Fresh from the release of her mixtape (get that here), Mz Bratt releases some visuals from one of my favourite tracks from it. The video is set somewhere that has great scenery and sunshine (safe to say not in the UK!), and it supplements the whole vibe of the sound that the song conveys. You may have gathered from previous posts on this website about Mz Bratt and Dot Rotten, these are two artists in the UK scene who are well worth listening to, and this video certainly solidifies that belief. Edit: Bringing this back to the top as Dot Rotten has made the audio for this available for free. He’ll also be releasing the rest of the EP for free over the next couple of weeks. Click here to go to his website and get hold of this track. Often people like to pigeon-hole UK urban artists into a certain type of genre and when they step out of said genre, they get vilified for it. For me this is counter-productive: as, in my opinion, the best music is the most innovative music i.e. just something that goes against the grain. From Ed Sheeran’s Collaborations EP, Dot showed he can make music that isn’t necessarily grime in origin. Here’s his latest video for a song which is from his upcoming EP, Above The Waves. The video was actually shot in Paris, which makes for something rather different to what we’re used to when it comes to music videos in the UK. It certainly fits in well with production!
FaithSFX first emerged on the UK Urban music scene in 2006, where his extraordinary beatboxing skills have seen him much in demand appearing at large clubs and touring. He has produced tracks for many artists from the UK underground scene, and his production is known for using only his own vocal effects and beatboxing sounds. More recently, Faith has been touring with Plan B, winning over new audiences including Sir Elton John and Paloma Faith. 2011 sees the release of his debut album ‘Man or Machine’. Sounds like a very interesting project, with some esteemed names here in the grime scene on collaboration duty. Certainly one I will be checking out, you can click right here to get hold of the mixtape and click on below to see some tracklisting in full. → Continue Reading Faith SFX-All From The Mouth Mixtape Vol 1
So who is Ed Sheeran? And how did someone whose main influences include the likes of Bob Dylan & Damien Rice come to collaborate with some of grime’s best artists? The 19-year old hails from East Anglia, first picking up his guitar and making songs in 2002. He got his big break appearing on SBTV, exposing Ed’s music to a whole new scene, resulting in contact with the artists who feature on the EP, amongst others (like Example, who enlisted Ed as tour support).

With the likes of Ghetts, Dot Rotten and Maxta, this remix will appeal to the Grime heads a lot more than the one that featured more mainstream acts like Example and Professor Green. With two artists I’m personally liking a lot lately, Wretch 32 and Griminal (who has recently signed a major label deal), performing on this remix, it’s one that I’m preferring to the original. No audio for you now folks, but I’ll hook you up as soon as possible. Really starting to feel Dot Rotten. Drops some deadly bars here which proves he’s one of the most talented UK MC’s out there. Looking forward to that Love, War And Rock N Roll. Not convinced? Check out more Dot material here. EDIT: This is really addictive. I’ve watched it through four times already! Dot builds some irresistible momentum towards the end and if you’re into that stripped-out, lyrics-central type thing, you will love this.
Resident Londoner Dot Rotten goes after N-Dubz over their own beat. Glad a grime MC has finally stepped up to check them back in place after it seems that most just want to collaborate with them. |
