What other way is there to describe Westwood than BEAST (pause).... Here he is at 1xtra Live doing what he does best. The great thing about this is that Tim doesn't hide the fact he just doesnt get dubstep! Despite him still killing it at 53 with his new daytime slot on 1xtra take a look and see if you think he's dyed his hair black (to look like Eminem of course, not to hide the fact he's going grey!).

I recently interviewed a new up and coming rapper from London called JR, check it out...1)So JR, describe your style as an emcee and what led you to doing what you do? I would say my style is definitely unique. I don't use too many punch lines, i prefer to tell you a story about real life experiences. The positive and the negative really. I can go into a mode where I just start thinking these random thoughts where the vocabulary i use gets a bit explicit. Other than that i just keep... Read Full Story
Ruff Sqwad's very own RAPID with his new music video 'GO.' Directed by Luke Biggins and produced by Yasha Malekzad. For more on Rapid please visit http://www.myspace.com/rapid20.I GENUINELY rate Rapid both for his ability to produce hot grime as well as spit at a level you don't get with a lot of MCs.Check this track he did with Ghetts a few months back, definitly one of the best deep grime tunes I've heard.Rapid Ft. Ghetto - One Way Road Read Full Story
Make sure you take a listen to this remix of Mr Hudson's collabo with Kanye, a brilliant track called 'Anyone but him' off his latest album Straight no chaser, definitely recomend that 1!However this remix features the latest grime artist to be abducted by a major label Tinie Tempah. Tinie's been putting out a good level of work over the last few years (Tears being his biggest) but sensibly tends to stay out of the 'madness' the scene can often find itself in.Also on this one is grime's harde...

I interviewed the newest member of Boy Better Know and Big Dada at his yard over here in North London where he revealed a lot of info about his recent label/group movements, what REALLY happened to his foot, Jammer and I also got a disgustingly sick freestyle from him. Check it... Read Full Story
Both of these ones are definitly one for the club/party and are both targeted more to the dance music heads than the other side of grime (which they both also cater to) which is more for road content with substantial lyrics and context. Good effort from both of them tho and hopefully this will expose grime as a less instense/serious genre of music which is necessary to push it beyond it's current fanbase even further.Wiley - Take That.Jammer - Party Animal Read Full Story
Here's the video from Charlie Sloth for his new single, One More Drink which is a story of how a good night can turn sour when you drink too much... In case you're not aware of Charlie Sloth he's made his name primarily through a number of online webisodes about his life as an independent rapper trying to make it in the cut throat music industry... I have a feeling this one will do well with that Mike Skinner-esque vibe to it... Read Full Story
