited Rihanna and Pharrell collaboration we have waited
for, NERD is always something needed by the culture of music. It has been 7
years since we have heard a full NERD project, with Pharrell growing into one
of the biggest artists in the world, including creating a single which is due
to be released in 100 years, how much time does Pharrell have for NERD now?

Will the Real Slim Shady, Please Stand Up?
As 2017 comes to close, we reflect on what has possibly the
best year in some time for music. We are in the final weeks of December and
arguably the biggest hip-hop album has dropped.
Eminem Revival was released on 15th December,
making sure it will be on your kids Christmas list this year (if they still do
lists) so, is the album worth the listen?
Short answer, yes. Eminem has given plenty of great music of
the years, so I feel he always deserve to be listened too, however, the replay
value and content of some of the songs are not up to Eminem’s level.
