Eric Turner’s Youtube channel mentions Turner’s “stadium sound“, and that’s a rather accurate description. I’ve had this song on repeat ever since it was released a short while ago, and it’s stadium pop style is a big reason for that, making for an uplifting and engaging listen that feels suited to any listening environment.
Eric’s been involved in some big tracks with both artists in the past, as Indi’s already covered in the audio review, and their inclusion makes for a big duo of co-signs. I’m a fan of Lupe’s verse on this, with his speed and timing sliding in nicely with the production, whilst Tinie’s contribution is surprisingly enjoyable, alongside the huge Eric Turner vocals which are an excellent listen that really anchor the track.
The video has a likeable spray paint effect throughout, as the respective performers are visualised in an exciting, perpetually-moving art style that adds an unpredictability and uniqueness to the visual, in a relatively simple manner. Decent watch that brings the audio to life.

Eric Turner’s worked with both Tinie Tempah and Lupe Fiasco on separate tracks in the past, so it’s only natural these three come together for a big collaboration (keeping with the theme of transatlantic-ism!).
If you’ve heard any of Eric Turner’s collabos with urban artists from both sides of the Atlantic, then you’ll know what to expect: Very addictive vocals from Eric with a banger of a beat to match. Lupe and Tinie both come through with decent verses, but would it be fair to say that Tinie’s verse is the better of the two? These are controversial times we live in. Download below.

I think it’s fair to say that despite Lupe’s Lasers selling very well on a commercial level, on a critical level his album has been panned. I myself felt very let down by the direction Lupe went with (with most of the songs orientated towards a pop sound, with less focus on lyrics), though Lupe Fiasco claims this was mandatory in order for Atlantic to allow him to release it. I won’t go into what I think on the matter, otherwise I’ll be writing for days, but what I will say is Words I Never Said proved to be one of the few songs of its kind on the release.
Here we have an unofficial video of sorts, with the now proving to be popular ‘typography’ type videos that have shown to be a good promotional tool. The song in question is Break The Chain, featuring UK rapper Sway and recent ‘go-to guy’ Eric Turner providing the hook. I like this type of video for songs of a lyrical nature, so this song doesn’t really fit in that regard, however whilst this isn’t a classic Lupe song, I did really enjoy it. As you know by my posts on this site, I have no issues with commercial songs itself if they genuinely sound good like this one.

I haven’t listened to Lasers yet (time constraint, not a boycott!), but from the widespread fan backlash, I can probably safely say that this track should have made it. He’s been performing this live for quite some time, and it was something many looked forward to being on Lasers. I believe it somehow ended up with Tinchy Stryder, but there we are.
This track is pretty much everything the live version promised. Grand, uplifting Eric Turner hook accompanied by a thumping production that will certainly inspire and get your head nodding. Lupe’s lyrics are decent enough, as he comes through on a ‘look towards the sky’ sort of vibe which itself has slight hints of that Food and Liquor style. Certainly a track that could have penetrated the mainstream and would have definitely satisfied his die-hards. Alas, it wasn’t to be, and Lupe’s undoubtedly worse off without it.

A definitely inebriated Giggs takes over Westwood TV and takes us backstage of Tinchy Stryder’s recent album launch party. A must watch as far as I’m concerned, I had no idea Giggs was so hilarious! I was on the fence about him/his music, but after seeing this I’m now a fully fledged fan.
He may have a rep for being “arrrrrd” (being incarcerated for gun possession suggests it’s not just an image) but it’s great seeing him just having fun. People he interviews in this include: Devlin, Ghetts, JME, Skepta, Griminal, Mr Hudson, Tinchy Stryder and a fair few other artists as well as some randomers.
Click on below to see parts 2 and 3 of this (towards the end of part 3 he kicks some freestyles to some American production, ironically one of them being a Young Jeezy beat!).

Official video already for the new Tinie Tempah track – the English folk tend to bust them out quicker than our American cousins! Judging by the quick look I had at this vid, Tinie Tempah has very strong backing from his label, with regards to budget spent on visuals.
Audio for this sure to be mainstream hit can be attained from here.

Not a fan of this guy by any means, but my 1st impressions tell me that I like this track – and my 1st impressions are usually bang on the money. That means you’ll probably like this too.
