So, unfortunately the last contest we did had to be pulled as the concert got cancelled. A shame, but I’m assured that won’t happen this time: Last.fm have secured the incredible God Is An Astronaut, MAYBESHEWILL and Nordic Giants to play their very special Christmas Live in London gig.
Hell of a lineup to be honest. The atmospheric, wintery work of GIAA alone will be an incredible experience live in person, and I expect you all to have clammy hands at the prospect of winning these.
Nothing complicated. Just email me (ajay@overratingtheunderrated.com) and tell me you want in. I’ll draw someone out randomly to win a pair of VIP tickets to this event. Feel free to get creative.

Almost a year to the day after we brought you Slaine, Reef the Lost Cauze and DJ Illegal, we’ve lined up an even bigger set of performers for the hardcore hip-hop heads.
With incredible histories in the music game, Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz bring a rapping pedigree and calibre of lyrical mastery that few can compare with, both as solo artists, part of La Coka Nostra and Jedi Mind Tricks respectively, and of course as the duo Heavy Metal Kings. Both will be joined by the revered DJ Eclipse (Non Phixion).
Support on the night comes from Leaf Dog, BVA and an additional RLD showcase that features Smellington Piff and Rag N Bone Man.
It’s an utterly stacked lineup that’s going to be unmissable for the hip-hop heads, and we’re bringing the goods to a city with one of the best rap communities in the UK right now. Tickets are on sale right now, and do yourself a favour and grab them quickly.

Some exciting news for you all: Boston native Slaine headlines this OTU Live show with his début solo performance in the UK. Slaine became internationally acclaimed for his work as a member of the La Coka Nostra collection, and having managed to hold his own alongside veterans Everlast and ILL Bill, Slaine earned himself a solid fan base and his talent grew exponentially under the limelight. After taking timeout to secure his position as the premier ‘Boston tough guy’ in movies, starring in Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Slaine returned to music in 2011 by releasing the long-awaited A World With No Skies 2.0, and more recently the universally-praised State Of Grace mixtape with Statik Selektah.
Representing Philadelphia supergroup Army of the Pharaohs is Reef the Lost Cauze, who like Slaine will be joined live onstage by DJ Illegal- one half of Europe’s most talented production team, Snowgoons.

A couple of us here at OTU are longtime and frequent users of the Last.fm service, and it’s interesting to see this next step in their progression, a very smart one given all of the great data they have at their disposal.

The monthly flagship music events, taking place in London on the first Friday of every month, will be curated by Last.fm data and powered by listeners. The first gig will be held at The Garage, London, on Friday 7th October 2011. The events will include a range of live acts selected according to the popularity of listener’s scrobbles and the Last.fm Hype Charts – providing a line-up of the most popular and hottest up and coming artists.
When asked about her appearance at the primary Live Friday gig CocknBullKid said “All I’m saying is that there’ll be a story – a cradle to the grave journey. And it will be very interactive. There may even be vogueing.”

Future Hits Live arrives at The Assembly in Leamington Spa on July 15, 2011, with performances from Wretch 32, Soundgirl, Six D, Her Majesty & The Wolves, Talay Riley, and Oh My!

Since launching, Supa Dupa Fly have had 3 literally road-blocked nights at The Jazz Café by bringing back the golden days of 90′s Hip-hop and R&B. Named after Missy’s first Album (but you knew that), the music is ONLY 90s Hip-Hop and R&B, so expect to hear the best of Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Tribe and lots more good stuff around live sets from Random Impulse and Delusionists. This will also be the Official After Party for the DMC World Dj Championships London Heat. If that’s not enough, Selected Pints & Vodka mixers are just £2.20 so we’re even doing 90s prices on the drinks! Oh, and Time Out recommend it too!
The DMC event from 7pm will feature DMC World Champion DJ Ligone from France showcasing and judging and DMC’s host INJA performing debut cuts from his long awaited solo album ‘Inja:Maker’. DMC World Champion 89 – Cutmaster Swift will also be spinning.

You may have seen us preview these events and wonder if they’re worth going to: Wonder no more, as we checked out their last event, and can confirm they warrant checking out.
Arriving to a buzzing, somewhat extensive queue (which let us know we were probably in for something good!), it turned out the Jazz Café bouncers were not used to dealing with such an enormous turnout. Confusion ensued, but thankfully everything was settled! Making our way to the OTU table (shouts to Shaun for hooking us up), we soaked in the atmosphere provided by an energetic set from Rizzle Kicks, and found ourselves entertained whilst waiting in the surprisingly short bar queues. The classic hip-hop started flowing shortly afterwards, and it’s fair to say we were delighted to hear some of hip-hop’s greatest ever tracks being played one after the other, from Big Poppa, Do For Love, 93 till’ Infinity to Doo Wop and more. We were even treated to a few from the 2000′s, which might not stick with the advertised theme, but made for a welcome rule break with crowd-pleasers such as Dirt Off Your Shoulder. All in all a great night, and we’d highly recommend the next Supa Dupa Fly event on Saturday 4th June: you can find out more details by clicking right here.

Do you remember when you were growing up, and you first heard Biggie or Tupac? Did you used to listen to the Pure Swing Albums? Remember when you first went out to some dodgy club with too much make-up or hair gel with fake ID to get down to your fave jams? It was the late 90’s, and if you were like us, you we’re listening to Hiphop and R&B!
Supa Dupa Fly will be bringing back those times! Named after Missy’s first Album (but you knew that), the music is ONLY 90’s Hip-Hop and R&B, so expect to hear Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, KRS One, Wu-Tang, Nas, Bigge, Tupac, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, LL Cool J and all your fav cheesy 90’s R&B joints from R Kelly, Whitehead Brothers, Montell Jordan, Destiny’s Child, Jodeci and lots more!
The above sounds like an epic night; not one to be missed! You can even email your song requests to get free entry before 11pm to itssupadupafly@gmail.com. If that doesn’t convince you, selected pints and vodka mixers are only £2.20 – unheard of in London! For more details, click the flyer to the left so you can see it properly in full size.
